The Name Says It All

You had your night of debauchery all mapped out: You were going to drag yourself to a bar, initiate a drunken hookup, get into a fistfight, and then argue with the cops about it afterwards. But that was before you heard about Technosluts: The Movement. The fetish-and-fantasy party — squeezing…

Spending the Night with Some Hot Mamas

The only thing better than one blonde MILF would be three of them, right? Okay, so it may be debatable to say any of the stars of 3 Blonde Moms are the type to turn you on; but they should be able to get you laughing, at least. Joanie Fagan…

Eat With Your Eyes

There’s nothing like the hard work of strolling through an art museum to work up the appetite. Fortunately, the folks at the Boca Raton Museum of Art (501 Plaza Real, Boca Raton) know this well. It is why for seven years now they’ve hosted a September food and booze night…

In Cold Sweat

It started out as a pleasant Sunday — days off are a luxury to be treasured when you own and promote your own record store. Lauren Reskin, owner of Miami staple Sweat Records, knew this, so she absorbed every last drop of joy from the breezy, laid back morning. The…

When the Satire Is Blunt

Dearly beloved, why are you reading a theater review right now? Are you not aware that the country is about to be taken over by a cruel, dishonest, superstitious gun fetishist of a Manchurian candidate who wants to retool our nation’s already shaky science curriculum until the completely unscientific creation…

Intolerable Cruelty

Masters of the carefully crafted cheap shot, Joel and Ethan Coen have built a career on flippancy. Given their refusal to take anything seriously — least of all the enthusiasm of their fans — the brothers surely got a chuckle from an upcoming academic tome, The Philosophy of the Coen…

Ladies Light

What do you think this is?” cries a lady who lunches in Diane English’s remake of George Cukor’s The Women. “Some kind of ’30s movie?” Even without the 14-year struggle to get the Murphy Brown writer’s pet project past studio doubters, it would be a tall order to remake George…

The Wackness is Way Dope

Are you yearning for the trappings of yesteryear? Wu-tang and KRS — 1? Bangs teased to the limit of hair product capabilities? How about Gandhi taking bong rips? Well, if any of that suits your fancy, The Wackness might just be your bag of grass. This comedy flick follows teenage…

Under The Big Top

“Political Circus,” the newest exhibit at the Ritter Art Gallery at FAU (777 Glades Rd., Boca Raton), doesn’t mince about with its commentary on American political discourse. And why should it? No approach other than a candid one could crack the façade of the political manifestation that at once pegged…

Miami En Pointe

If one had to craft a ballet that reflected Miami’s pulse, its movements would need to mirror certain narratives of the city, like the clean, swooping lines of Miami’s skyscrapers, the churning and chugging of the Metrorail, and the stirring of the cultural melting pot. In the International Ballet Festival…

Great Way To Go Green

Not only is it hump day, but did you know that today also marks the halfway point to St. Patrick’s Day? Put the two occasions together and you’ve found the perfect excuse to get sloshed and lay on the blarney. But wait — there’s more: Head to Dicey Riley’s (217…

Love Will Keep Them Together

As far as cutesy couple music goes, the husband-wife team Mates of State pretty much tops the list (Captain & Tennille and Steve & Eydie, notwithstanding). The duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel do hyperactive indie rock with a exploratory bent, blending electronic organ with inspired drum work and…

I’ll Stir Fry You in My Wok

When done well, wok cooking brings out the purest flavors of foods while still retaining their textures. But it’s daunting, isn’t it? Trading in your loyal cooking sidekick olive oil for something that won’t burn at higher temperatures. It just feels wrong — dirty even. Chef Eleanor Hoh understands your…

Look to the Sky

Not even rush hour could dissuade Alex Heria from pulling over and taking pictures of brilliant landscapes hugged by freeway ramps. He’s an award-winning local photographer who fixes his lens on the skies, roads, cities, and human beings in South Florida. “Alex Heria: Photographic Works 2000-2008” is open today from…

New Age Wines for New River Whiners

Biodynamism was born in a simpler age, when enemas could cure consumption and sniffing radium could cure almost anything; when American criminals were hanged and American women could barely vote. The year was 1924. Biodynamic farming — which emphasizes the treatment of farmland as a holistic ecosystem and eschews the…

Drink Coffee, not Elephant Urine

Whenever Bear Grylls escapes peril in Discovery Channel’s Man vs. Wild, you can’t help but wonder what it’s like being his son. On the up side, the boy probably has the coolest tree fort ever, crafted entirely out of vines from a Panama jungle and then decorated with rodent skulls…

It’s Symbolism, Doncha Know

Few movies have captured the spirit of culture like Fargo did for Minnesota. From the outsized flannels down to the lovably obnoxious patois, the Coen brothers’ masterpiece was a near-perfect portrait of Nowheresville life. The flick plays out like a news brief headline: A small town car salesman collaborates with…

Aging Queers

One of the greatest bands in the history of punk rock, the Queers, has been playing its signature blend of in-your-face-ruckus for more than 26 years. That’s an awfully long time to do anything, much less play three-chord tunes to an increasingly jaded fan base. Thankfully, Joe Queer and the…

Kick-boxed to a Pulp

How many among us can truly claim to have a healthy and productive outlet for the immense rage that grows within us, what with hurricanes barreling our way on a weekly basis? It just makes you want to punch someone, but acting out that fantasy would most likely land you…

This is What it’s Like When Worlds Collide

When Jordan and Pippen were together, they were unstoppable. Kobe and Shaq, despite their differences, were also a vicious duo. Chocolate and peanut better — lets just say they both kick some major ass. Point is, when two heavyweights team up, the result is often magical. So it’s reasonable to…

Art Walk Renamed “Art Stumble”

Have you ever had one of those magical nights where you run into all of your favorite people, get the perfect level of drunk without going over, and somehow end it all with nearly as much cash as you started? Odds are, if you have had one such out-of-wallet experience,…

P.Diddy’s Got Nothin’ on Pet Set

Pet owners and animal lovers, break out your lint brushes! Friday night offers you the opportunity to not only support our fine furry friends at the Humane Society of Broward County, but also a chance to party all night in chic white. Hosted by Pet Set, a social networking group…
