Like neo-hippie nudists lost on LSD or maybe wicked woodland sprites, there are a bunch of naked teens frolicking through a nocturnal netherworld of forests, fields, and black-water ponds. The boys are hairless and pretty. The girls are similarly sexy but worldlier. Everyone wears a floral crown and a hard,…
Ours is long and strong with a big, fat head. Lots of people have told us it’s the largest one they’ve ever seen, even large enough to win a prize. When it’s hanging, slapped against our leg warming up, we can feel all the eyes at the bus stop staring…
For a second there, Dwyane Wade was in free-agency limbo, having gone past flirting with the Chicago Bulls to taking them home, and leaving Pat Riley sitting at the bar alone, staring at his phone, and pretending to text someone. But the gravitational pull of Biscayne Bay proved too strong…
Think of the new Miami Art Museum exhibit, “New Work Miami 2010,” as CliffsNotes to the local contemporary art scene. Curator René Morales calls it a “complex show that represents a complex art community,” but if pressed to summarize, he says a lot of the pieces deal with urban development…

All stubbly and shaggy, Louisiana’s Theo Von (né Vonkurnatowski) is a shave, a haircut, several Super Bowl rings, and about four inches away from being good-looking enough to get Gisele Bündchen pregnant. In a short video titled “Almost Tom Brady,” the comedian milks this meager resemblance for all it’s worth…
