The Miami arts community is indebted to the Knight Foundation for funding almost every single cultural project in this city. But still, it’s a little scary when all the mula comes one from one pocket, right? What happens when there’s nothing but lint and stale Cheetos in said pocket? Cue…
Hot or Not: Wearing Steve Buscemi’s Face as a Dress
We’re going to be bold and admit that we have no idea what to wear to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim this weekend. It recently occurred to us that our wardrobe compiled from the best of the clearance rack at Target may be unsuitable for an industry fashion event. It…
Five Sweatiest Scenes in Movie History
God damn it’s hot. So hot that the big guy upstairs doesn’t mind us using blasphemy to describe the weather lately — he’s even been going around Miami saying “how bout that heat” lately. And it’s that Miami hot. That utterly uncomfortable sticky kinda heat that can only be compared…
Cock Blocking and Other Reasons Why Google+ Fails as a Social Network
It was with eager anticipation last week that Google quietly rolled out its new Google+ social network.

Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari Joke-Interview Each Other, Sort Of
Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari make us nervous. We can’t keep our mouths shut before they enter the room at the Fontainebleau, but once they’re in there, we get shy. The two actors are visiting Miami to promote their upcoming movie, 30 Minutes or Less, which is due out this August…
Graffiti Gone Global’s “The Pop Up” Redfines Street Art
Speed and efficiency have always been components of graffiti that shaped the art form — artists frequently risked vandalism charges, so it was critical that murals be painted as quickly as possible during fly-by-night operations. That led to some of the key elements of graffiti such as long lines and…
Ashley From a Tribe Called Fresh
Fashion Breakdown: Top and skirt is her own design for Noble Experiment, shoes by Yves Saint Laurent, “naked lady” earring from a boutique on South Beach (“she’s my alter ego”), watch is vintage Rolex, ring by Chanel, necklace from the Maasai Tribe, and bracelets from Nepal both bought at the…

Want to Punch Octomom? Nadya Suleman to Box in South Florida
What is it about Florida and fucked-up moms? We either produce them, like once-alleged baby-killer Casey Anthony (not guilty our ass!), or we recruit them, like Nadya “Octomom” Suleman, also known as the human vagina with child. That’s right. She’s coming to town. Not sure about her brood, though.Turns out…
Broward’s Stage Door Theatre Taking Over the Byron Carlyle
Those who grew up in the Magic City in the ’70s and ’80s may remember the Byron Carlyle Theatre as the place to be to catch the latest flicks and blockbuster movies. That’s right, kids. Before all your fancy 500-screen theaters with your surround sound and $80-a-ticket IMAX 3-D multiplexes,…
Camping Out for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Premiere in NYC (Photos)
We admit it. We’re nerds. We camped out for the New York premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last night. It was hot. We were cranky. But it was awesome. There were a good 200 people, sleeping in shifts to watch everyone’s things. We met fans…

Pia Toscano, Elsa Patton and Three Other Celebrities We’d Like to See on Man vs. Wild
Jake Gyllenhaal was on Man vs. Wild last night. He offered to skin a rotten sheep carcass so that he and Bear Grylls, the host of MvW, could use the sheep’s wool for warmth. He also took off his clothes before wading through water for bigger ratings to keep his clothes…
Notorious Serial Killers and the Notorious Horror Flicks They Inspired
Serial killers are fascinating. As sick, twisted, and depraved as that might sound, it intrigues us that a human being could ravage another without remorse, allowing the victim to take a final breath before the killer’s very eyes — and actually enjoy it. We see it in our favorite horror…

Basketball Wives Episode 6: Shopping for Dildos and Booking Vacations
If we could be anything in the world, we would be a basketball wife. Based on last night’s episode of Basketball Wives, it kind of feels like all they do is walk down Lincoln Road, chill at each other’s apartments, guzzle wine, and wear earrings that we have only seen…
Feel What It’s Like to Be a Woman in See Jane Run at Actors’ Playhouse
Hey, dudes, ever wonder what it’s like to be a woman? Sure you can put on heels, a skirt, and a bit of blush, but then you’re just a man in women’s clothing. Living as a woman is a different tale, one that involves an intricate number of things from…

New York Times Premieres Xavier Cha’s De La Cruz Performance

Five Quintessentially Hipster Films Deconstructed
Trying to define “hipster film” is not really hipster. It goes against the independent subcultures that hipsters proclaim to inhabit. It’s like, whatever, suit. Fuck off, what do you know? However, hipsters are everywhere, including the mainstream. America’s socio-economic structure is shifting. We are evolving. Black presidents. Gay marriages. The…
