Wanna know what’s in? We’ve got you covered. The long awaited, anticipated web-show Happy Hour is finally here! The Florida Agenda has the exclusives on Chris, Josh and Vixen right here. We wonder, with such strong personalities, if they get along. Have drinks ever flown on the show?

Happy Hour was created to inform the community of all current events that are happening in South Florida while sippin’ on cocktails! Three different influential points of view were chosen for the talk show. You have Vixen as the Vicious Ring Leader, Chris Aguilar as the Event Socialite, and Josue Rafuls as the Disciplined Fashionista. The three came up with the idea to have a fun talk show which informs everyone of what is currently happening in South Florida.

Gossip, Fashion, Events, Food, Nightlife – it’s all on Happy Hour!

The show, Happy Hour, premiered on JumpMiami.com on August 15th, 2011, with guest Tony Ferro. It has already received over 300 views within its premiere week and is causing an incredible buzz in the community. Maybe all the pool boys have something to do with the hot reaction! Alex Prieto, a current promoter, said “I loved being a part of it” as he watched his episode air on August 24th episode featuring an unexpected and fun Britney Spears segment. “I really want to bring the community together as a whole, so that every organization can see what we’re about and, at the same time, inform everyone of what’s happening,” says Vixen. “Everyone wants to be part of the show! I have received such great feedback from everyone,” commented Chris. “A lot of our viewers really like the fashion segment. They have been following the tips and have even told me that they really work!” says Josh. “We all get along very well; we’re very diverse but at the same time we’re all Sagittarius so we know exactly where we’re coming from. We communicate a lot, which is a great key when having three strong personalities in front of the camera,” Vixen says enthusiastically.

The show will continue to feature more incredible guests, upcoming events and the latest on the runway in the coming weeks.

Together, these three will entertain, inform and style you till you’re tipsy! You can see new episodes of Happy Hour now by visiting www.JumpMiami.com. Cheers!
