Sex Shops and Peep Shows

South Beach loves to glamorize social decay, so it isn’t surprising that Amsterdam’s red-light district, De Wallen, has gotten the SoBe spit-polish treatment. The area, arguably a cesspool of criminal gang activity and human trafficking, is brought to life — minus any actual prostitution — when De Wallen Rouge brings…

Video: ANR “The Endless Field of Mercury”

I’m a little late to game on this, but last month ANR released a new music video for its track “The Endless Field of Mercury,” a very bold number that starts out slow but turn into sort of call-to-action after about a minute. Personally, I’ve always been sort of “meh”…

Photo: Lady Gaga at Lollapalooza 2010

Overrated Eats: Versailles

Frommer’s “highly recommends” Versailles, touting it as “a glorified diner,” where Cuban exiles meet over a cafécito.

AutoErotique

It wasn’t long ago that Toronto duo AutoErotique was known as VNDLSM, which closely resembles the name of another vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo. Perhaps it was because they signed to the Dim Mak label — also home to that other vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo — that the pair changed its…

Porn Star-Turned-Actress Sasha Grey at Louis Saturday

I love Sasha Grey. Not in the creepy guy-who-stalks-porn-stars kind of way. I truly think she’s becoming a post-modern feminist icon. Some may disagree because pornography is often considered inherently misogynistic. But I’m not always sure Grey does porn because she wants to get men off, as much as she…
