The centerpiece of Sam Trioli’s outdoor pop-up art exhibit in Wynwood might look like a wood pile, but in reality it is… well, a wood pile.”When you see a wood pile you see pure function,” Trioli explained. “It is also a very temporary structure. You build a wood pile and…

Often, a movie’s title tells us everything we need to know. Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hoover, and Edward Scissorhands are all aptly titled flicks that deliver what their monikers promise. But for every Psycho or Outbreak, there’s a film that hides its true subject matter behind a clever, ironic…
We’re deep in the midst of New York Fashion Week, with every clothes-minded girl we know posting runway shots on Facebook. It all has us craving something a little more low-key. Enter Our Prince of Peace designer David Jon Acosta and his wearable, fun, and Miami-inspired collection. We caught up…
If you’re anything like us, you ‘re preparing to confront Feb. 14 with indignation and marking it “Anna Howard Shaw Day” on your calendar. Maybe you lack any significant romantic relationship in your life, in which case you don’t need a national holiday to remind you that you’ll probably die…
I used to think living in Miami was hard. It’s pretty tough dealing with the traffic, the heat, and the chulos psst-psst-ing at you when you’re just trying to walking down the street in peace. But I was wrong. Living in the 305 is easy in comparison to the Big…
Goddamn the early 20th century and its irresponsible demand for luxurious fur. Thanks to the old-timey 1%, the cheetah population across Asia and Africa has dwindled down to remarkably low levels. Among those working to restore those numbers is the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre in South Africa, a leading research…
There’s no arguing that our robust art scene is growing to year-round proportions. Consider the new Art Wynwood, opening President’s Day weekend (Feb. 16 through 20) and boasting more than 50 galleries representing 13 countries from around the globe. Its organizers have packed the fair’s roster with a dozen Miami…
Hallmark’s biggest scam holiday is next week. Because Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year, some couples will celebrate Día de los Enamorados over the weekend by dinning at fancy restaurants, having sex in public, and pouring thousands of dollars into the private helicopter charter industry. But what about…
We don’t mean “prince,” as in “heir to the throne.” (Though that would be awesome — imagine how the game would be played under NFL Commissioner Ochocinco.) We mean Prince, as in “Party Like It’s 1999,” Purple Rain, and that un-pronounceable symbol that earned him so much ridicule back in…
When I first moved to Miami, I wanted to meet and greet everything that Miami had to offer: the clubs, the beaches, the hot Latin men needing green cards. So on my first night out, with my Massachusetts fake ID in hand, I went to a drag show. What I…

Look, we’re gonna tell it like it is right off the bat: The best relationship-ending gift is herpes. Though it will rid you of your annoying significant other, it begins another lifelong, kinky ménage à trios between you, your pharmacist, and a science project called Valtrex™. With only mild side-effects…
Queen Latifah — entertainment mogul, young Oprah, and all-around bad mothereffer — has long been a fan of Miami. She records her music at a studio in Doral, has an entire album produced by North Miami’s own Cool & Dre, and has been here so many times for both business…
You can stop holding your breath, Miami. Our Real Housewives franchise is safe and sound.According to Hollywood Reporter, Bravo will give the show a second chance, despite its unimpressive ratings last season. And as the network tries to pump up the show’s lackluster viewership, there are plenty of changes in…

A day of love, of chocolates, of roses and sonnets and cheating girlfriends.Wait, what?Cheaterville Inc. a social media company that lets users post information about alleged cheaters, released some downright depressing statistics this morning, just in time to screw up everyone’s V-Day romance. Among the revelations: Of…
Everyone has that one great aunt who talks about the characters from her “stories” like she knows them personally. We used to think it was kinda sad. But lately, several returning TV shows have us craving a deeper connection with the people we see on the screen.Yes, we’re talking about…
When you live in Miami, taking pride in your city can be a slippery slope. First, we just bragged to all our friends up north about cruising around with our “boat friends” in January. But now, we love everything about this place, including the notoriously crazy crimes that take place…
They say money can’t buy love. But “they” are obviously not from Miami, the “filthy rich old men driving around with 22-year-old wannabe supermodels sitting in the passenger seats of their red Ferraris” capital of the world. Let’s put the anti-Hallmark bullshit aside and be frank: Valentine’s Day is all…
