The Forge Won Its Fight

The last time I was at the Forge, I was fresh out of a shit-stained relationship. Emotionally starved, I headed to the Miami Beach landmark for a meal that I knew would probably break my measly bank account, but the promise of a rich Lobster Thermidor melting in my mouth…

Magic City Kitty – A Cure for the Common Funk

One surefire way to lower your chances of a successful sexcapade: have a foul odor wafting from your body. I know, I know we can’t all walk around smelling like lavender and vanilla all day, and your own personal fragrance is something to wear with pride; BUT if you can…

Rick Ross versus 50 Cent: What’s Beef?

Forgive us Miami. For the past few days, a Rick Ross/50 Cent war of the words has been all over the internets and we’re just getting around to reporting on it. Blame it on the fact that a headline containing “Curtis Jackson” and “beef” made us think that it was…

A Sunday Ritual Gets Remixed

Maybe Miss Manners and Emily Post ate brunch at 11 a.m. each Sunday, but a life of late-night debauchery completely eliminates the idea of breakfast and causes the hermaphrodite of meals to appear on the menu. We love brunch because it’s confused as to whether it wants to ply us…

Danny, Sing Us a Tune

The puff paint on his Christian Audigier hat glistens under the sexy lighting at Red Room, and the crowd is transfixed by his drunken confidence. His boyish grin suggests he might sing a little Enrique, but his spiky hair disagrees and makes the crowd think he’ll choose ’N Sync. Yeah,…

This Runway Needs No Project

Some think of it as nothing more than a glorified strut down an empty walkway, but a closer look reveals that fashion shows are pure theatrics. From the perfectly sculpted figures — also known as “models” — down to the clock that times each entrance and every wardrobe change, it’s…

How Much Is That Booby in the Window?

Blame it on our sedentary, preservative-filled lifestyle or the unattainable standards of beauty that bombard our psyche, but we sorta think a trip under the knife might help us love ourselves a little more. A nip-nip here and a tuck-tuck there, and we’d be as happy as Kelly Ripa. But…

Cooler than a Blockbuster Night

Blockbuster stores, megaplexes, and gargantuan vats of butter-soaked popcorn have turned the cinema experience from a cozy cultural happening into a journey into the belly of the beast. An economical beast without a soul, that is. The theaters and festivals that dare to display the reels that can’t score the…

Kitty Gives Lesbians a Lesson in Dildos

Hello, Kitty: My girlfriend and I are lesbians with a wonderful sex life — or at least I thought we had one before last week, when she told me she wants to experiment with a dildo. We already play with feathers and blindfolding, but that’s about as far as we…

Majestic Saturdays doesn’t like Color

As gatekeepers to the illustrious Night & Day section, we have email inboxes that are assaulted with party flyers alllll day long. Some advertise nondescript functions that should never be discussed beyond a church bulletin board and others are cool as hell. But every once in a while we get…

The Ox Deserves a Party

If you thought the holiday revelry was over, let us remind you the Chinese haven’t had their time in the sun yet. January 26 is Chinese New Year, day one of the year of the earth ox. It’s your excuse to play an Asian-themed remix. You can totally celebrate at…

Smoke Weed Every Day

You might be able to look into our eyes and deduce we’ve just finished hitting the ol’ bong, but don’t mistake our chill demeanor for apathy. Our red-eyed intensity isn’t saved for the enforcement of “puff, puff, pass,” and we voted yes for the initiative “no stoner left behind.” Imagine…

Go Loco for Cocoa

You can have it drizzled onto ice cream or eat an entire block of it whole. Some say it will make you horny, but if your name is Charlie and you own the whole damn factory, we’re sure that myth has gotten old. Since most of us aren’t that lucky,…

Bowl with Zo

If we throw a ball down the aisle in our office, it would be called harassment. But if you do it this Thursday night at Lucky Strike Lanes during the fourth annual Zo’s “King Pin” Classic, you’ll be doing it for a good cause. You can rustle up a group…

Some Plants Are Edible

The Miami Beach Botanical Garden sits in a neighborhood where the indigenous greenery could easily be the kind you stuff in a pipe and smoke. Not that SoBe-ers don’t appreciate the nuances of nature’s beauty, but located a block from Lincoln Road and a short stroll to this season’s hottest…

Kitty Hisses at Fatal Attraction

Hello, Kitty: I fell in love and was intimate with an American guy overseas. He is 57 years old and divorced with two kids, and I am 46. He told me I’m a “special woman” and the best person he has ever met in his whole life. I am a…

Presidential Party Options. Celebrate 44 At Your Own Risk.

Today is historic. We know. The “h” word has been uttered over and over again since Barack Obama first announced that he was running for the U.S. Presidency. Today’s inauguration is a magical moment, a changing of the guard. But it also means that the nearly 2 years of political…

Go S.E.E. the Notorious One

Finally, the movie on Notorious B.I.G. hits theaters today and it seems that the anticipation for the film’s release is running high. Notorious actors have been hitting the talk show circuit, Lil’ Kim is up in arms about how she was portrayed, Diddy is being all dramatic on YouTube, and…

C’est Chic, Le Freak

Upper SoBe is alive with the sounds of music. Unfortunately for Julie Andrews, there’s no yodeling, but there’s plenty of house, electronic, dance, and hip-hop in the air. The latest destination is located on 23rd Street in a nondescript building that is home to an indoor/outdoor club experience vowing to…

Kitty Goes to the Dogs

Hello, Kitty: I am a 51-year-old housewife; my husband is the same age and I love him to death. But we rarely have sex. We just recently adopted a Japanese Akita from friends who were moving out of state, and he’s really a handful. He’s completely hyperactive and shows his…

Mask Your True Feelings

Some would say that to wear a mask on any day other than Halloween is the mark of eccentricity. Could you imagine walking into your boss’s office and see him sitting at his desk sporting a rubber interpretation of Dubya’s face? Or your mom baking a pie with a Zorro-inspired…
