Traffic on Biscayne Boulevard was horrendous this weekend, and with good reason. Oprah Winfrey, AKA God Herself, was in town to speak at the American Airlines Arena. Most graciously, she let a hoard of women and some gay men in on her secrets to a successful and fulfilling life, and…
You’re a total label whore on a beer budget. What do you do? Where do you go? Two words, three syllables: Sawgrass Mills. The retail gods have shined their commercialized light anew on everyone’s favorite outlet mall with the exciting news of a major expansion. “We are excited about this…

Yoga may be soothing for the body and mind, but it can be rough on the wallet. And while free outdoor yoga is awesome, sometimes you just want a little AC to keep you from flinging sweat at your zen-like neighbor. At Wynwood Warehouse Project’s Enigmatic Vibrations, you can get…
Progressive cities have progressive ideas. Miami certainly wants to play with the big boys, but there are so many simple gestures this town lacks that earns it the appropriate “third world” stamp many other states have assigned it. Recycling here is a joke. Green areas are few and far between,…
The holidays are quickly approaching. And in a city full of gypsies, wanderers, and escapees from colder climates, that can mean a lot of folks are about to fall into a seasonal pit of loneliness and despair. Luckily, nothing cures the I-miss-my-family blues like the unconditional love of a pet…
Unless you’re one of the few people who didn’t recoil in horror at 2 Girls 1 Cup, it’s likely you don’t find poop particularly sexy. But the folks at Miami’s Fertile Earth Foundation are working to show the public that “waste” has a purpose, and embracing its awesomeness can help…
Every week there’s an arbitrary new ranking released by some dubious website or publication: Miami ranks last in number of Ivy Leaguers, first in number of Brazilian butt lifts. It’s great fodder, but how does Miami stack up when it comes to the stuff that actually matters? Last night at…
If you’re even remotely into fitness, it’s likely you get tired of the usual suspects: spinning, boot camp, CrossFit, yadda, yadda. Same old sweaty lineup. Dullsville. Lots of people end up abandoning their workout routines out of sheer boredom. Luckily, Miami’s has some newer fitness additions that make burning calories…

Warning: Video is NSFW. Imagine big, burly men thrusting their hips on stage underneath bright florescent lights. The shirt buttons pop and a chest full of hair is revealed. The Velcro on the handmade police-inspired costume snaps off and BOOM: a pair of boxer-briefs. Dollar bills start flying. No, it’s…
Babaloooooo! For those lucky enough to catch I Love Lucy on Nick at Nite back in the day, you’re well acquainted with the antics of Lucy, a quirky redhead desperate for stardom. Her handsome husband Ricky Ricardo, the Cuban bandleader and crooner, was the unfortunate soundboard for all of Lucy’s…
In addition to bendy limbs and lots of patience, becoming a yogi also requires cash money. Because no one will accept inner peace as currency. Lucky for wannabe yoga instructors with a cash flow problem, United Yoga University and Yogic Arts Teacher Training are gifting one lucky winner with a…
With all the fuss about what goes into our bodies, it’s easy to forget about what goes on them. Given that our skin is the largest organ (and arguably the most sensitive), it’s just as important to read the labels on beauty products as it is on foodstuffs. Luckily, green…
Miami is the city of the selfie. Our art-flushed eyes are used to a certain amount of visual stimulation — at least that’s what we’d like people to believe. Truthfully, we must just really like looking at and talking about ourselves. Self-obsessed as this city may be, everybody gets bored…
Gender identity and feminist theory — “I would like to say that the content in this show references these issues in a subtle way. What I am more interested in, is the dialog that happens afterwards or before,” says curator and INKUB8 artist resident Liz Ferrer about Spectual Sextrum: Audio/Visual…
Good thing we live here, because if we wanted to visit Miami, we’d have to shell out some pretty big bucks. In an Index compiled by Bloomberg, Miami rated the priciest city in the U.S. for lodging, and top fifth in the world. That’s after Geneva, Dubai, Kuwait City (really?),…
A very wise person once asked the deep, philosophical question: Who run the world? That same sage soul answered the ultimate question: girls. That’s right, ladies, we run the world. It’s high time everyone gets the memo. We jest, but in all seriousness, being a woman is a special thing…
There’s been a lot of talk about weed lately. The whole state of Florida is alive with the promise of legal medical bud. We drive past billboards that just say “marijuana” like every day, and we couldn’t be more stoked about it. We’ve had plenty of practice, so when the…
It’s been said that the man makes the clothes, not the clothes that make the man, but local stylist Chiara Solloa thinks that’s only half the story. “You can be anybody if you’re wearing the right clothes,” Solloa says. “It makes you feel a certain way, and that’s what I…
Trying to name all the funny moments that occurred in Steve Martin and Martin Short’s self-described “Very Stupid Conversation” is kind of like trying to count all the grains of sand in the Sahara. Frankly, there are too many to mention. Even before the two comedy legends took the stage…
