Most of us might have spent our extracurricular time in high school trying to get laid, drinking cough syrup, or arguing with our friends about what attributes would best compose a kick-ass robot. That’s why we’re particularly excited about Bots High, Joey Daoud’s feature length documentary. The doc follows a…
Fulano, the Miami Cubanaso, has all the know-how you second-generation Cubericans need to visit the motherland without (hopefully) getting disowned by your exiled grandparents or by your Bay of Pigs-veteran old man. Here’s Part Two: Where to Eat.¡Que bola, aceres! In Part 1, we told you how to stay at…
O, Miami continues its guerrilla-style tactics, making sure every Dade resident encounters a poem during April. This time, the festival has paired with Miami artist Agustina Woodgate. The Argentina-born creative is revered for her teddy bear rugs — furry tapestries constructed from the pelts of plush toys — as well…
There are some ’90s-era Hollywood hotties that are a lot like fine wine — George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt (when he’s not sporting the billy goatee), Leonardo DiCaprio (hey, he actually looks like a man now), and Mark Wahlberg — they just get better with age. Then there’s some…

Opening Night for the Florida Marlins is tonight and we’d like to say that we are excited about the team’s prospects. But we can’t. Not really. The Fish have been about average the past several seasons, and we expect them to hover at about that this year. It’ll be their…
Mommar Gadhafi is way out of line these days. Know who could set his ass straight? The Daleks. You know, those alien fascist space tanks with shrill British accents from Doctor Who? At least Ben Thompson thinks so. And he should know: Thompson literally writes the books on badasses. Part…
By now, most of you have watched the So You Want to Move to Miami Xtranormal vid. If not, the gist is that a lady who wants to move to our city is discouraged by a travel agent who is so sickened by the poor quality of life here, he…
O, Miami is bringing poetry to the streets in oh so many ways this April. This week, they’re hosting Abe’s Penny Live, an interactive event that will inspire you to use your literary mind in a public space. The point is to get inspired by Miami artists’ photos at a…
Art Basel Fort Lauderdale? Yuck. But if the rumors are true, art snobs from around the globe will have to familiarize themselves with the 9-5-4. Basel organizers are close to inking a multimillion dollar deal with the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center, which could land the popular art fair some 31…
The opening title card of François Ozon’s 1977-set Potiche seems to take design inspiration from the exploitation films of that period–a sneaky-smart way of nodding to one of this pastel-colored political farce’s key topics, if not its stylistic mode. As Suzanne, Catherine Deneuve plays the title role, which translates as…
After days of straight, non-stop dancing and hopping around from party to party, some Miami Music Week fashion trends begin to emerge. First, eyewear was a must. We saw plenty of neon plastic cheapies at Ultra Music Fest, a few designers at Sunday School, and unique frame designs on the…
O, Miami, my Miami! Okay, so we’re no Walt Whitman. But the poets who are taking their words to the streets during the month of April for O, Miami might be.One of the poets regaling us Miami folk with her wit and wisdom is New Orleans artist Sunni Patterson. She’s…
We’ve come a long way from the hippy days of hemp T-shirts and bottle-cap bracelets. Today’s eco-fashion shows are more likely to reek of Chanel No.5 than patchouli oil and are attended by celebrities like Natalie Portman and Cameron Diaz. Don’t believe us? See Luis Valenzuela, whose dramatic, structured “art-to-wear”…
Deciding on creepy things that are truly characteristic of the Dade County Youth Fair takes a bit of intuition and a lot of familiarity. Four-fingered carnies, clowns, and creaky rides are such cheap shots these days that they’ve lost all their credibility. Besides, who is honestly surprised to find that…
Fashion Breakdown: Skull T-shirt bought on eBay, black skirt from American Apparel, boots from DSW, and red envelope purse from Target…
