Sometimes we need to realize that living in South Florida is a privilege. We get great weather, beautiful people, and rent that isn’t great, but hey, it’s worse in New York. But one thing that we are soon starting to understand is that gorgeous beaches and 365-day summers brings mean…
We’ve really been enjoying ourselves these last few weeks, watching the ladies of Bad Girls Club Miami frolic around our great city. They got into fights, blacked out, and were just trainwrecks in general. But sadly, we only get to watch these broads for an hour once a week, and…
What do you call a massive warehouse on the west side of Wynwood filled with dancers, graff artists, photo types, film makers, loonies, locos, and lovers? The Heart Happening, a night of performance art, silent auction, and chef’s tastings to benefit Lotus House Shelter, which serves homeless women contending with…
We have a real soft spot for plushies with button eyes (and even on humans, remember the flick Coraline?). Combine that with our hard-on for graffiti and this mural on 21 Street and N. Miami Avenue made us stop and snap. How awesome would it be to see something by…
Halloween is an evening to pick out your neatest costume, meet up with some friends, and engage in some wholesome tricks and treats. Get real. If you’re over fifteen years old, celebrating Halloween is for getting drunk (only on liquor-filled chocolates if you’re under 21, of course). With the help…

Question: What’s free, black and white, and has awesome written all over it? Answer: The Super Scary Movie Night, an evening of retro horror flicks and surreal soundtracks. Tomorrow night, artist Kevin Arrow and Barron Sherer will screen freaky Super 8 mm films — some from their own stash and…
The cover story of this week’s New Times print edition concerns pickle eating contest. No joke. You read right. We know what you are thinking. It has to be euphemism for oral sex, right? Wrong. Then it must be the slowest news week in the history of Miami. Wrong again…
Dear Mistress, I am a single, good-looking guy. I just moved to Miami Beach, and I can’t find a girlfriend. Women down here don’t have a brain in their head or they’re stuck-up gold diggers. It’s almost as if they expect to see your tax returns and bank statements before…

Flickr christianisthedjMost men don’t appreciate how much work it takes for us girls to actually look like ladies. There are the endless hair appointments, manicures and pedicures, marked-up clothes, and let’s not forget those huge, nude panties that make us look an entire size smaller. And then there’s the word…
In 1977, legendary musician Dizzy Gillespie visited Cuba in search of the nation’s Jazz scene, rumored to be one of the world’s best, but unknown to the general American public because of the tenuous relations between the two countries. He needed someone to take him to the smoky clubs and…
If young aristocratic a-holes and vodka tonics sound like just another day at the yacht club, you’re probably familiar with Tucker Max. He’s a frat boy’s wet dream, the Greek-row messiah worshiped by thousands of trust-fund-baby disciples. But Max’s story is interesting, even if it’s predicated on false relationships and…
