They say laughter is good exercise for the abs, but we haven’t yet found a chuckle that’ll transform our belly from a keg to a six-pack. What we do know is that a couple of hearty giggles are good medicine for the soul. And Friday night’s Comedy with a Purpose…
There are still a few days left before you take a bite of a turkey leg or dive elbow-deep into a bowl of stuffing, but nevertheless the holidays are here. Soon you’ll be unwinding coils of twinkle lights, chucking tinsel across a pine tree, and best of all, shopping. We…
Squeeze. Slather. And rub. Your skin is protected from the harmful rays of the sun, but could you parade around a stage wearing nothing more than a teeny-weeny bikini and a sun-born tan? We’re not mad at you for declining the offer, but thousands of girls apply to be Miss…
Trips to the bathroom would be boring without the possibility of running into one of our coke-sniffing co-workers doing a Lohan in one of the stalls. And these days, we don’t crowd around the water cooler to talk about the latest episode of Heroes; we wanna see if the boss…
In light of today’s housing woes, your architectural skills are in higher demand than ever. The kitchen walls must be large enough to accommodate portraits of Jesus, MLK, and Obama; the stairs must be sturdy enough to hold you and that monkey on your back; and the bedrooms need to…
Hello, Kitty: I’m a lesbian. My girlfriend was in the closet for the first eight years of our relationship. Then she came out a few months ago, and everything changed. Not only is she more openly affectionate with me, but also anytime we’re around other lesbians, she flirts like there’s…
The fog machine cranked up ’round midnight, and as the chill was brrrewng outside, it was warm and toasty inside of SushiSamba Dromo for the second anniversary of Cosplay. Dozens of folks came to gawk, but those who came to celebrate pulled out their best disguises and did this Harajuku-style…
“I do yoga and Pilates, and the room is full of hotties. So I’m checking out the bodies, and you know I’m satisfied,” rapped Her Madgesty on “American Life.” I can’t speak for downward doggies, but after just one 55 minute Signature Intense Cardio Circuit class at NOMI Pilates I…
’Tis the season for us to eschew the light grilled fare we associate with warm weather for foods that will warm us from the inside out. A few weeks ago, a cup of soup would have caused sweat beads to form on even the coolest forehead, but nowadays the dropping…
While everybody else waits around for Halloween to slap a coat of paint onto an otherwise mundane party life, revelers at SushiSamba Dromo have been doing it every Tuesday for the past two years. 600 Lincoln Rd. transforms into Tokyo’s Harajuku district, with Miamians dressed to the nines emulating both…
If you’re anything like us, you’ve learned how to cope in a shitty recession and your dollar bills are sporting some brand-new stretch marks. Throw day-old bread in the toaster and you have bakery-fresh goodness, and throwing those Vicky’s in the sink with some Woolite will certainly knock a few…
If you see a felt-covered table with six deep pockets, a set of colorful balls, and a pair of cue sticks, prepare to be hustled. Not that every billiards game played in smoky bars and musty basements across the country pits an undercover pro against a hapless amateur, but, uh,…
It’s certainly not news that our continual misuse of natural resources has put our planet in danger. We’ve all heard about sweating polar bears and football-field-size holes in the ozone, but learning the different ways to cure Mother Earth’s ills is a lesson we could all use. The Redland Evening…
We can extol the many virtues of spending an evening with Giant Step at the Delano’s Florida Room, but you’ve probably already heard the hype. And if you haven’t, here are the CliffsNotes: Once a month, new and established artists such as Janelle Monáe, Little Jackie, and Robin Thicke bring…
It’s been eons since man was forced to ride his steed to the general store, clippity-clopping down a dirt road and tipping his hat at the townsfolk. Now the only horses in the streets are under the hood of the modern dude’s Saab. And the tipping of the hat? Yeah,…
Whether or not you agree with the Fed’s strategy to bail out Wall Street, you must admire the charitable nature of the move. We could all stand to throw a few dollars to our fellow man, but with a few less zeros. Local group Hands On Miami gives back to…
We might not have mounds of coppery leaves and pumpkin patches to alert us to the arrival of fall, but we can count on Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Ramble-A-Garden Festival to let us know summer is finally over. And if anything is for sure, this 68-year-old fest is. It brings…
Hello, Kitty I’m a 48-year-old man with a wife, two kids, and a strong libido. My wife has lost interest in sex. It might have to do with the fact that I have been jobless two years, leaving her to support the family. But she also complains that I don’t…
It was close to noon yesterday when I began my trek to Miami Beach City Hall, eager to cast my vote in this loong, drawn out Presidential election. The walk was short, the weather cool, but exercising the right to elect my candidate of choice wasn’t quite as easy. As…
If you were important enough to have a movie written about your life, we doubt the script would include verbal gems such as “Eat the cake, Anna Mae.” Maybe “Swallow the biscuit, Jimmy Lee” or “Pick up those shoes, Kate.” But to have a line that culminates with the forcing…
After 21 long months of living room campaigning, the time has finally come for us to cast our ballots and decide the next president of the United States. Yeah, you might be sick of hearing amazing speech after incredible oratory after electrifying discourse from Obama. And even your John McCain/T-Rex…
From the dodge ball Olympics in grade school to the badminton game at your family reunion, your measly career in athletics has always been focused on winning. But you lost. So you figured that being best is for Tom Brady. And just your luck, each year the Beach Bums Golf…
