If you believe in astrology, people born under the Libra moon are the most art-loving, attention-craving, charitable, and detail-oriented of the bunch. Sure, not every person born between September 24 and October 23 is supercool, innovative, and giving, but Tigertail Productions sure is. Thirty years ago, when downtown’s art scene…

Thanks to clubs such as the Vagabond, PS14, and White Room, NE 14th Street has turned into the dope downtown party block. And when the Urbanite Bistro opened nearby in mid-September, it meant the late-night crowd no longer had to rely on hot dogs to fill their vodka-hollowed bellies. They…

Hey, did you know that this is the first weekend of fall? There’ll be no need for that knit sweater and no pumpkin patch tours to speak of, but YES it’s fall! Let’s do autumn Miami-style and revel in the months ahead which will hopefully be filled with low(er) humidity…

Magic City Kitty: Husband wants oral sex from wife again

Car customizing didn’t begin with MTV’s hit series Pimp My Ride, but it sure felt out of reach before Xzibit began popping up on random people’s doorsteps and putting fish tanks in the back seats of ’91 Honda Accords. Having your name engraved in your steering wheel is no longer…

You don’t need to know opera to know the beautiful gypsy named Carmen or the eponymous tale based in 1830 Seville. The woman and her story have appeared on thousands of stages and in dozens of films since the 19th Century — and in many incarnations, from a saucy Dorothy…

One breezy fall day somewhere outside Seattle, residents gathered in the town square and the mayor buttoned himself into his “special occasion” suit, all to celebrate the magnificent bean that tames hangovers and makes sleepy eyes bright. The lil’ brown guest of honor didn’t have much to say, but graciously…

Tonight, spend some time with Frankie Beverly and Maize at the AAA, a group that does soul music like no other and has a live show that is nothing less than electrifying. And really, pure. For something more intimate, check out Jazzilla at Books & Books, Coral Gables. Jazz music, but…

There is little you can do to control your body once Frankie Beverly takes over the stage in his trademark all-white ensemble of shoes, pants, shirt, and baseball cap. In fact, you’d need Kathy Bates and a whole lotta rope to keep your feet from dancing to the music that…

If there were to be only one film title to sum up Miami, there’d be a tie between last year’s Oscar fave, Slumdog Millionaire (a nod to our bling-worshipping culture), and Singin’ in the Rain (for obvious umbrella-related reasons). Since we can’t let anyone know just how red our bank…

Sometimes living vicariously through your boob tube’s inhabitants just isn’t enough. Sure, it feels like enough when you’re curled up on the couch with a “special” cigarette and a Hot Pocket, but it pays to participate in live action. This Wednesday, feed your Iron Chef fix at the Whole Foods…

No one said that lasting through the summer of 2009 would be easy, but alas, you’ve made it and finally there’s shit to do on the weekend. Major shit to do. Tonight it’s all about the music: Married duo Calahoney jams at Tobacco Road, techno gets the Pickle treatment by Bruno Pronsato,…

Magic City Kitty: Personal Lubrication Education

Interaction among gals can get catty, but that’s mostly hype. All women don’t sit around and talk crap about each other. Most talk crap and then get into the good stuff: beauty tips and boys. And this Friday, Carmindy, renowned author and makeup artist for long-running makeover show What Not…

Call us socialists and drinkers of the proverbial Kool-Aid, but we don’t mind paying taxes for the services of firefighters and police officers. We’ve never been trapped in a blazing high-rise or involved in a hostage situation, but it’s good to know that if we do, we won’t have to…

Though it teaches you to add, promotes team building, and provides a wonderful opportunity to don interesting footwear, bowling gets a bad rap. But we’d bet that if the sport announced it was pregnant with octuplets, the nation would go wild for it again. Well, rumor has it that the…

When you get wasted on Coronas on May 5, you do it because the calendar says so, not necessarily because you’re excited that Mexico defeated the French in the Battle of Puebla that day in 1862. In fact, you probably think you’re knocking back brews for the country’s independence. Guess…

We hope you have Monday off for Labor Day, but if you don’t, you might as well act like it. Punish your company for having the balls to make you labor on Labor Day by rocking the fuck out this weekend. Dreaming in Stereo will play the Apple Store at…
