Magic City Kitty: I Don’t Care That She Has a Penis

Hello, Kitty: I’m a lesbian dating a woman who was born with both male and female parts. I learned about her “situation” after we’d been dating for two months. I’m not angry or upset — I’m falling in love with her. She says that she loves me too, but she…

Shop Till the Prices Drop

The toughest fashionistas won’t let a dirty word like “recession” get in the way of their shopping obsession/compulsion/addiction. And based on scientific data we’ve collected (our bank statements, the receipts balled up in our wallet, etc.), it seems buying less often isn’t an option — it’s all about buying smart…

Now Read This

It’s been 26 years since the Miami Book Fair International first hit our lil’ city, and since then it’s become one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. Though the preliminary excitement doesn’t quite match the all-out roars you hear leading up to drug and alkie-friendly WMC or…

Something Old, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Heirloom jewels may be something to scoff at when you’re turning Sweet 16 and want those shiny diamond studs from Tiffany & Co. But once you’ve matured and realized that there were beautiful pieces made before the Bling Bling Era, you’ll notice the value in a piece with a history…

Drive Me to the Moon

It’s damn near impossible to ignore the fact that there’s an above-average number of luxury cars lumbering through our palm-lined streets. While many American cities still gawk at Lex coupes, the Beemers, and the Benzes, those who can afford exquisite rides in our city are all about the rumble of…

Magic City Kitty: My Mom is a Facebook Lesbian

Hello, Kitty: After 34 years of being my mom, my lovely mother has become a lady-licking, full-blown lesbian. She and my dad divorced nearly ten years ago, but judging from the parade of guys who followed, I thought she was hetero. She and I aren’t close enough to discuss her…

Silver-Screen Surfing? Rad.

Even if you adore the feeling of having your feet planted firmly on the ground, riding a surfboard and allowing a wave to cradle you as you glide to shore is a sensation akin to flying. That is, flying with water spraying in your face and the threat of falling…

You’re Getting Verrry Sleeeepy

He’ll make you do things you don’t wanna. Things to which you always said, “Nuh-uh, I’m not gonna.” Agree to participate in his show and hypnotist Rich Guzzi will have you eating out of the palm of his hand. And quite possibly, literally. Calling himself “a cross between Tony Robbins…

Pop Goes the Easel

Ever consider pasting a Big Mac wrapper onto a canvas? Then you’ve pondered entering the artistic realm of pop art. The genre, defined by an artist’s use of images and physical items found in popular culture, is like candy: yummy, often colorful, and utterly indulgent when consumed in large doses…

Around Town This Weekend

Don’t call it a comeback, and rapper JT Money isn’t rising from the dead, but his last hit, “Who Dat,” was in 1999, and he’s back for Halloween weekend — so you can call it a resurrection. Jazz chanteuse Nicole Henry has returned from Russia (with love) and will be performing soulful…

Magic City Kitty: I Sexed My Straight Roommate

Hello, Kitty: My roommate and I had sex a few days ago, and now things are weird. I never knew he was into me, but we were drinking and the night went in a totally different direction than I expected. Now he barely makes eye contact, never speaks to me,…

This Party Is Soaking WET

Anytime a hotel opens in South Beach, it means there’s a new restaurant to fulfill your face-stuffing needs, a slew of new rooms to get wasted in, and a brand-new hot spot begging you to dance in it. The splashy arrival of the W Hotel was no different. Our little…

Hair Up to There

If you think your hair’s jaunty curl is avant-garde, the creations you’ll witness at Glynn Jackson’s Hairtopia will make you reconsider. Because unless you’ve ever had a toy helicopter launch from a crevice in your beehive, your hair is blasé, basic, and b-b-boring. Jackson has produced spectacles of hair fashion…

If We Build It, Will They Come?

Archie comic books made us fear the evil sandcastle-destroying bullies lurking on the beach. But when we finally made it to the fabled SoBe shore, the would-be brutes looked too sun-baked and hung over to kick rocks, let alone a sandy re-creation of our childhood home. Still, let’s hope the…

We Don’t Want Peace in This War

Style Wars. It’s a battle where clenched fists and gnashing teeth are replaced with sewing needles and, um, gnashing teeth (used for cutting thread and fabric at a breakneck pace). The fighting ground: Well, it’s more Macy’s than rolling fields covered in blood, but the pleasure and pain at Style…

Michael Jackson Doc This Is It Is Definitely It

Thanks to the round-the-clock coverage that the mainstream media gave Michael Jackson’s death and its aftermath, by now you’ve heard how he died and how he lived. All that was left was to see if the undisputed King of Pop still had what it took to live up to that…

Around Town This Weekend

The Fort Lauderdale Film Festival kicks off today with Black Dynamite, a new take on the always-entertaining blaxploitation genre. It’s gonna git you sucka! Brendan O’Hara and Komakozie of The Big Bounce are landing at Moonchine tonight for a one-off show that promises set after set of their uniquely dope music. The…

SuperNanny in Miami to Find Weirdo Families

Since swapping your wife will undoubtedly lead to your child taking faux rides in a foil balloon and one of your family members cutting one on Larry King Live, hiring a new millennium Mary Poppins may be a better way to make your foray into reality television. And you just may…
