A little lesson in recessionomics: Why pay $250 for a bottle of Absolut at a South Beach nightclub when you can pay $27 at your corner liquor store? Miami’s bottle service business model has gotten way out of hand, but it seems only with the recent financial turmoil that we’ve…
When Kath & Kim debuted, we were pretty sure the show was set in South Florida. There was talk of driving on I-95 and Gloria Estefan Boulevard, and a deal was in the works to include the Marlins in an episode, but by the end of the season, the characters were talking…
Something tells us that if Shaquille “Kobe, Tell Me How my Ass Taste” O’Neal has heard of Liberty City flea market rapper Geisha, he’s a fan. It’s Friday morning, as good a time as any to post the new ditty that has all the kids singing along… about arching up…
This Saturday, May 2, at 5 p.m., the guys over at Miami World Cinema Center (450 NW 28th St., Miami) will host their good friends from the Borscht Film Festival for a meet-and-greet, and if you’re a local filmmaker, want to be a local filmmaker, or just want to date…
The Scholl exhibit at FIU’s art museum is something even kids love
John Waters Brings His Filthy World to MGLFF
How long does it take Sasha to get fierce in this almost-tongue-in-cheek Fatal Attraction retread? Too long — and even after Beyoncé Knowles (who executive-produced, as did her daddy) delivers the promising line “I’ll show you crazy!” to Lisa (Ali Larter), the predatory temp who’s been messing with her asset-manager…
Magic City Kitty: Dating on a Budget

Typical surfboard art might range from tiger stripes to spray-painted rock ’n’ roll hand signs, but the work on display this Tuesday at the World Erotic Art Museum will change what you think hanging ten is all about. Controversial artist Gregory de la Haba — whose sculptural installation of taxidermic…
Look at that face to the right there. Just look at it. Don’t you wanna punch it? And don’t even try to harp on how that face was right about steroids and yadda, yadda, yadda. We, for some unfathomable reason, read most of the second book written by that face…
It’s tough to be under 21 in Miami and have fun if you’re not a fake ID-slinging club rat. What are your options? Go to the movies? Drive around the Grove? Sit in a park? Luckily, the hip hop community in Miami is starting to do something about that by…
Fun and sun draw many national events to Miami, but none quite like this one. This Wednesday marks the beginning of the tenth annual Aqua Girl, the nation’s largest nonprofit lesbian festival (not the DC Comics superheroine). This year’s weeklong extravaganza will feature a litany of ladies-only events: dance parties,…
Since there’s only one rail line in Miami and practically no one uses it, local graffiti artists are forced to be a bit more creative when choosing canvases for their work. From the dumpster in Fox’s parking lot (anyone else notice those droopy hearts all over the city?) to the…
We could quite easily plug Unwigged and Unplugged, featuring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, but perhaps it’s better to turn it over to Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel: “Yes, hello? Is this microphone turned up to 11? I rather like Miami. I remember when we played the Marine Stadium…
With the economy in the toilet and job loss rates at an all-time high, your hometown Florida Marlins seem to be perfectly built for our times. The Marlins have the lowest payroll in all of Major League Baseball yet are off to the best start in the entire league. Their…
During the four years of Khmer Rouge’s horrific reign of terror, 1.5 million civilian deaths overshadowed the rise of Cambodia’s rollicking and unique music scene. Developed before the Communist movement began its destruction, the genre — a mashup of Eastern flavors and our very own rock ’n’ roll — is…
Christmas Eve 1874. The young composer Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky rushes over to the Moscow Conservatory to play his first masterpiece in front of his mentor, Nikolai Rubinstein. Tchaikovsky plays the Piano Concerto No. 1 all the way through, and Rubinstein, after a long, agonizing silence, responds that the piece is…
People have spun tall tales of love and adventure since the beginning of time. Prior to history books and the World Wide Web, storytelling was the only means to learn of our past selves and keep cultural traditions thriving. Sure, the stories were a bit embellished and fashioned so that…
“Rappers playin’ checkers, while poets scream checkmate. Our brain so heavy, if we took and put it in their head, their necks will break.” That’s official, new, unreleased material from Miami’s own Will Da Real One, and yes, it will sound better live than it looks on paper. That’s because…
South of downtown has the Calle Ocho Festival. North of downtown has Cinco de MiMo. Beginning his Saturday morning at 10, the stretch of Biscayne Boulevard between 67th and 77th streets will transform into a fiesta featuring live music, gourmet food, street performers, antique cars, face-painting for kids, and vintage…
The fashion circle of life begins with a designer creating a sketch and ends with works of wearable art, composed for special occasions or everyday use.
