Ah, the ’90s. The era when we were but aspartame-inhaling, hydrogenated-oil-guzzling kiddies. Back then, we thought playing in the Ronald McDonald playhouse was hygienically advisable and Fruit Roll-Ups were an appropriate example to bring up during food pyramid discussions in health class. Somehow we’re still alive.But now, we’ve been called…
We love the idea of nightclub as gallery. Next-door neighbors Bar and the Vagabond change their walls so frequently it’s like a never-ending series of different venues each month. One night you can party in a graffiti-clad urban jungle and the next in a cartoonish play-land. And in April, the…
A walk past the boutiques on Ocean Drive would lead anyone to believe South Beach fashion is represented by mannequins with triple-D implants who rock jewel-encrusted Lycra dresses overlaid with skulls and exotic snakes and covered in glitter vomit.But, lest we give up on Miami fashion and relegate ourselves to…
Here at Short Order, we’re huge fans of the noodle bowl. From near-transparent cellophane strands to thick egg noodles, and from a light miso base to a thick shoyu broth, we find it cures the 3 a.m. postclub blues like nothing else. For years, we asked the food gods for…
High-waisted Lycra disco pants and coral-red lipstick. In case you hadn’t noticed, greaser/bad-girl chic is back. So Wednesday night, stop by American Apparel for shiny pants, pick up a pack of Camels, hop on the back of your boyfriend’s motorcycle, and zoom over to the SoundScape park next to New…
Crystal Castles at Ultra Music Festival March 27
Say you’re playing the 1983 Atari console game Crystal Castles, in which Bentley Bear must collect gems to advance. Bentley accidentally ingests a jewel and falls through a hallucinogenic tunnel that spirals into a secret level filled with panicky confusion, abrasive synths, and warbled voices that morph into machine-distorted screeches…
A walk past the boutiques on Ocean Drive would lead anyone to believe South Beach fashion is represented by mannequins with triple-D implants donning jewel-encrusted Lycra covered in glitter vomit. But lest we give up and relegate ourselves to the back of the (Brazilian stretchy jeans sale) line, Funkshion: Fashion…

If you’re a student at Florida International University, you might have noticed a sea of sharp, stylized graffiti; intense, handwritten messages; and brightly colored landscapes popping up on campus this week.

With all its pompous celebrities and Tony Award-winning screenwriters and tear-jerking performances, Broadway takes itself way too seriously. It was only a matter of time before someone went Not Another Teen Movie on the sacrosanct institution and created a spoof. We’re grateful that hits such as In the Heights and…

At Cafeina, Primary Flight will help CPOP Gallery transform the usually swanky garden into a warped big-top circus featuring common products, brands, and games redesigned by Tristan Eaton and Trusto Corp, a mysterious street art collective “dedicated to highlighting the hypocrisy and hilarity of human behavior through sarcasm and satire.”…
There are a lot of things that are awesome about Art Basel week, only one of which is actually Art Basel. In between staring at five-digit price-tags for paintings we’ll never buy and making awkward conversation with socialites, we’ll be headed to Arts for a Better World — a 40,000…

Primary Flight, Miami’s number one purveyor of graffiti-related events, has a line-up heavy on outdoor frolicking and low on…
Thirty years ago, when the NYPD declared war on graffiti via a newly-minted vandal squad, it would have been difficult to imagine odes to the spray can at a high-brow international art fair. But these are different times, when crews who did stints for vandalism can now get paid by…
