My Scarf Is Bigger Than Yours

You started out braiding zigzag declarations of love called friendship bracelets, the addictive wrist confection and, color-wise, the only competitor Lisa Frank unicorns ever had.

Get Your Own Work of Art into Basel

Being one of the premiere art festivals of the year, not just any Joe Blow can show during Art Basel. You’d need connections, talent, or…a pack of markers, a glue gun, and some stray sequins. This year, the Scope Art Show has opened up their grand ol’ doors to the…

Magic City Kitty: Should I Just Get a Prostitute?

Hello, Kitty: I’ve been single for close to three years, and even though I hook up with girls, I’m still sexually unfulfilled. Not that I want something more consistent, it’s just that the girls I find aren’t open to doing the things I want to do. It seems like they…

Around Town this Weekend

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Go to match.com to find your mate and then go to the Antique Jewelry show to pick up the old, borrowed, and blue. Pauly Shore can’t help it if he reminds you of the ’90s. Take your time machine (the metrorail) to…
