Although many women do not have a problem with facial hair on men, we have yet to find any men who really dig the Frida Kahlo look on the ladies. You may have tried to hide the beast with a few globs of Jolen Crème Bleach, but now you are…
The company’s name is a hybrid, with the original Maximum Dance still there, but the accent is definitely on the current artistic director’s work. The ever evolving Ballet Gamonet Maximum Dance returns to the Gusman Center with a trio of dances choreographed by Jimmy Gamonet De Los Heros — a…
Two thousand six has begun as a rainbow striped banner year for gay films. At the recent Golden Globes ceremony, Brokeback Mountain scored an incredible four awards, placing Ang Lee’s poignant cowboy love story in prime position for Oscar night. That’s great for the fellas, but what about ladies who…
As the Florida Panthers struggle to attain mediocrity, the New Jersey Devils are already there. Sorry. Hockey always makes us mean. In reality, both teams are on either side of .500, making this 7:30 p.m. stickfest attractive for its competitiveness. If you didn’t know that, you’re probably not a big…
Perhaps David and Marian Fairchild whiled away cherished weekend hours like this, admiring the lush scenery of their self created Eden over cups of sweet, milky tea and miniature pastries. Re create the elegant past and make dainty with afternoon tea at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Enjoy tea, scones, and…
El Escándalo Party is one dyke event where you won’t see any Birkenstocks. No flip flops or sandals allowed either, though we’re sure you can get in the door if your footwear is designed by Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo. Tight clothing and low cut outfits might get you past…
When the Museum of Contemporary Art raised its inaugural champagne toast during Miami’s leaner art years, few dreamed it would evolve into a consistent launch pad for homegrown talent or that it would come to bask in such far flung cultural impact. Locals Teresita Fernandez (who recently won a MacArthur…
Several weeks have passed since you did some soul searching and made those heartfelt resolutions, so isn’t it about time to begin living up to the standards you set for yourself? Although they might not be able to assist you with exercising or reading more, the American Red Cross of…
There’s certainly nothing wrong with a little rum or tequila, but for hard liquor with the kind of distinct character and subtle flavors most connoisseurs come to expect from fine wine, you gotta go for the grains. Look no further than Japanese sake. The fermented rice brew is a vital…
It seems promising that Miami Heat players are getting banged up now, halfway through the season. In the loss to the Lakers the other night, Jason Williams and Dwyane Wade both came up lame, especially bothersome to fans because these two have evolved into the NBA’s most formidable backcourt. Maybe…
Over the centuries, the legend of Tristram and Iseult has fueled the derring-do of King Arthur, aroused Richard Wagner’s operatic thunder, driven poets as diverse as Shakespeare, Tennyson, and Edwin Arlington Robinson to the heights of passion, and helped stock the back streets of Manhattan with companies of leaping Jets…
With the release of The White Countess, the much-honored Merchant Ivory canon is complete. Bombay-born producer Ismail Merchant died in May 2005 at age 68, and whatever direction his long-time collaborator and life-companion, director James Ivory, now chooses, the working partnership that gave us a dozen elegantly furnished period pieces…
This artful and brooding period piece follows John Wilmot (Johnny Depp), a scandalously debauched earl of the English Restoration who apparently was not in contact with feelings of compassion or sympathy. The film opens with an attack — “I am John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester, and I do…
Scrapping for a share of the market in the lingering shadow of Art Basel, Art Miami’s sixteenth installment left some exhibitors complaining the fair is against a wall and ready for a blindfold and a cigarette. Opening January 6 through 9, barely a month after the Swiss Godzilla Basel swallowed…
A Day and Forever: Ali Prosch makes a jaw-dropping statement with this multimedia exhibition sprinkled with witty doses of flair and drama that portray the lifestyles of the young and fabulously dissolute. Trafficking in hyperbeautiful imagery, at times evocatively laced with autobiographical commentary, Prosch blithely chops Miami’s decadent run-amok egos…
Michael McKeever is a raconteur of small miracles, dispelling the myth you can’t create a self-contained, highly nuanced world of performance in the space of two hours. Miami’s own prolific playwright can deliver walloping polemic, drawing-room comedy, and satire roiling in a stew of symbolism — usually in the course…
Thank God — a new play about Catholic priests that mentions neither pope nor pedophilia. South Florida Everyman playwright/actor Michael McKeever’s production is about miracles, which might raise eyebrows. Plays about miracles can veer into theological, epistemological debate and result in a wholly intellectual play that puts the matinee crowd…
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (Magnolia) The best two hours you’ll ever spend learning about accounting, Enron is one part civics lesson, one part Greek tragedy, and one part political cartoon. Director Alex Gibney makes no pretense of objectivity; he wants you to hiss and boo at Ken…
Movie-based videogames have a well-deserved reputation for sucking. Ever since Atari’s E.T. — a game so ill-conceived that thousands of unsold cartridges were dumped en masse in the desert, creating the crappiest buried treasure of all time — Hollywood tie-ins have bombed big-time. Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game…

Sure you can sit around and complain about politics and the news, but singing about it is so much more fun. At least that’s what Nancy Holson thought when she created The News in Revue: The Musical Scoop. The production began as an off Broadway show during the 1992 presidential…
The truth is as obvious as the blue tarped roofs that still dot the local landscape: Miami took a serious beating from Hurricane Wilma. Nobody knows it better than Lolo Reskin and Sara Yousuf, the cool chicks who own Sweat Records. Their store had become a bastion of everything indie…
