We live in a huge melting pot of a city, and our cultural, political, and religious souls thank us for it every day. But maybe our BlackBerries don’t, because your rainbow coalition of friends means hundreds of virtual red ribbons tied around your fingers in an effort to remember each…
Excuse us while we take a break from the current programming to bring you an über-cool party. The spot is The Vagabond, and each Friday the cool kids hang out and party to the sound of music from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. There’s indie, rock, soul, and anything else…
It’s hard to extol the benefits of smoking, with the attorney general screaming at you from warning labels, and cities across the country turning into puff-free zones. But we also can’t fight the fact that humans have been lighting up for centuries — and liking it. You might turn up…
Hello, Kitty I believe I have experienced my first true ‘Love/Hate’ relationship. I met this guy almost 5 years ago and in the beginning it was all good. He was nice and thoughtful, and we spent a lot of time together. I would go over to his house and stay…
Any guys (or gals, for that matter) who list babe-watching as a hobby should bring their binoculars to Nikki Beach (1 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach) today, because the chic beach club will be overflowing with swimwear-clad cuties of all shapes and sizes. We know, it’s always like that, but today…
The first time you saw her, your eyes traveled from her perfectly coiffed shock of platinum-blond hair to those famous brown bedroom peepers, down to her even more notorious lips, and along all of those curves. From just a glance, you figured her heart belonged to Daddy and that diamonds…
Take a ride along Biscayne Boulevard or Miracle Mile and you can’t miss the new-age Americana floating past your window. Hip-pop music blares from tinny speakers, crushed Big Mac boxes speckle the sidewalk, and garish tabloid magazines roll in the street like tumbleweeds. Is this what historians from the year…
For years, ecologists had been saying we were forcing our planet into a crisis, but not until our fave VP Al Gore presented us with (and won an Oscar for) An Inconvenient Truth did we actually listen. Now that winters are warm and summers scorching, we’re finally realizing why Mother…
If you think playing cameraman at a six-year-old’s sugar-saturated birthday party is difficult, try racing around South Beach pointing, shooting, and clicking in pursuit of cash and prizes. Although you might spend today doing the former, scores of amateur and professional photographers will be doing the more adventurous latter for…
You enter the stadium-like theater as the previews roll and “’scuse me, ’scuse me, ’scuse me” your way across the sticky floor, only to park your keister in a seat full of nacho cheese. You bought a $15 ticket, $9 glorified Orville Redenbacher munchies, and a $6 bucket of watery…
Hello, Kitty My girl complains about my body hair, saying that I need to wax and/or shave my chest and pubic area – but the vision of Steve Carell getting waxed in that movie has me thinking that it’s not worth the pain. My hairy bod has never bothered me,…
Hello, Kitty I was propositioned in a bar last night, but I’m not clear on what it is I was asked to do. I’m generally open to the kink, but I would like to know what I’m getting myself into before I call this guy. I’m kind of embarrassed to…
The constant crick in your neck, the way the color of your toenails has begun to blend in with your skin, and the layer of ashen dermis on your face — all are signs it’s time to give your body a little attention. Unfortunately your job doesn’t pay you enough…
Figuring out the sly secret behind Mona Lisa’s smile has perplexed you, us, and everyone else in the art world. If she were a 2008 girl, she would have figured out where to buy a $1.02 gallon of gas. But if you’re looking to solve new, equally fascinating mysteries created…
Before today, you thought the stairs leading up to your garden apartment, the two flights at the office, and even those three steps standing between you and the ATM were created for the sole purpose of tormenting you. Not that they were getting you to the next level or giving…
It’s time to nix your weekly trip to Wal-Mart and your couch-side appointment with Mr. Back/ass-scratcher to indulge in a more dignified pastime. Today at 4, the sophisticated folks at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida are embracing the Miami tradition of infusing Old World customs with Latin flair for…
The fighters in tonight’s Broker Boxing match have been training for months — flipping through papers, conducting marathon open houses, and putting “Beautiful 2BR, Spacious Balcony” ads all over the place. We’ll see if it has worked tonight at 6, when high-profile Miami real estate types such as Thomas Kramer,…
Hello, Kitty I have a problem – well, I’ve been told that I have a problem. My friends think that I may be obsessed with strippers, and this isn’t the first time I’ve heard it. To be honest, I don’t really care what anyone thinks because I’m not willing to…
Hello, Kitty Every week, a couple of friends and I get together for game night, which is basically 5 of us drinking wine, playing Clue (next week Jenga!), talking, and laughing like idiots. The last time we got together, the guy hosting the party and his girlfriend got into a…
Ahhh, grapes. Who would have guessed that a fruit no bigger than your big toe could bring the world so much joy? Kids love the refreshing taste of its juice poured over ice, and adults love the fruit when barrels of it are sprinkled with yeast and fermented to perfection…
All day you’ve put your brain to task solving problems, filing papers, making copies — and except for that personal call around noon, you’ve been a darn good employee. Now it’s quitting time and we say you deserve to let your hair down and imbibe in a setting that is…
Your girls’-nights-in have been fun, but it’s time for you and your collective of fierce females to take a night out. And this time you won’t need to rustle up dollars for Vince Black and Sage at Goldfellas. Tonight support another group of women by showing up at the SWAN…
