Every time you see hordes of people pouring out of the Miami Beach Convention Center with lanyards flopping around their necks, you wonder, Why can’t I roam that huge hall wearing my name on a string? Usually you can’t because events are open to only important folks, but for just…
We’re bored with roaming the Earth on foot, but until the wings we ordered from SkyMall come in, we’re content with watching the limber members of the Animate Objects Physical Theater coast through the air like King James. Acrobats, stilt dancers, and aerialists will occupy the space above your head…
We can thank Dubya’s inability to balance the nation’s checkbook for the term recessionista. We were fine with frugal and could even rock with tightwad or cheapskate if necessary, but the advent of the R-word took the power away from the only kind of “ista” we really want to be…
Hey, you, under the rock, there’s a really cool festival every year that brings short plays to Miami. It’s called Summer Shorts, and it includes productions for the young’uns (Shorts 4 Kids), some that are simply awesome and dramatic or hilarious (Signature Shorts), and others so dirty they should bear…
Friday night comedian Mike Epps performed at the Fillmore and as usual, his raucous conversational comedy was hilarious and he had the crowd in stitches for the majority of his hour-long (don’t quote me on the length of time, thanks) set. He also dropped a few sexual pearls of wisdom…
This video is NSFW if you don’t want your colleagues thinking that you like to watch chihuahuas show off their stripper movies. Caution: this vid includes a red speedo, bird chest, and more tongue action than a Coldstone Creamery sees all year…
Hello, Kitty My relationship with my mom has been strained ever since I dropped out of college to pursue a career selling jeans at the Gap. But not long ago, I lost my job, and she offered up her spare bedroom. I’m guessing that it was simply lip service since…

You might have thought about avoiding South Beach for this weekend’s Memorial Day activities, and in past years we might have encouraged it, but for 2009, we say suppress the bitch inside and hit some parties that will allow you to do the stanky leg and yell out Young Jeezy-esque…
If you want to go to a cigar bar without smelling like you went to one, try Cigar Bar 31, which sits on the terrace outside Area 31, high above Miami on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel. Sure, you’ve grown accustomed to puffing on stogies in a dank,…
It’s unclear exactly when one’s palate begins to prefer vino over Cisco, but it’s hard to resist Riesling, even on the first taste. With the perfect balance of acid and sugar, Riesling is often tinged with the flavors of tropical fruits, flowers, and, yes, mineral stone. Its accessibility and delectability…
When it comes to concerts, Bicentennial Park has a knack for doing real big, real well. The space has dance music covered with Ultra, and hip-hop on lock with Rock the Bells — the only lineup that’s missing is one with some variation of Hannah Montana/the Jonas Brothers/Taylor Swift on…
In life you’re told to follow your instincts, but if said instincts land you in bellbottoms and a muffin-top bearing baby tee – it may be time to turn your style over to more capable hands. The hands of the stylists and personal shoppers at Simone Vivian. Have tons of…

Hello, Kitty When I agreed to an open relationship with my boyfriend, I thought it was the best thing for us. Not because I wanted to have sex with hundreds of guys and also be loved by my boyfriend, but because I thought it would mean I could keep my…
Magic City Kitty: Doors and Legs Open
Traditional sushi is made of salted fish and fermented rice, yet somehow the gourmet goody has become a trendy part of American pop culture, and more than a few decidedly nontraditional rolls have popped up on menu pages across the nation. One bite into a bagel roll — filled with…
Chest-to-chest and hip-to-hip, two dancers tangoing is one of the most exciting spectacles to watch. Fleet-footed hoofers convey sensuality, anger, or euphoria. In Tango Undressed — the brainchild of Ray Sullivan, Miami Contemporary Dance Company’s founding artistic director and resident choreographer — the traditional dance is given a contemporary makeover…
What do you get when you take Greg Grunberg and Adrian Pasdar from Heroes, Teri Hatcher and James Denton from Desperate Housewives, mop-topped Bob Guiney from The Bachelor, and Jesse Spencer and Hugh Laurie from House? Yes, the cast listing for the 2015 season of VH1’s Surreal Life, but also…
Our city’s inaugural sewer line began dropping waste into the Miami River in 1896, and by the 1950s, 29 others were getting in on the hazmat action as well. A solution — in the form of a treatment plant on Virginia Key — was eventually found, but the resulting shit…
Ahh, good ol’ rumbullion. Ye olde English colonies called it kill devil — both for its hangover-inducing properties and its medicinal powers. Mix it with some lime juice and a little sugar, shake it, and it becomes a daiquiri. A splash of Coke and a squeeze of lime make it…
