Grab your corset, don a garter, and get over to Exotique, an Alter Ego Fetish Party event taking inspiration from the retro fetish fashions of the 1950s. Think Betty Page on a kinky, weekend getaway. Dress code is strictly enforced. Tickets cost $15, or $10 if you order online in…
The Italians know that almost any time is occasion for a feast. Easter Sunday? Puuh-lease. That’s practically an invitation to gorge. Head over to BRIO Tuscan Grille today for a Easter brunch the Romans would be proud of: frittata al forno, eggs benedictano, Tuscan French toast (woah) with mascarpone, crab…
When Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was remade in 2005 by Tim Burton as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a little bit of cinema history died. What could Burton and crew hoped to add to the already flawless musical adaptation of the Ronald Dahl classic – especially by replacing…
Every kid wants to hunt for Easter eggs during the thoroughly macabre Christian holiday – how eggs came to be associated with Easter, though, is thought to be Pagan in origin. Why not combine one Pagan principle with another – namely, science – when the South Florida Science Museum hosts…
Entertainment Tonight said of veteran dancer Rasta Thomas that he’s “what you would get if you took the best of Baryshnikov, Bruce Lee, and Michael Jackson.” The competitive dancer of both classic and contemporary styles has shaped the world of performance dance as we know it – now he’s sticking…

Set a mere two decades ago, Greg Mottola’s Adventureland seems as if it could be taking place on a distant planet, less for the leg warmers and knee socks clinging to lower extremities than for the legions of pre-Internet Luddites who gather, like the apes at the start of 2001,…
Bart Got a Room South Florida native Brian Hecker’s uncomfortably strained directorial debut — a semi-autobiographical comedy about a high school senior who can’t find a prom date — foolishly believes that Windsor fonts, swing-era songs, and Jews are enough to invoke Woody Allen’s wit. It’s a quirky indie, you…
A new gallery is always cause for rejoicing, especially in these uncertain times. And so it was with great pleasure that, after a series of miscommunications about my impending visit, I finally discovered Exor Galleries, which just celebrated its first birthday in Boca Raton’s Royal Palm Place. Exor is really…
It’s 11 o’clock on a Sunday morning, and we’re sitting in a former Methodist church. So it’s no wonder the man gesticulating forcefully at the front of our congregation could be mistaken for a preacher. His voice changes pace, lilt, and volume at intervals, similar to man possessed by “the…
With the molded-rubber face of Savalas, the basso profundo of Stallone, and the name of an underdog gas alternative, Vin Diesel’s already-dubious ripped-tough-guy star has dimmed enough to warrant a return to the car-chase series that made him — and money. In the latest, notably slack Fast & Furious (number…
When the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach announced at the end of March that its CEO and director, Christina Orr-Cahall, would be leaving in May, I was as stunned as everybody else. I have a close friend who works at the Norton, and there had been none…
Being a hoarder is gross. You can’t find peace where you find clutter. And if you’re one of the 8.5 percent of Americans who’ve joined the ranks of the unemployed, you have extra time to get to the spring cleaning. The city of Wilton Manors is hosting Island City Yard…
Promoter Steve Rullman has long been an integral part of the South Florida music scene thanks to his concert database and promotions network, The Honeycomb. But with his latest venture, Rullman is taking a more hands on approach to the bar business. It’s called Propaganda: a brand new escape for…
Instead of staying home to watch reruns of Queer As Folk, head over to SideLines Sports Bar for Monday Game Night. No, they’re not hosting the Gay Bar Olympics or anything — so don’t wear spandex, please — but the competition can get heated over dominoes, cards, board games, backgammon,…
Let’s take a quick break from all the hardcore hockey talk and speak on something more suited to the Sidney Crosby and Pittsburgh Penguins: their fashion sense. The Penguins clearly have the most hideous third jerseys in hockey history. Powder blue jerseys only work for one team, and they play…
You spend a lot of time drinking sherry, smoking a pipe, and ordering every foreign film ever reissued by the Criterion Collection — La Jetee, Jules & Jim, The Naked Kiss, Yojimbo. During all that down time you dream up strangest adventure that will carry you away from South Florida…
James Cagney was one of the first and foremost gangsters of the silver screen. He started out in drag as a vaudeville entertainer. At the dawn of the Depression, he became a star for playing a bootlegger in The Public Enemy. Then, in a scene that shocked 1931 audiences, he…
Tate’s Comics’ colossal anniversary tent sales have achieved an almost legendary status — people know when they see that huge white canopy in the parking lot in front of the store that deals of otherworldly origin lie within. “I get e-mails months ahead of time from asking what weekend the…
Bjorn Rebney is not a fighter. But the new kid on the mixed martial arts block has just delivered a haymaker to the soft, fleshy side of the competition. Rebney’s Bellator Fighting Championships has pinned down a deal with ESPN Deportes that makes it the first MMA organization to air…
You may not need a subway system to get from Himmarshee to Las Olas —in fact you could probably circle the area in stilettos within 20 minutes. But the little hub of bars and clubs that we call “downtown” may be residents’ last front against unfettered, soulless condo development. One…
