Magic City Kitty: Poo-Poo Paranoia
Bar fights get messy because the participants are usually sloppy drunk, Friday Night Fights at the Seminole are messy because the fighters are hardcore. Tonight, watch Julio “the Kidd” Diaz and Victor Manuel Cayo get it on for twelve rounds. Click here for info. Bassist Diogo Brown gets electric at…
Hello, Kitty: I’ve been seeing a girl in Virginia who recently came to Miami for the weekend. She’s married but gives me the song and dance that she’s going to leave her husband because he’s boring, I’m fun, blah, blah, blah. Usually things are really cool between us, but this time,…
Magic City Kitty: Playboy Dummy
Committing murder usually results in arrest, sentencing, and a lifetime of trying to hold onto the fabled soap. But the Miami Beach Botanical Garden is putting the fun back into homicide with its Mystery on the Menu series. You won’t get any blood on your linen pants, but you might…
If the last time you ate at a buffet was in 1996 when you and your meemaw hit the Sizzler for platefuls of sliced meat, it might be time to revisit the idea of copious amounts of food laid out for your belly’s pleasure. And Thursday’s Share Our Strength Taste…
The Village People have made it so that we can’t go to our local purveyor of free fitness and (we hope) judgment-free locker-room sex without humming the legendary tune. Hell, we can’t even call a guy “macho” without repeating the word and tacking an elongated “maaaaaan” onto the end. So…
During club nights at chichi South Beach venues, ladies wear dresses that resemble sausage casings, fellas don bedazzled T-shirts, and everyone waits outside, hoping to be one of the chosen few. This seems even more ridiculous during summer than the rest of the year. Who wants to stand behind a…
Leonardo DiCaprio made it look easy when he painted Kate Winslet’s character in the buff on the doomed cruise ship the Titanic. But in real life, unless the setting is as intimate as theirs, things can get awkward when one person is nude and the other is gawking, fully dressed…
Whether taken or single, the dinner date can be a perilous affair if not done right. Go to Hooters, and you’ll be distracted/upstaged by the lovely boobies on display, the crew at Johnny Rockets will disrupt your dinner with some “Bob-bob-bob-bob-bobburran” bullshit, and Taco Bell – well let’s just say…
Hello, Kitty: I have been dating my co-worker for two and a half months. At first, it was supposed to be just as friends, but things ended up unexpectedly steamy. He is going through a separation, and I was there to console him. We ended up falling in love, and…
Magic City Kitty: Office Romance Takes Relationship from the Boardroom to the Bedroom
What would you do with ten cocktail ingredients and a bottle of Leblón cachaça? You could run out the door, booty in hand, and stock your minibar. Or you could stay at SushiSamba Dromo and enter the Ultimate Cocktail Contest. To win, you have to come up with an original,…
While other clubs come and go, SoBe’s Mansion is like that bottle of ketchup that’s been in your fridge for years — kinda old, not as red as when you bought it, but still delicious atop a mound of fries. In nightlife terms, the “fries” are Friday nights, and yes,…
This Sunday is the last day of “Convergence,” 50 glass, jewelry, and lamp-work art pieces based on the elements — air, fire, water, and earth. The International Society of Glass Beadmakers (ISGB) invited artisans from around the world to participate in this juried exhibition and to use materials such as…
If you’ve grown sick of pop culture’s irreverent fascination with prenuptial agreements and boulder-size engagement rings, let the cast of Married Alive refresh your faith in the institution of marriage. Telling the story of two couples, one newlywed and the other, er, oldywed, this rollicking stage show turns the reality…
Some commodes are strictly utilitarian, while others provide elaborate sets for your Broadway-worthy shit show. One such place is the powder room at Culture Kings, a Design District boutique that began calling the area home and selling cool, exclusive street wear way before big names such as Marni and Y-3…
No one will label you a heathen if you choose the wrong wine to pair with your lamb shank. But if you choose a red Bordeaux that makes the juicy meat sing — you could quite possibly be looked at as a savvy individual, well-versed on how to enjoy the culinary intricacies…
It was close to 1:45 and the Florida Room’s lights were dimmed to twice their usual glow. Having closed out the place more than a few times, I knew that it meant the club would soon close, but so early? Then from the corner of my eye, I see — a camera crew…
Hello, Kitty: I’m 28 years old and have been in a committed relationship with my boyfriend for close to three years. We’ve yet to shack up but have definitely been talking about marriage a lot lately. I would describe my feelings toward him as “love.” But I’d also call them…
