We recently spent an evening at the Standard with Daria Brit Shapiro, curator and director of a.m.f. project. We weren’t just there to enjoy her charismatic company, but to get the inside scoop on her integral role with Scope Miami and Karelle Levy’s KREL Wear. She also told us about…
We have some of the best news ever. No, Sarah Palin isn’t taking a vow of silence. No, the Miami Heat haven’t announced that they are getting their shit together. Bad Girls Club is looking for new gals to join the gnarly gang … and they are looking in Miami.Even…
We’ve already told you about eight art fairs worth checking out, and here’s the final installment in our Guide to Satellite Art Fairs. The sheer number of fairs is rather overwhelming. But take comfort in the fact that you, brave, art renegades of the Magic City, are taking part in…
If you’re a collector or a just plain art aficionado without the purchasing power and you’ve never attended O.H.W.O.W.’s It Ain’t Fair, you’re missing out on one of the week’s best satellite fairs. It’s not really much of a fair, though, as there’s only one gallery represented. But the curated…
Spoof movies have become a staple of our film diet. And a lot of that has to do with Leslie Nielsen, who passed away in his sleep on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale. He was 84. Nobody played a goofball straight man better than Nielsen. Roger Ebert called him the “Olivier…
For the last three years, we’ve always had a local artist work with us to create the cover for our Art Basel issue. This year, Bert Rodriguez, who is profiled in our upcoming issue, worked with art director, Pam Shavalier, to come up with this year’s cover.Spoofing W magazine’s “Art…
Rarely do we attend events that give us chills. And it wasn’t just the frequent, icy wind bursts on Saturday evening. The Dorsch Gallery’s Clifton Childree and Arnold Mesches exhibit is an outstanding example of Miami’s contemporary art prowess sprawled forth in grandiose, multimedia installations and masterfully executed, traditional paintings…
We know we don’t have to sell you on the talents of Louis C.K. or at least we shouldn’t have to. His comedic tenacity is only rivaled by his substantial body of work — he’s been everything from a standup comedian, actor, writer, and director. And though he’s been busy,…
Sure, Art Basel is great for the art. We’ll give you that. But once you get passed the amazing collectors flying from around the world to add stellar pieces to their collections, what else is there? The after parties, of course. But our favorite thing about Art Basel? It also…

On Friday, we told you about the satellite art fairs cropping up on Miami Beach. Now we skip over the bay to Wynwood for four more art fairs worth a visit. Never be intimidated or deterred by thinking you have to buy anything while strolling the fairs. Yes, the ultimate…
Art Basel, like a muffin top peaking out of too-tight jeans, is spilling out beyond the convention center. It’s now like Fantastic Fest or Mardi Gras, a week-long madness that takes over an entire city. This year, it’s causing giant jellyfish to attack Lincoln Road, giving Hello Kitty a gas…

Alright, the art season is officially upon us, Miami. A flurry of gallery, museum, and art fair openings will make it almost impossible to walk, think, and see straight this week. But this is no time to crawl under the table and hide. Yes, the traffic will be thick, the…
Part of what makes Art Basel so damn fun, we mean besides the art, of course, is the fact that celebrities use the opportunity to show their cultural sides. And you know we love that here at Cultist. Case and point: Russell Simmons, the hip-hop magnate and patriarch of the…

The British may not be the masters of cuisine or dental work, but they really can dress. Sure, the Parisians and Milanese are known for their couture, but the Brits have a unique strength and daring to their style. To name only a couple of heroes of garb, there’s the…
Miami is a hot city in general. And even though our temperature gages reach searing highs almost year round, were not talking about the weather. While Los Angeles and New York might beat us in total number of celebrities per mile, we definitely have some of the best looking ones…
There are a lot of things that are awesome about Art Basel week, only one of which is actually Art Basel. In between staring at five-digit price-tags for paintings we’ll never buy and making awkward conversation with socialites, we’ll be headed to Arts for a Better World — a 40,000…
It’s hard not to love a Jersey/Miami-brewed comedian. Especially one that makes jokes about white people’s response to his black family skiing (“Are those bears?”) and being mistaken as smart because of his glasses (“You look like you went to college. No, I went to Pearl Vision.”). And after years…

We all grew up with Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Whether we read the book, watched the movies, or caught a theatrical production of the age-old story, a holiday season didn’t get by us without Ebeneezer Scrooge making an appearance. And whatever your preferred method of dosing on Dickens was,…
