The day we have all been waiting for is here: the Basketball Wives Season Three reunion. To say this is our Christmas is an understatement. This third season has been a doozy with love, loss, furry, and fighting like we have never seen before. So we think it’s appropriate that…
Annie Vazquez guest blogs on fashion for Cultist. Visit her blog at TheFashionPoet.com.Shivon Ria-Michelle Acosta is the type of gal that walks into a room and makes heads swivel with her fashion ensembles.

Whether your art walk is a streetwalk, a gallery crawl, a booze fest, a Facebook photothon, a food night, a hustle, a graff run, or the precursor to a night on the town, it’s clear that at least one night a month Wynwood is a place to be. This month…
The quest for the next action hero has been on ever since the Terminator became the Governator. But glaringly absent from the parade of would-be heirs to the throne have been the old school breed of ass-kicker so many grew up with in the ’80s, the sword-wielding hero at the…

Maybe you’re thinking, wait a second I’ve already been to the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center to see several performances, what’s this poppycock about a grand opening in October. Don’t worry, nobody’s trying to pull a fast one. Sure, the center already hosted several shows, but those were part of…
Sketchy Miami is out for your face. This pen and paper project was launched earlier this year by Beached Miami, a website which self-describes as “Miami’s top independent culture blog.” To meet their goal of sketching every person in Miami, people are encouraged to send their photos to the site…
The Miami Book Fair continues its Chinese water torture-style of author announcements with ten more names released via their Twitter feed. As we reported last week, the first authors released included Colson Whitehead and Ghost World’s Daniel Clowes. The next batch of names include Booker Prize winners, TV personalities, and…
We’ve soured a bit on public art in this city. What with proliferation of Romero Britto and all manner of silly animals being idolized like heathen gods. We blame Chicago for the latter, after all it was the “Cows on Parade” exhibit that started this whole craziness. Well, it looks…
For any Basketball Wives fan out there, we think its safe to say that this was the best season yet. With the addition of Meeka Claxton, the love of Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada, and the general drama these ladies bring, it has been a very entertaining nine weeks. And…
There’s a new Bansky phone app, which provides an interactive map and profile of nearby Banksy street art. And while we don’t (officially) have any Banksy’s in Miami, if there was ever a town in need of a street art guide app, it’s the 305. Yes, there are occasional graffiti…
This past week, a 71-year-old man was arrested for spray-painting “SLA” (Sane, Liberated Americas) on hundreds of light posts. Why’d he do it? The Lord told him he was the 24th Elder of the SLA political party, positioned to take over the world once the economy flat-lines. But that’s besides…
Miami might be suffering through summer doldrums when it comes to its cultural offerings, but somebody forgot to tell that to a pair of photographers opening heavyweight exhibits in the next week. Joel Meyerowitz, the only photographer allowed to document the devastation of 9/11 immediately after the attacks, will display…
While some galleries are on vacation and others are busy gearing up for a slew of September openings, this weekend’s abridged version of the Second Saturday Art Walk beginning at 6 p.m. still has exhibits worth exploring. Offerings include a conceptual artist’s train station sign evoking travel and time, and…

People love to see other people’s households on TV. One we loved to watch? The Hogan Family. We all watched Hulk, Linda, Nick, and Brooke Hogan love and lose each other from about 2005 to 2007 on Hogan Knows Best. Once the family fell apart, apparently from Hulk having an…
The tech world is ablaze with rumors about Apple’s soon-to-be-unveiled iPhone 5. What kind of new features will it have? Will it be available in late September or early October? Will your battery be dead by 5 p.m. every day because all you do is play Words With Friends at…
“Where my money? I need, I need, I need cash!” Maybe Rick Ross wasn’t singing about the everyday grind of paying bills. But there once was a young Rick Ross, who struggled to find a way to balance his creative ambitions and cash flow. In “Everyday Hustlin’,” we talk with…
Admittedly, our gaydar at Cultist is not always what it should be. We still think Justin Bieber is straight, maybe even Charlie Crist. So we don’t mind admitting we were floored yesterday when we found out about a petition started by an Illinois resident to “allow” Bert and Ernie to…
Admit it: Having a portrait of yourself would be cool. But there’s almost no way to commission one without looking vain. Unless, of course, you’re supporting the local art scene. Local blog Beached Miami this Friday will host its second Sketchy Party, the live component of a project to create…
We know you love zombies. So do we. Which is why we’re mondo excited about the Promethean Theatre’s presentation of Song of the Living Dead: A Zombie Musical. (These are the same zany dramaturgs responsible for bringing Cannibal! The Musical and Evil Dead: The Musical to South Florida.) Song of…
In 30 Minutes or Less, Danny McBride and Nick Swardson play Dwayne and Travis, a duo of going-nowhere types who, on the advice of a stripper, decide to off Dwayne’s hard-ass, Lotto-winning ex-Marine of a dad and live off the inheritance. They need $100,000 up front for the hit man,…
