With sixteen-dollar eyeliner pencils and $35 compacts, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how cosmetics became a multi-billion dollar industry, and no amount of “while supplies last” freebies can conpensate for a lifetime of extravagant spending at the makeup counter. So in an effort to square things…

It’s 7:00 p.m. What’s for dinner? Whaddya got? Herb and butter Rice-a-Roni? Ketchup with the crusty top? A can of tuna from a Hurricane Andrew survival kit? If you were an Iron Chef, someone would yell out “Allez cuisine!” and you would snap into action, concocting dishes like buttery rice…

As said in the white-hot movie Backdraft, “The funny thing about firemen is, night and day they are always firemen.” But this afternoon, ladies, a select group of South Florida firemen will be both firemen and luscious man-meat.

You’ve been breathing for years, routinely inhaling and exhaling like there’s no tomorrow. And you think that you’re doing it right, but sometimes your efforts end up coming out as a gasp or a pant — maybe because of too much puff, puff, pass. So today the people at True…

Night after night, they fight it out in the war over your hard-earned dollars, but today and tomorrow, April 15, the sexiest servers from some of South Beach’s most popular clubs, restaurants, bars, and hotels will be fighting a different kind of battle. This weekend is the third annual Beach…

When was the last time you got sexy? If it was somewhere around the time when Prince was wearing assless pants, it just might be time for you to knock the dust off your come-hither stare, and there’s this chick named Victoria who has the secret to doing just that…

In the late Nineties there was a musical movement called neo-soul that was characterized by gritty, conscious vocals laid over soul, R&B, or jazz tracks. And with this movement came a bunch of neo-soulsters and soulstresses who are now curiously absent, missing in action, candidates for a Behind the Music…

You call it blasphemy, the economy calls it “cha-ching!” And this month’s holiday/pyramid scheme is represented by snow-white bunnies and an endless hunt for pastel, hard-boiled eggs.

The skinny leg pant trend has left the building, and guess what’s on it’s way in? High-waisted, bell-bottomed pants a la Jan and Marcia Brady, which, FYI, are universally more flattering than the stovepipe cuts of last season. The revolving door of fashion trends slows for no one. One way…
