If we can’t laugh at ourselves and all our Miami-centric absurdities, we’ve become the pretentious a-holes the rest of the country already thinks we are. And it’s with this philosophy that we should all embrace the satirical writings of local author and occasional Cultist contributor J.J. Colagrande. His second novel,…
“What went wrong with ZMBLND?” begins organizer Marc Lissade’s apology to participants. “I failed and I take full responsibility for the event shortcomings.” The zombie-themed 5K set to take place Saturday at Amelia Earhart Park promised a mud run with obstacles, finishing with medals and t-shirts. Approximately 1,500 people showed…
We think it’s safe to say that Real Housewives of Miami is finally starting to heat up. On last night’s special Sunday edition, there were cocktails, violence, and nip slips — oh my! What more could you ask from a Real Housewives franchise? (Not much.)We mean, even Lady Gaga was tweeting…
The Internet exists for two reasons: puppies and porn. When it comes right down to it, at least 80 percent of the stuff clogging “the tubes” is either a furry face that belongs on Cute Overload, or at least partially naked people designed to give you dirty thoughts.See also:- Save…
Art Basel is less than two months away, and the 2012 edition is on course to turn Miami into a living museum of publicly accessible art. In what may be the wildest installation of the year, Lords South Beach hotel will be turning into a massive, macabre pet. The LGBT…
If your weekend was anything like ours, you saw more Honey Boo Boos, sexy (fill in the blanks) and binders full of women than you’ll ever forget — even after a copious number of Halloween-themed jello shots. And it ain’t over. Damn that Halloween coming mid-week; it requires at least…
In the final weeks of one of the dirtiest presidential campaigns we’ve ever seen, it’s hard not to ask yourself, “Why can’t we all just get along?” But in Miami, one group of women is proving that hard conversations don’t have to be mud-slinging contests, and that talking politics and…
When brainstorming ideal haunted house locations, one of the last places you’d think of is Super Wheels (or Hot Wheels, as Miami natives in our 30s know it). And we have to admit that when we were given the assignment to review the Halls of Terror at Super Wheels, we…
As hard to believe as it might be, growing up I was a big ol’ scaredy cat. I have vivid memories of hiding under the comforter of my parents’ bed with my brother as they let us half-watch A Nightmare on Elm Street. They were trying to be cool parents…
We want to begin with a big shout out to Lisa Hochstein. Real Housewives of Miami episode seven began with her explaining what exactly the Susan G. Komen foundation is. Not exactly necessary, because we’ve all spent the past month inundated with pink ribbons, pink sports gear, the pink sign…
It’s that time of year again, y’all. The season when cool nights replace sticky and muggy… well, everything. The time when children dress up as their favorite fantasy character, and adults enable them. This is the weekend that children will consume more sugar and calories from fat from strangers than…
Around the four-minute mark of my first viewing of the Cloud Atlas trailer, as the M83 track swelled to its bursting point and a hoverbike darted through future-Korea, I remember e-mailing and GChatting at least a dozen friends with a link to the preview and my take: “Holy Sh*t.” Naturally,…
Just like your average man is into Victoria’s Secret swimsuit models and Monday Night Football, most women go wild for adorable animals and shirtless hunks. What can we say? Sometimes, stereotypes exist for a reason. See also: – How to Snag a Firefighter: Straight From a Hero’s Mouth – Project…
One of the best things about TEDxMIA is that along with the ideas, the TEDx concept is spreading across the city. Now there’s a TEDxFIU, TEDxCoconutGrove, even a TEDxYOUTH@MIAMI hosted by Cushman School geared towards spreading powerful ideas to Miami’s children. And while the blossoming of TEDx discussions across Miami…
With upwards of fifty individual artists, artist collaboratives, performance ensembles, dancers, musicians and writers, this year’s dynamic lineup at the Art Live Fair promises a three-day immersion into the creative process fairgoers will long remember. Beginning Friday at 5:30 p.m. and running through Sunday at the Coconut Grove Convention Center…
During Art Basel week in Miami each year, one exhibit or art project is so eye-catching, so intriguing, or so visible that it becomes emblematic of that year’s cultural festivities. Think Miru Kim’s naked stint in a Primary Projects pigsty in 2011, or the giant pink snails of 2010.In 2012,…
Nothing is spookier than a flock of hipsters wearing ironic costumes, and anyway, Nicole McCauley says, the South Beach scene is dying. This year’s big, fun events are moving back west, over Biscayne Bay, to the home of the Miami hipster, Wynwood. What a perfect place to throw a Halloween…
Studio Acconci, the architecture and design firm run by 72-year-old New York designer and artist Vito Acconci, was named last night as Design Miami’s Designer of the Year for its 2012 edition coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach in December.See also:- Design Miami 2012 Visitors Will Enter Beneath a Giant…
Miamians tend to be a bit jaded when it comes to Halloween, perhaps due in part to the fact that we see so many sexy cops, sexy nurses, sexy witches, and, well, just plain sex all year round. The Festival of Souls at Gulfstream Park is the perfect place to…
