“Dance like no one is watching,” Mark Twain wrote. We say, “Dance like the world is watching. Dance like you’re on network TV, it’s primetime, and you’re wearing a sequined bolero.” Pressure makes for a hell of a two-step. At this weekend’s Miami Dance Magic, there will be not only…
Your gran taught you to never laugh at people with disabilities. Like, never. So when Josh Blue steps into the spotlight at the Miami Improv, send one middle finger to the morals you were raised with and prepare to laugh your ass off. Blue will undoubtedly poke major fun at…
A certain segment of the population (ahem, those with one X and one Y chromosome) wishes bikinis could be eaten. But aside from those made of licorice and sold in sex supply stores, swimsuits are rarely swallowed. Luckily for men, Ed Hardy, the gent who started a SoBe style trend,…
He’s doomed to pant like a marathon runner and mop the floor with his tongue from April till September. So this weekend, give Fido something to look forward to that doesn’t involve walking around the block in 100-degree heat. In fact, he’ll be elated to know that the Village of…
Everyone knows Miami Beach is the home of the $18 cocktail, but if you venture just south of Fifth, you’ll find a spot where the floors are dirty, the drinks are affordable, and the people… well, let’s just say they’re not spit-smoothing their cowlicks every 30 seconds. Love Hate Lounge…
Some only head to Broward for the drugs, some for the Cracker Barrel, and tonight a trip up 95 could have similar side effects (euphoria, giddy laughter, intestinal agitation, etc) — minus the shrinking balls and covert racism. At 8 p.m., Cedric “The Entertainer” headlines the annual comedy portion of the festival…
Hello, Kitty: I’ve been seeing a fellow officer for a while — ever since I was deployed to Kuwait six months ago. This is my second tour. My first ended when I proposed to a fellow officer whom I had been dating. Though we lived together for a while, the…
Magic City Kitty: An Officer and a Lothario
The first time you heard John Legend’s voice, it was simply in the background acting as the icing on the already-entertaining cakes of artists such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Dilated Peoples. But in late 2004, when he dropped “Used to Love U,” Legend slid into his own groove —…
The ubiquitous apple is the star of a healthful quote begging us to eat it once a day, but the mango needs no cute little nursery rhyme to make us suck on its sweet, sweet flesh. Whether we enjoy it for color, fragrance, flavor, food, or juice, everyone wants a…
The barbed wire tattoo on your bicep was the result of too many kamikazes in Cancun. That ruby-red puckered pout on your neck was a gift to yourself February 14, 1998. And the teardrop on your cheek — well, if we said it, we’d be considered an accessory to the…
To people outside the 305, Miami is a place where women lounge around in swimsuits and caftans all day, forever clutching mojitos and sporting oversize shades. If you’re reading this, it’s possible you’re not that girl. It’s also possible you are. Which is why Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week – Swim is…
You’ve probably seen Brooklyn-bred MC Rahsaan on Crossfade before (and here), and with regular shows and a loyal following from his adopted home of Miramar to the BK, why wouldn’t he be? As of today, Rahsaan is adding another element to his game – business owner. Today is the grand…

Hello, Kitty: Last weekend, my boyfriend and I argued after he woke me up by yelling in my ear while I was hung-over. Well, it was his normal speaking voice, but at 10 a.m. it sounded like he had a megaphone to my ear. I asked him: “Why the fuck…
The opening night of “Art Undressed” left the windows of the Wynwood Social Club steamy from all the dancing and role-playing. And when the erotic exhibit pulled out of Miami, people couldn’t stop talking about and dreaming of the titillating images, paintings, and live works of art. Luckily, some of…
Love in the Magic City can be sticky. The air is hot, the wind speed is nil, eyes are roving, and there’s not more you can do than treat your ears to something sandpaper-smooth. That’s right, sandpaper. Because being too sweet is what got you into this love-struck, hot-and-bothered mess…
Don’t let the psychedelic colors fool you — Joey Mugica (also known as the Color Queen) is not another Miami loon trying to force-feed his quirky art to the masses. His antics (not his art, but his “Target Therapy” excursions; YouTube it) landed him on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and…
You may party like an American the other six nights a week, but on Saturdays, hit Uva 69 for its weekly Arabian Nights shindig. This Saturday-evening chill-fest includes belly dancing (by pros, not you), hookah-puffing, Uva’s light fare and tapas, and a full bar — all framed by a backdrop…
Seven days a week, it serves sake shots and tiny bowls filled with oversize corn kernels, and on Tuesdays, SushiSamba Dromo goes way left and converts into the home of all-out Harajuku-style mayhem. You can come as you are or dress like Chun-Li from Street Fighter, but don’t stare at…
First Brit Brit’s Twitter account, and now funny things are happening with the website of our very own Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Up until a few minutes ago, if you visited the site, you’d find shots of a jovial, 20-something woman posing in what looks to be a junky dorm…
