Miami’s an expensive city. Whether it’s jacked up parking prices, costly concert tickets, or the Lobster cooked in foie gras and opium at that new restaurant on South Beach (worth every penny in this writer’s opinion), a weekend out on the town will leave you more in debt than our…

Flickr CC Richard DrdulSure, you’ve laughed at cyclists’ bulge-hugging Spandex shorts, rolled your eyes when they use the street inches from the sidewalk, and if you’re a certain Latin pop star, you’ve even gotten drunk, hit them, and then driven off with their bike still lodged in your front fender…
Starting in mid-November, Miami Beach will join other cities around the world when the city implements a bike-share program. Basically, you’ll be able to check out a bike at a kiosk for however long you need it, and ride it to any other Miami Beach kiosk to drop it off…

Green Machine Tattoos is the slime-green painted shop neighboring a psychic adviser and a lingerie shop between Miami Twice and A&M Comics on Bird Road at 67th Avenue. Owner James Rossi says “The place was already green, so I figured it would be a good name, just call it Green…
There’s a huge chunk of the country that looks at California and tearfully asks, “Why not us? Why can’t they legalize marijuana in our state?” Since the mid ’70s, Big Tobacco has been planning for the widespread legalization of pot. Those evil barons already have all the different brand names,…

No, it’s OK. They’re friends.Sunday Submission, the coolest fetish party at South Beach’s RokBar, is only a ten days away. We know most of you are aching with anticipation, especially those who are just breaking into this wonderful, yet dark world of BDSM. If you’re shy, but want to know…
[jump] Wow. This is deep. Now, before I get all philosophical and shit, allow me to define “subspace” for those who are not BDSM or new-age savvy. Subspace is a trance-like state of mind. This particular state can vary from moderate to very intense, and it’s usually experienced by weird…
Hallelujah! A short workweek. Too bad we still have to cram five days worth of making widgets into the remaining four days. Release some steam without blowing through any cash with the following free events. Party with a Haitian Hillbilly, get high brow at Frost, celebrate hometown literary fiction at…
Last March, a sweaty crew of bicycle folks set forth on a Beer Snob Bicycle Pub Crawl with the intention of enjoying a few brews and a spring afternoon ride. It was the meeting of two wonderful American pastimes, drinking and cycling, both done responsibly, of course. On September 18,…
[jump] Dear Christ Lover, As a sadistic cunt, I am glad you are feeling guilty about your desires. Guilt is one of the primal forms of masochism, and as a devout Catholic you should know this. There is nothing wrong with practicing BDSM and being a total religious freak at…
On an otherwise nondescript street in Wynwood, a two-story building seems to be breathing fire in the middle of NW 36 Street between Second and Third Avenues. This is the home of Hell Bound City Tattoo. As soon as you walk in, you quickly realize this isn’t South Beach. When…
Despite the worn-out copy of Four-Hour Workweek on your nightstand, you’re still a wage slave with pockets full of resentment but empty of cash. This week, though, distract yourself from your fiscal worries with little affordable doses of that c-word: culture. Monday: Damn, we already lied. You’re going to have…
When you hear that there’s going to be a burlesque show at Churchill’s Pub, you might wonder: Who do they think they are, Moulin Rouge? And if you’ve never been to Churchill’s Pub, we highly suggest it for many reasons. Sure, it’s not in the best part of town and…
[jump] Dear Boyfriend Beater, Define normal for me. What’s normal to you may seem totally bizarre to others. Take me for example, pissing on a guy’s face — normal. Kicking somebody in the nuts until they turn black — normal. Shoving a pencil-sized metal rod in a man’s urethra and…
This Thursday night, a variety show called the Millionaire Tramps Vaudeville Debut lands at Churchill’s Pub with Dangerfun!’s handpicked selection of South Florida tramps. Settle in for some stand-up and sketch comedy by Skitsations, slapstick jugglers, bunnies pulled from top hats, and the wiggles and jiggles of Hellion Burlesque. For…
Living in South Beach — the world capitol of bad techno music — it was a pleasant change to head over the causeway to the Vagabond for a night of ’50s nostalgia. At Saturday’s Shameless Burlesque’s Elvis Tribute, twenty-something hipsters jived on the dancefloor to Fats Domino and hugged their…
