Some couples can’t agree on anything. Who will pick up the kid from day care? Who will throw out the trash? Who will scoop up the dog poop? Who will decide who decides? Frances Trombly and Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova are both prolific Miami artists who happen to be married. They have…
Stocks are a risky business, as is street racing. In the blink of an eye, everything can take a Dale Earnhardt-turn-for-the-worst and come crashing down like a Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme. However, street racing on the small screen (sprinkled with telenovella plot twists and staring a former Southern Methodist University…
In Super, which opens this weekend, when a local crime boss (Kevin Bacon) lures away his wife (Liv Tyler), lifelong pushover Frank (Rainn Wilson)–under the influence of a bizarre Christian kids’ TV show and a sci-fi-style encounter with something like God–starts to make himself over into a real-life superhero. On…

Come this Wednesday you may be inclined to put on your snappiest black-light friendly Snuggie, dim the lights, softly play Bob Marley’s Legend, and eat Funyuns wrapped inside of Fruit Roll-ups with a side of pickles and Mountain Dew. Or if you’re a less festive pot head, you may have…
View photos from Miami Beach Gay Pride 2011 here.The Third Annual Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade took place this past Saturday and for each of the past three years the parade has begged the question – why did it take so long to start?Even much smaller Florida cities like St…
Everyone’s life is so rich with tales, some boring, others outrageous. But sometimes we feel like we don’t have the tools tell them, and so our memories become jumbled. And our hands won’t write. Frustration prevails.Maybe you’ve given up all hope on writing your story, or maybe you have a…

Let’s preface this whole thing by saying that I’m not accustomed to attending performances in Miami where a significant percentage of female audience members are wearing fur coats. That said, I imagine that for other opera novices, Don Giovanni is a good one to cut your teeth on. It’s got…
Oh, we love funny lesbians. Ellen DeGeneres, Lily Tomlin, Bea Arthur — no wait, Maude wasn’t a lesbian. Either way, you get the picture: Sapphic sweethearts can be pretty damn funny. And this fact was proven true yet again at the Lezberados show last night.Funny gals Mimi Gonzalez and Sandra…
We were shocked to find out the Miami Heat are recycling their White Hot Heat theme going into the 2011 playoffs. Sure, it worked in 2006 and helped get us our first NBA title, but that was five years ago. This is a new team. A legitimate juggernaut. The team…
Hell yeah! It’s April 15, that means it’s the last day to file your taxes before the IRS comes knocking on your door and takes your first-born.Even with Uncle Sam bearing down on us, most Americans actually look forward to doing there taxes because it means one thing: tax refund!…
Beauty pageants attract controversy like their contestants flock to tiaras. Just this week all of England was in an uproar about a Muslim woman vying to represent Britain in the Miss Universe competition. Don’t get us wrong, we’re all for Muslim ladies ditching their burkas and walking proud – in…

There are a few things we love about South Beach: they don’t take that “open container” law too seriously, you’re guaranteed to see a hot body or twelve, and the amazing bars that inhabit the area. There are VIP spots like The Florida Room at the Delano, and then you…
A city is only as good as its weekend lineup, right? So we took a quick look at the events in other cities in the Village Voice paper chain to see how Miami measures up. This weekend, Denver has an animation festival and an edible book show (?). In Phoenix,…

Ever watch a polo match and think, that’d be fun to play? Probably not. Mounting ponies and dodging swinging mallets and hard-ass balls is not exactly part of our regular sports diet in South Florida, with apologies to Palm Beach socialites and fans of Miami Beach Polo World Cup. For…
Last night, the PlayGround Theatre, which prides itself in bringing unique and innovative stories to the stage for all ages, unveiled the world premier of their latest foray into myth and fantasy with The Red Thread.Taking inspiration from a Chinese folktale called “The Magical Embroidery,” co-writers Stephanie Ansin (who also…
Who doesn’t wish it was Saturday already so you could sleep in and snuggle with your best friend, Pistachio the cat and read your “Love and Work: 25 Years of Cathy Comic Strips” book? Such a morning is much dreamier than going to your shit job as a receptionist at…
Remember that scrawny, bug-eyed creature from the sketch comedy show In Living Color? How about the overzealous tribal warrior from Ace Venture Pet Detective II: When Nature Calls? Never mind, once you see him on stage tonight at the Miami Improv it will all come back to you.Davidson spreads his…
When we say Miss Richfield 1981 has balls — we mean it two ways. For starters, if she uttered her off-color comedy off-stage, she’d likely get run out of town. Secondly, she’s also a dude dressed like a lady. You’ll recognize the aging Minnesota pageant queen by her giant black…
