“I’m on a boat, bitch,” wasn’t exactly the first thing one might have expected to hear when approaching the dock of a 40-million-dollar yacht as it hosts the fourth edition of the Miami International Art Fair — but yeah, that happened.Attendees were obviously excited (some more poised than others) to…

Life as a children’s entertainer is probably pretty tough. Imagine being an adult, constantly engaging in coochie-coo, baby-waby talk, dealing with annoying snot-stained brats who aren’t even your own children, and, perhaps worst of all, having to smile all the time.These characters are held to a higher standard than say,…

It’s no secret that Florida is weird. Many a journalist, politician, reality TV watcher, and even your average Fark browser can attest to the fact that we’re the weirdest state out of all 50. And while lots of bizarre crap goes down in South Florida (causeway face-eaters, anyone?), we’d argue…
Selena Gomez is making all kinds of news lately. First, she announced her recovery from Bieber Fever by splitting with America’s favorite Canadian.

Latex, birdcages, nude bodies, eggs, holy water. No, it’s not a list of items used in some bizarre demon-summoning ritual. They’re just a few of the props used by the artists in last year’s Miami Performance International Festival, curated by Edge Zones. Now in its second year, MPIF has artists…
