Pin-up girls, strip teases, vintage cars and enough rock ‘n’ roll to bring Elvis back from the dead. What’s not to love about Pinned Miami, the three-day pin-up, rockabilly, burlesque and tattoo festival that’s hitting Miami this weekend? It’s a retro renaissance, with enough cheekiness and ’50s cheese to hold your pin…
In Miami, “transportation” means cars — yours, a friend’s, your parents’, whomever’s. We have no functional public transit system to speak of, and getting into a cab basically means paying an eccentric stranger a ridiculous amount of money to drive you three miles and nearly kill you 14 or 15…
Last night, North Miami Beach council numbers officially put their paws down against selling pets in stores. Officials approved an ordinance to ban the sale of commercially bred animals in the city, which means no offering up breeding mill-born dogs, cats, ferrets, gerbils, hamsters or rabbits. The ban follows similar…
What’s better than watching a hot babe do whatever you ask on webcam? Why, meeting that hot babe in the sexy flesh at the first-annual Camming Con, of course. Yes, drooling masses. You can meet your favorite cam girl superstars at the Eden Roc hotel in Miami Beach, and participate…
At nearly 20 feet long and 7,000 pounds, Lolita the killer whale is a big lass. But despite her hefty girth, she’s spent more than 40 years in a 60-by-80-foot tank at Miami Seaquarium — the human equivalent, animal advocates say, of living in a port-a-potty. A battle between the…
It’s time to get outside, enjoy the spring weather, and get some use out of those wheels. We’re not saying go for a drive. May is National Bike Month, and while Miami isn’t known as the most bike-friendly city in America, it’s still the proud home of a growing cyclist…
We love being given the opportunity to party productively, and this Saturday, you can do just that at cultural dance party Moskow Disko 2.0, at Mova Brickell. Of course, there will be DJs and live music, but there are also several artist exhibits, and part of the proceeds benefit the…
We’re Miami. We know we’re hot, and so does the whole world, but now, it’s official. Shape Magazine just counted the 50 sexiest male trainers in the country, and two of them are representing us and our scorching endless-summer bods. Who are the gorgeous fellas ready to sweat and sculpt…
Sometimes, it ain’t easy being sexy. In October, organizers from the first-ever adult-themed mud run announced it would switch locations from central Florida to Virginia Key. Now, the event is tweaking its brand in an effort to foster connections with more companies, according to founder and organizer Kelly Perez. “Because…
Everyone’s always talkin’ about the hot mamis of Miami, but hello! Have you seen our boys? They’re delicious. You just want to scoop them up and lick them all over like ice-cream, especially during Miami Beach Gay Pride. These divas have worked for these bods, and the Gay Pride Parade…
This weekend, Ocean Drive was dedicated to fairy boys blooming into butterflies and rippling rainbow flags. Sunday’s festivities promised one thing — equality. Six years ago, Miami Beach put a lid on the closed-minded boy-meets-girl mentality with the explosion of the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade and Festival. Though equality…
It’s no secret Miami Beach loves her gays, but once a year, there’s still occasion to cover yourself in rainbows, slap some glitter on, and hit the streets. Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade is the most fun you can have with clothes on, not that you’re expected to wear much…
It is once again time for Miami Beach Gay Pride, a week-long festival of the fabulous, featuring beach parties, drag shows, block parties, bachelor auctions, beauty pageants, and dance parties all leading up to the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade on Sunday, April 13. Some big names are involved this…
Gay pride is a pretty big deal. Think 80,000 rainbow hued-revelers, Miami Beach beefcakes galore, and Gloria Estefan to boot. It’s the party of the year, and only an asshole would miss it. As if it wasn’t fun enough, legendary drag queen, Real Housewives of Miami alum, and Miami Beach…
In the latest news from the adorable animal department, Jungle Island welcomed a bouncing baby baboon last week. Called Makara, the wee one was born to four-year-old Isis. Jungle Island reps say the baby is doing even better than expected. Isis and the three other Hamadryas baboons in residence are…
A pent-house suite, half-drunken champagne, and dildos greet you on stage before the performance even begins, and the first word of the play is a four-letter word for sex. No, this is not just any play, it’s Clark Gable Slept Here, a lively, scandalous peek into the dark and seedy…
With all the festival madness of late; traffic, life, and just getting from point A to B is more taxing than usual. Some locals, however, think we should focus on helping others in trying times instead of dissolving into fits of road rage and grumpiness. One such radical is Miami…
Apps were invented to simplify life’s toughest conundrums; some help dilute our cruddy sense of direction (Google Maps); some to make reservations for brunch at Zuma seamlessly – or not (OpenTable); and some to make our loins burn with passion. A whole techy business has emerged centered around the limbic…
Lucky ColeThe writer as subject.On a recent sunny day, New Times videographer Kathryn Sotolongo and I drove to a place bloated alligators are pecked on by starving vultures and the sawgrass’ll take off a finger. Out on Loop Road, where the Everglades becomes Big Cypress National Preserve, Lucky Cole and…
The new Muppets movie, Muppets Most Wanted hit theaters this weekend. You’d better enjoy it (you will) because Kermit the Frog is probably going to take a little time away from the spotlight after our disaster of an interview with him. Kermit is something of a hero to us here…
Greyhound racing seems like something straight out of 1955 — a track full of dudes in dapper hats all smoking cigarettes and bitching about their wives. It’s over the hill; old school; a blast from the past (in a bad way — like segregation). The stats support racing’s decline –…
Congratulations Miami: it’s a boy. Technically, the little guy was born back in December, but it wasn’t until yesterday that the fuzzball started getting stalked by paparazzi. Meet Zoo Miami’s three-month-old lion cub, K’wasi, now on display with his momma, Asha, every day. He’s a tough guy, and he’s already…
