Flo Hernandez Born in Dallas, Florencio Hernandez, or Flo is moving up fast in stand-up comedy. Recognized as one of the hot young Latino comics. Flo is performing at clubs and events across the US.

 

Compared by critics to Latino comedy greats George Lopez and the late Freddy Soto, Flo delivers fast paced, high energy stand-up that crosses all cultural, ethnic and economic boundaries. Flo takes his comedy on the road every chance he gets and is popular with major clubs like the Hollywood Improv. This entertainer definitely rocks the house.

 

Already gaining a multi cultural fan base, Flo is known for his signature "Paleta Man", "Garage Sale" and "Taco Salad" routines, always audience favorites. Born to proud Mexican American parents, he was always the class clown while growing up.

 

As an adult, Flo tried the "corporate cubical 9 to 5 but his passion for making people laugh called him to the stage. He took the risk and jumped to pursue a full time career in comedy. Even when others thought he was crazy, he took the challenge. Today Flo is building a comedy tidal wave in clubs and cities across the southwest.

After spending a bit too much time on a far away planet, Dora’s dear friends speak of her as being ‘eccentric’ and ‘quirky’. Green tea, vintage boutiques, designer clothing deals, world news, long walks, and CBS This Morning are her faves as well as spending time remodeling gals’ wardrobes.

 

According to Miuccia Prada, “Fashion is instant language”, and Dora spent most of her life learning to speak ‘Fashionista’!  European travels and some time in Paris as a model began her journey to learn how great fashion could both inspire and express individuality. “We are all ‘fearfully and wonderfully’ made, and what we chose to wear can certainly help us to to be more of a wondrous ‘work of art’!” 

 

Dora’s fashion philosophy embraces using fashion to increase self esteem and express individual inner beauty. Our own special individuality is powerful and our priceless treasure! Fashion is expensive, “style” is not.
