Most of you remember ‘pink slime’ don’t you? That nasty little recipe that was being used by many fast food restaurants and passed off as straight up beef to us ignorant folk?Well, there’s another very popular and equally anonymous food product ingredient, “meat glue,” that you should know about…
View photos of Aqua Girl 2012 at the Surfcomber Hotel here.Anthropologists have long studied the North American lesbian woman, with little to no success in recording accurate data. We at Cultist decided to take to the field and conduct our own anthropologistic-ish study at one of the most popular, well-known,…
Miami is hot. Not hot as in scorching 90-degree weather hot (though obviously it is that too), but the popular, trendy, Paris Hilton-y, “hawt” kind of hot. Some of us may take pride in that fact, but others have developed a very discomforting twitch in response, which our doctor refuses…
Must-See Movies at the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival
Who cares about May flowers when it’s time for Sapphic sisters to rejoice? Once again, bisexual, transgender, and lesbian women get to indulge their baser natures with the arrival of Aqua Girl.Organized by the Aqua Foundation for Women, Aqua Girl offers five days’ worth of events for women who love…
I am not going to lie and say I am completely against the tactics used on prisoners at Abu Ghraib, but when similar abuse is suffered by Americans not suspected of, well, anything really, there is a problem.We are human and we do make mistakes, but there are certain situations…
Since America began closing mental institutions in 1955, the streets have been deluged with mentally unbalanced individuals unable to care for themselves. (Blame JFK for that guy you see on your way to work every morning, who sits at the curb mumbling about spacemen and radioactive jelly beans.)As I am…
In its 14th year (God, where did the time go?), the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (MGLFF) has become one of the top LGBT film festivals in the country.And it’s no wonder why. This year’s festival will run for 10 days and feature 65 films from 15 different countries…
According to the Chinese zodiac, 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, but it should be renamed the “Year of the Salmon–ella outbreak and consequent civil suits.”Too long?Two lawsuits due to salmonella poisoning have been filed against Taco Bell this year. The second lawsuit, also filed by Marler Clark, the…
Most people think of homeless shelters as sad, hopeless places — certainly not the most inspirational settings. But two Miami artists are trying to change that — or at least shed new light on the ongoing, persistent problem of homelessness among women and their children.Antonia Wright and Deborah Magdalena, both…
We love the gay community – and we mean love, in, like, a totally gay way. Yes, we know that a gay person is just like any other. But in reality, many gays know that they are simply a little more fabulous than the rest of the world. And that…
I don’t like the online activist group Color of Change. The namby-pamby, can’t-we-all-just-get-along-as-long-you’re-a-vegan, Obama-loving, Christian-hating, war-protesting, Democratic-donkey-defending, liberal members are all a bunch of imbeciles.I know that’s a pretty broad generalization. And I’m sure you’re cursing me right now…
It all started at the Local Craft Food & Drink in Coral Gables. Throngs of people wearing Mardi Gras masquerade masks descended upon the bar to get their drink on this past Saturday. Fritz & Franz followed, then John Martin’s, and at that point, well, things get a little hazy.Organized…
American Pie is making a comeback today via American Reunion, yet another sequel to the insipid franchise. We all know what that means. Original cast members like Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, and Tara Reid ran out of money (again), and have made their way back to the ol’ cash cow.The…
Last Wednesday I had a dining experience that can only be described as orgasmic. Before you think I suffer from objectophilia or start calling me a foodshagger, let me explain that the event was intended to enhance and titillate the senses. I’m willing to bet good money that I am…
We were invited to attend a caipirinha (kai-pee-reenya) making class at SushiSamba recently, and bartender Kristen Knight was kind enough to let us record her in action so that you too can celebrate the taste of Brazil with this signature drink.While there we noticed the unique selection of liquors offered…
Between Winter Music Conference, Ultra, Miami Music Week, and the Miami International Film Festival, you might have forgotten that March is also Women’s History Month. Luckily, there’s still time to celebrate — and you don’t even have to bust out your corset. There’s no better way to close out the…
In a shameless act of pure greed, the City of Miami Beach has formed a beverage sponsorship agreement with the Coca-Cola Company.This does not mean that when exiting the MacArthur Causeway onto Fifth Street that you will drive past a sign that reads Welcome to Coca-Cola Miami Beach. It does…
It’s spring in South Florida, and you know what that means: the annual migration of a truly fascinating breed, the common Spring Breaker.So many of these specimens choose our home as their March and April vacation destination. Some make pilgrimages from far-off states in the Midwest. Others live and go…
I love Irish peeps. Some of my best friends have been Irish. The Irish are cool. The gregariousness of the Irish may be why Latinos in Miami tend to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with more reverence than they celebrate Cinco de Mayo — another so-called “drinking” holiday, but also a…
Yeah, spring break! Let’s lie in the sun all day, get wasted, and flash our tits!Thousands of kids come to Miami in just that mindset every spring. But for some of us, the aforementioned display of exuberance is so 10 years ago. Not all college students are 18-year-olds fresh out…
The undisputed queen of southern cooking, Paula Deen, is entangled in one big, ‘ole legal mess. Deen, her empire, and her brother, are all being sued for sexual harassment amid charges of sexism and racism.This comes not long after the controversy surrounding her recent “coming out” as diabetic after hiding…
