As the new school year draws near, we find ourselves looking for more distractions from Miami’s impending traffic increases and irrepressible heat. Summer will stay with us in the form of perpetually peeling sunburns, but we can only enjoy afternoon trips to the beach for so much longer. (It’s likely…
So it’s dirty confession time. For as much as every superhero movie geek creams in their pants over him, I really can’t stand Christian Bale as Batman. That raspy voice that is one part Suzanne Pleshette, one part strained vocal chords completely drives me crazy. He annoys me so much…
As part of a state-wide search for the most beautiful painted ladies in Florida, Sailor Jerry rum and Inked Magazine held a casting call last evening at Sandbar Sports Grill in Coconut Grove. Fort Lauderdale had a similar event last week. Next up: Key West.Dozens of tattooed beauties came out…
While some top tier Wynwood galleries will be closed this Saturday in preparation for the season launch in September, this month’s edition of the Wynwood Art Walk promises to be less crowded and there are still plenty of fresh opportunities to scope out some provocative art on our radar. Among…
Miami’s Vice City Rollers are a force to be reckoned with. In their inaugural season, the 305’s one and only all-female Flat Track Roller Derby team, have been skating hard and giving it all they’ve got. While it’s been a less than stellar first season for the girls (they haven’t…
If I say Juicy Couture, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Most likely a pink velour tracksuit with a logo strewn across the rear. A lazy Sunday outfit that, overnight, infiltrated daily dressing in a way that forever soured our taste for tracksuits. And, oh, what incarnations that…
Holy August, is that you? Hard to believe that it’s been six days already since the eighth month of the year crept in and dumped a bucket of humidity on South Florida. Come to think of it, time really does fly when you’re stuck at an office desk for the…
Read also: “100 Creatives: Anthony Spinello,” “Anthony Spinello Opens New Space With Three Solo Shows,” and “Kulturpark Project Revives a Forgotten European Wonderland.”Calling Anthony Spinello a nomad is an understatement. Since he burst on the local scene at the helm of the now defunct Liquid Blue Gallery at the ripe…
We haven’t seen hide nor hair of 90s cheeseball band The Backstreet Boys since Nick Carter’s turn on “Dr. Phil” — and frankly, we’ve liked it that way. But apparently A.J. (the weird goateed one) is making a solo comeback – all in support of Miami’s hacker community. Check out…
What does a species more than 400 million years old have in common with a pair of espadrilles? Not a whole lot — until TOMS and University of Miami’s RJ Dunlap Marine Conservation Program decided to team up and protect marine life in style and comfort.Days before the national frenzy…

The Bahamas: You’ve seen the billboards on I-95 and you’ve seen the commercials. But have you visited the island nation that lies only about 60 miles from South Florida’s coast? Most people think of Nassau/Paradise Island when they think of the Bahamas, but the country actually consists of over 3,000…
Local comics converge on Lester’s once every month to test their new material in an intimate environment. But that doesn’t mean they’re all holding hands and singing Kumbaya. There’s plenty of edge to homegrown talent like regulars Dominic Perenzin, Forrest Shaw, and host Irene Morales. Wed., Aug. 8, 8 p.m.,…
A dead bird’s stomach riddled with plastic pellets — not a pretty picture. But that’s the devastating effect plastic waste has on our ecosystem, and Florida is doing a dismal job of combating the issue. We generate almost two tons of municipal solid waste per resident per year. And collectively,…
