In Ireland, only the leprechauns are clocking in to work today. The banks are closed in honor of patron saint Patrick and the air is rife with the smell of pickled beef. Irish or no, east or west of the pond, St. Paddy’s day is an excuse to drink until…
Hello, Kitty: I went to Vegas for the weekend and met a nice guy from Miami. My friends gave me shit about going out of town to meet someone from home, but I was just glad to meet someone. The problem is, he seems to be interested in making a…
Rockaway Beach, Missouri is a city with less than 600 people, but the real RB is a place in Queens, NY that has been thrust into the pop culture spotlight thanks to a song by The Ramones and an early twentieth century rep as “New York’s Playground.” You could buy…
The streets outside Moroccan eatery Tazin are usually lined with luxe modern whips, far from the camel you might see tethered outside a North African resto serving the same cuisine. But the glittery people queued up to get inside might not be able to handle the sight of a furry,…
Legendary photog Spencer Tunick made waves two years ago when he took over the Sagamore Hotel and filled it with more than 800 nude South Beachers. The birthday suit photo shoot was a clear indication that strippers aren’t the only ones who like to walk around naked. Many models disrobed…
After each fold of your brain is in use and your thirst for knowledge has been quenched, we’ll sit back and listen to you. Till then, take cues from the University of Wynwood, a collective created by our very own assistant calendar editor P. Scott Cunningham on the premise that…
Lately my gym has been calling me. Day and night. I figured that I owed them money, so to the voicemail they went. Then the sneaky fuckers blocked their number and rang me at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday. I answered. I grimaced. I paid. But what I was happy…
Editor’s Note: The following is not a poem, not quite a rap. But feel free to sing along.Muffin top real fatmy pockets so slim – How the hell am I supposed to get a workout in?You wont catch me huffin and puffin down the street,and my kids laugh when i…
Show time was at 8 and I – clutching my bowl of cereal – didn’t even think about the shitty sideshow going on at the AAA. Now it’s 9, the cereal is gone, and if I had a box full of fucks I still wouldn’t give one away to find…
You can recognize cubicle dwellers by our sun-starved skin tone, the knots in our upper backs, and an unhealthy obsession with lunchtime. That hour of the day when we can put work on hold and focus on food now has a new face: the Pool & Beach Bar at The…
If Marie Antoinette were a Miami resident, she would have ditched her famed cake proclamation and instead gone with “Let them eat pastelitos.” It’s clear from the dulce de leche menu items at McDonald’s, and the fact that in some areas of the city, the E in ESL stands for…
You could hate Andrew “Dice” Clay for being one of the most controversial figures of the ’80s, or you could sit front row at the Miami Improv (3390 Mary St., Coconut Grove) this Saturday night at 8 and give him a chance to redeem himself. Dip your French fries into…
Few celebs can brag they’ve hit rock bottom like Britney Spears. Her oh-so public breakdowns included a scalping, drunken matrimony, and an assault with an umbrella. We don’t think that car was really screaming, “Hit me, baby, one more time,” Brit. Yeah, her antics were better suited to some rock…
If you lived in Montana, you might own a tractor, and if you were a proud Alaskan, you’d probably have a snowmobile in your arsenal of vehicles. So why do you, Miamian, not own a boat? Whether boarding a yacht for afternoons on Biscayne Bay or paddling a canoe for…
Hello, Kitty: Please don’t tell anyone who sent you this letter, but I have a real important question and I don’t know who else to ask. I’m in a relationship with a girl, but I’m hiding an STD and I don’t know what to do. I contracted herpes from an…
Flo Rida, Carol City’s muscle-bound rapper and supporter of Floridians wearing “boots with the furrr,” is apparently not so hot on appearing on tracks with guys who (allegedly) beat their pop star girlfriend. The (alleged) song is called “Sweat” and though it’s been bubbling on the ‘net for a few…
“Got everybody watching what I do/Come walk in my shoes/And see the way I’m living if you really want to…,” sings Rihanna on the hook of T.I.’s “Live Your Life.” And the words are oh so appropriate for the self-proclaimed King of the South — a man who has been…
Ayesha D’Mello is on a mission to spice up Miami, and she’s armed with an arsenal of recipes that would have made George Dubya back down and retreat. In a city where you can count the Indian restaurants on one hand, her cooking classes have foodies buzzing about the tantalizing…
On any given Friday night, singles across the Magic City find themselves at Blockbuster, perusing the aisles for new releases, classics, and foreign films with enough captions to fill a book. And plenty of these same people would never be caught dead going to the theater alone. To us, a…
New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is over and done with – and the models can eat (rice cakes) again. Each winter, the tents at New York’s Bryant Park bubble over with clothes, accessories and fashionistas directing the entire world towards what’s hot and chic for the upcoming fall season. This…
I was 5 when my parents dragged me to the theater to see Hellraiser. I still can’t figure out if they couldn’t find a babysitter or thought I would actually enjoy seeing one of the scariest movies ever made, but I can remember raising my own brand of hell nearly…
