If Ricky Martin were writing a book, what would it be about? The life of Thomas Merton? Nah. It’d be about himself, of course. The title of Martin’s autobiography, Me , is eerily reminiscent of Bill Clinton’s My Life and Hitler’s Mein Kampf. But considering Martin’s gyrating, low-rise, studded jeans,…
Since we last talked about the Miami International Book Fair, there have been a few sad cancellations: Sir Michael Caine, Venus Williams, and Charles Burns. But there have also been some kicking additions (Dave Eggers!). Today, the Book Fair announced the official schedule of events, so let’s hope this means…
No matter how big Kat Von D gets, we know she was nothing before Miami Ink. But, really, we’re not bitter about her decision to go back LA. You win some (LeBron), you lose some (Von D). Actually we’re happy for the tattoo queen who made it mainstream to have…
Look, the last time we had a good time at church, our parents were having us baptized. And sure, maybe we went to a Catholic high school, but there was nothing holy about it. There were alcoholics, potheads, sexual deviants — and that was just the faculty — so needless…
All fashion trends fall under three categories. There’s the (1) anyone-can-pull-it-off trend: think jewel tones or leopard pumps. (2) the some-people-can-pull-it-off trend: bangs and skinny jeans. Then there’s (3) the ever illusive well-it’s-kinda-kooky-but-maybe-I-can-pull-it-off trend. The truth is, no you can’t. These trends are so out there that they only make…
Over the years, Miami has served as the backdrop for hundreds of Hollywood movies. In Celluloid City, we spotlight some of the classics shot right in our own backyard. Striptease, a box office dud despite cameos of a pair of million-dollar assets in the form of Demi Moore’s tatas (which got…
When last night’s episode of Bad Girls Club Miami starts out with “Brandi on the Rocks,” you know this shit is going to be good. Right off the bat, Brandi keeps repeating, “I never misplace money,” after loosing her wallet (which Kristen hid in Erica’s bed, by the way.) Yeah…

With the Dolphins’ season in full swing and the new-look Heat about to make their big debut tonight, Miami is poised for a successful year in sports. These days, though, there seems to be just as much talk about how athletes are wearing their hair as their performances on the…
Little kitty cats and puppies. Maybe a chimp or Curious George. And there’s always the two-person horse costume. All Halloween classics, but none have that modern edge of cynicism that you need to make a splash on October 31.Today, nothing says Halloween better than costumes that spit in the face…
Photos by JipsySo Raw at NDSOh, Miami. We’ve been adulterous with our thoughts. We’ve been secretly pining for other cities, romanticizing their street markets. When the lights go off, we dream of going in and out of the aisles of London’s Spitalfields Market and running our fingers over smooth ceramic…

When staying at the Eden Roc Hotel or rollerblading through Lincoln Road Mall, architect Morris Lapidus is probably the last person on your mind. Deborah Desilets aims to change that with her book, Morris Lapidus: An Architecture of Joy. Both heralded and reviled during his career, Lapidus first captured Desilets’s…
We’re a little embarrassed. When we see the words fox and house in the same sentence, we immediately think of the snarky TV dramedy House. But now, there’s a Miami connection, and it has nothing to do with a sarcastic doctor who loves poppin’ his pills. My Fox House is…
Conjure whatever cliché you prefer — Gwyneth Paltrow missing the elevator in Sliding Doors or a butterfly flapping its wings in Africa — but the tiniest moments can alter the course of your paltry, short life. Consider the recent success of artist Jillian Mayer who followed up on an email…
The Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival (FIIFF) deserves more props. Year after year, FLIFF draws Hollywood biggies like Kevin Spacey, Lynn Redgrave, James Woods, and Martin Scorsese. This past Saturday, Michael Moore, the man who calls himself America’s conscience, made his fourth appearance at the festival for its 25th anniversary.Before…

We suggest you avoid the costume stores. They will hit your checking account hard and you just know someone else is going to…

Photos by SwampdogFriday’s Heart Happening benefit for the Lotus House Women’s Shelter at the Margulies Warehouse offered a great mix of young, old, rich, broke, boisterous, reserved, and overall positive people. They ate, they drank, and they enjoyed great art all for the sake of a good cause. The performance…

Graffiti artist Aeon and his friends at the Tree Top Collective understand, in a real way, the value of movement as multiple sclerosis began affecting Aeon’s ability to walk. The good news is that his buddies, a community of artists, are determined to help him regain his mobility and raise awareness…
