Politically Correct Cupcakes

If the recent happenings on America’s Wall Street and Main Streets aren’t an indication of our nation’s need for change, we don’t know what is. Frankly, a country that is willing to give hundreds of billions of dollars to companies with bad business practices, yet throws its children into rundown,…

Cut to Be Cute (and for the Cure)

Obviously you don’t follow the centuries-old, every-six-week ritual of the hairdresser. If your bangs are in your eyes and your ends are headed for Divorce Court, it might be time for a haircut. Instead of visiting your local Hair Butchery, you can indulge your tresses in a considerably more luxe…

Magic City Kitty Meows About Baby Daddy Drama

Hello, Kitty: I started sleeping with a co-worker after a few too many beers at an office happy hour sent us into a long night of fucking. Though I hadn’t felt sparks before, we continued to sleep together for four months even though he was in a relationship. Things got…

Magic City Kitty – Cyber Sex Can’t Escape the WWW

Welcome the Ghost of Karu & Y

Miami’s nightclub afterlife is full of venues that OD’ed on liquor and drugs, committed suicide due to a lack of attention from fickle partygoers, or — even worse — were murdered by a team of bad management. As for the vampires who clutch high-priced beverages until the wee hours of…

LOL Straight to the Grove

You probably send hundreds of LOLs and LMAOs by text message every day, but the true question is: Are you thumbing away with a straight face, or are you really laughing out loud? Cell phone messaging has created a loss of intimacy when it comes to funny. Let’s face it…

Bend Over

The promise of spiritual enlightenment and a more relaxed state of mind wasn’t enough to woo you to a life of toting a foamy yoga mat under your arm three times a week. And when your yogi buddy said you’d have a stronger, leaner, more toned body if you would…

Hip-Hop a Deux

Nelly burst onto the scene in 2000, spitting nursery-rhyme-inspired raps that had hip-hop purists cringing in their fitted caps. But soon everyone was chanting “Down, down baby” as his first album debuted at number three on the Billboard charts, and it seemed like the St. Lunatic was gonna be in…

Fully Funkshional

If you told us you didn’t care about fashion, we wouldn’t believe you. Sure, Zac Posen’s latest couture collection might not tickle your fancy, and you might not particularly care about the Karl Lagerfeld teddy bear, but an appreciation of style doesn’t always have to lean toward the high-end. Your…

Magic City Kitty – Let Me In The Back Door!

Lift Every Voice and Sing!

Gas prices are sky-high, political crap is ruling the airwaves, and unemployment rates are at a point where Ph.D.s are applying for jobs at Mickey D’s. Although your first instinct might be to reach for the nearest bottle of liquor, you probably can’t afford it — so drown your sorrows…

Show Your Credit Card Some Love

You’ll gladly shop for a pair of shoes, a better deal, even for a potential mate, but when was the last time you headed to the mall to carry out a completely unselfish mission? And we don’t mean that trip to the dollar store for your co-worker’s Christmas gift. If…

Just BeKaws

It’s taken you almost 12 months to recover from last year’s Art Basel — the annual clusterfuck of exhibits, parties, and, let’s face it, more than a little pretentiousness. Pretty soon, though, our city will once again be abuzz with loads of artsy-fartsy types from all around the world. If…

It’s Chili in Here!

Decades before you could buy chili in an oversize can at the local Publix, women wearing rainbow hues walked the streets of San Antonio passing out the good stuff, bowl by bowl. The hearty meat stew kissed with the flavors of chili peppers, onions, garlic, and cumin made folks in…

Dancing Machines at Your Service

Each week, millions of dance lovers tuned in to America’s Best Dance Crew to watch groups of kids from across the nation pull off moves that would cause the normal human to break a hip or crack a kneecap. A beat would erupt from the speakers and it was on…

Magic City Kitty – Rub Deez Nuts

Hello, Kitty I go to the gym at least three times a week, but not for the cardio — my masseur gives me hourlong rubdowns that throw me into ecstasy that I definitely shouldn’t be experiencing in public. I am one of those guys who asks his date for a…

A New Brand of Cool

The grand entrance and Collins Avenue address might intimidate you during the day, but step into the Raleigh Hotel during the wee hours of the night and you’ll find a saccharine-sweet staff and the best croque-monsieur this side of the Seine. And guess what? You don’t even have to drop…

Prepare to Lose Your Breath

In our Internet-based culture, it can be difficult to get the family together around a heaping bowl of Hamburger Helper, let alone some actual physical activity. And when it is time for some action, your kids want to play basketball with their friends, not you. We can bet that your…

Flyer than the Rest

The minute you enter the realm of Aerobar, you’ll realize you ain’t in Kansas anymore, sweetie. With bright neon lights cascading across a gunmetal background, the club resembles a cooler-than-thou airport terminal that could house vessels built to take you to a place where rules don’t exist. And you’re right…
