We like to have dinner with friends who believe we should love animals, not eat them. Yes, other folks would argue they taste good and that vegetarian is just a Native American word for “bad hunter,” but we’ve seen the photos and read accounts of bad farming practices. Cows, chickens,…
When we first walked into Quattro Gastronomia Italiana, we were mesmerized by the stylish bar located in the back of the restaurant. The gleaming mirrors and glass, and the slick black counter and leather chairs had the right amount of swank without being pretentious. As we sat down, our bartender…
Oh, man, I had the strangest dream last night, and you were in it. Only you weren’t really you; you were Mickey Mouse. I was Minnie, of course, and we were traveling around the world. And do you know what the weird part was? We were wearing those big shoes…
Like Bridget Jones, we used to scoff at the “smug marrieds” as they held hands and gave us sympathetic looks as we stood alone at yet another wedding, posing in a sea-foam-green taffeta bridesmaid disaster. Being single sucks, and we never want to go back there. Now it’s time for…
So how about them Dolphins? They had a strong finish last season, and we soon had visions of Super Bowl celebrations after we heard they had secured quarterback Daunte Culpepper. Now we don’t want to be naysayers already, seeing that we are still trying to dig ourselves out of the…
A friend of ours once told us that to be a proper host we should always keep these drinking staples on hand: Chimay, ginger beer, and a good rum, “Not that Bacardi crap,” the wise Brit would say. If our buddy were in town, we know he would be the…
You still have the hoop-skirted cotton-candy-pink dress and dried-out wrist corsage, along with the photo of you and the wrong guy smiling uncomfortably beneath a canopy of metallic balloons and streamers. They say you can’t go back, but tonight you will finally have a second chance to go to the…
The Dolphins closed the preseason by trouncing the Rams, the roster was trimmed, and they opened the season with a 28-17 loss to the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, even with their sidelined QB, Ben Roethlisberger. Yes, there was a bad call (didn’t you see Saban throw the red flag?),…
Although none of the treats will be as magically delicious as Nancy’s popcorn balls on Weeds, you are sure to find a tasty pastry to satisfy your munchies at the Great American Bake Sale today from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Fountain Court in Aventura Mall. Local bakeries and…
We thought it would never happen, but everything Eighties is back in style. Ankle boots, leggings, skinny jeans with zippered ankles, oversize sweaters that fall off the shoulder. Even jodhpurs, plaid skirts, houndstooth vests, and big hair are popping up in all the latest fashion magazines. But you don’t have…
Your boyfriend is a bit friskier than usual and your dog won’t stop barking at the sofa. Could it be the vegetarian chimichangas you fed them? Maybe, but it is probably just a case of full-moon fever. Put Brutus in his crate and take your handsome man (your dog and…
We know you have had a busy summer playing indoors with that cute boy you met at the pool, but you really need to get out of the house and expose yourself to a little culture. Tonight from 7:00 to 9:00, you two can gaze at the stunning photography of…
We are happy to spend our Sundays in our pajamas, drinking coffee, and reading the New York Times with our honey. That is until he starts nudging us with his toe while making that pouty-lip face and murmuring pancakes. Since he knows we reserve our spatula usage for bedroom spankings,…
Since sandal season is year-round in Florida, you need to keep on your toes to make sure your tootsies stay sexy and callus-free. You could do the sloughing, rubbing, and polishing yourself but that is such a drag. Instead, treat your tired feet to a relaxing hour in the calming…
Honey, could you give me a massage? Ugh! Ooof! Ouch! What are you doing? Not like that! Sound familiar? There is nothing worse than a bad massage. Besides the fact that it hurts, you could really do some damage. Help your honey learn the difference between good and bad touch…
There really isn’t any scary about the weekly Scary-Okee New Wave karaoke event at Broadway Billiards. In fact, you have nothing to fear since you won’t have to endure any crap like “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” or “I Will Survive.” Oh, hell no. Josepher of Abusement Park Entertainment has…
Summer is finally rolling to a close. Although there are still a few weeks left until the official change of season (and a few months until we can even fathom wearing long sleeves), tonight marks the end of August and the end of preseason football in Miami when the Dolphins…
It has been brought to our attention that men really don’t know what women want, so we are going to take a few moments to clarify things. We want you to open doors for us, we like to get flowers (all kinds — tulips, lilies, sunflowers — but skip the…
You should not fear the thousands of bikers who will roar into our city this weekend for the National Association of Black Bikers Miami International Bikefest; you should embrace them. (Miami Mayor Manny Diaz did; in fact he’s the one who invited them.) But after reading more about the nonprofit…
It is a big responsibility to be in charge when your parents go out of town, but how about ruling a country? When Dom Joao VI left Brazil to return to its ruling country of Portugal, he told his son Pedro to watch over things. Well, after two years, Dom…
If you are not lucky enough to have a few British friends in your circle, allow us to introduce you to some of their slang. Fanny refers to female genitalia (not the buttocks); a chav is a working-class person who wears horrid sportswear (and too much Burberry); and a toff…
A red and white polka-dot dress with a cap and black stockings sounds more like a Minnie Mouse costume than beach attire, but chic modesty did once rule our shore, which is now overrun with silicone orbs. To take you back to a time when birthday suits were actually concealed…
