Art Basel is over, and the 1% have all gone back to The Hamptons or Dubai or their secret “rich people only” underground compounds where they’ll wait out the apocalypse. But don’t worry, Miami artists — New Times still loves you. We’re handing out our annual MasterMind awards again this…
For the past two years, we’ve supported the city’s quickly evolving art scene with the MasterMind Awards, modest grants that honor the people and projects in the community that are making the biggest impact on visual arts, music, film, and beyond. This week, the submission period for the 2012 MasterMind…
The ’50s had Marilyn Monroe. A few women since have come close to epitomizing her glamor, but none really truly reached her status. Then, came Dita Von Teese. For those of you who don’t know who she is, maybe you are like our mother who asked, “Wait, that girl who…
South Florida’s equivalent to the North Pole is a little patch of land seasonally stacked with games, food, shows, and nativity right off el Palmetto.

With “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” officially over for the U.S. military, many more Americans are discovering that old stereotypes about homosexuality simply don’t pass muster. Nowhere is that sentiment clearer than in Scott Pasfield’s Gay in America, a book chronicling the cross-country journey the photographer took to interview gay men…
Shopping malls and haunted houses can be incredibly scary, but a combination of the two, that’s just downright terrifying. Welcome to Doral. If you’re a sucker for deep-fried frights, rickety, fly-by-night carnival rides, and hired talent scaring the piss out of you, you know the beginning of fall triggers the…
As everyone knows, if a guy stays single or sexless long enough, his virginity will grow back–usually thicker and darker than before. However, regular sex that doesn’t require pre-numbing your dominant hand shouldn’t be the only reason to acquire a girlfriend. Girlfriends provide many benefits including love, faithful companionship, and…
If you are an avid reader of Cultist (as you should be), you caught our interview with AshleyMadison.com creator Noel Biderman last week. According to him, at one point or another, everyone in this world cheats. So we got to thinking: There’s no way everyone is an adulterer, right? Right?! Ugh,…
If checked out the New Times sex survey, you know that Miamians are either the horniest, sluttiest lot on the planet or a bunch of no-good liars. As you may remember, 71 percent of the 2,000 people surveyed admitted they think about fornication many times throughout the day. Which is probably…
Miami Beach is going to be crawling with loud, feisty, LGBT this Saturday for Orgullo, the first ever Hispanic LGBT pride event. Organizers put together a saucy line up of Hispanic entertainers, including Jose (from Minuto de Fama), Adora & Teddy Behr, Marytrini, Mariloly, and Shanay Bright. Unfortunately, multi Grammy…
If you haven’t heard about CrossFit, what treadmill have you been hiding under? It’s the fitness craze that has members slamming heavy balls against the floor, scaling ropes, lifting, sprinting, squatting, pressing, pushing, and thrusting, sometimes crying, and then coming back, begging for more. (Is anyone else turned on right…

These days, if you’re still not satisfied with the kickball or roller derby leagues popping up all over South Florida, maybe bicycles will whet your alternative sport appetite.The Miami Bike Polo league (polo, as in a mallet in one hand, a handlebar in the other, and a street hockey ball…
When Steve Jobs sold his functioning liver to the Devil in exchange for the iPhone, his first thought probably wasn’t, “I bet someone will create apps that ease no-strings-attached sexual encounters.” Just kidding, he’s a savvy dude so I’m sure he knew right away people would use the device for…
Six years ago yesterday, Yoga in the Park downtown held its first free class. Woo hoo!! There were only nine attendees. That first class practiced near the water because Hurricane Wilma had ripped apart the Tina Hills Pavilion. Boy has yoga evolved. Today the free class has grown into one…

Twenty years ago, Miami was getting to be a frigging weird place, and if you went to José Martí Park on any given Sunday, it might not have surprised you to see a bunch of maniacs riding in circles on bicycles, screaming and swinging sticks. Today, the city has cleaned…
Please say it isn’t so! Just when we thought at least one couple would survive in Hollywood, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith might be on the way out. There are rumors that the couple is “separating.” Although the comely pair recently denied such rumors, we all know this is…
Meteorological experts have called August “the month when hurricanes are almost as brutal as my divorce (as in when my wife tires of my fearmongering and drawing trajectory cones on her belly as we make love).” If a nasty, hard-core hurricane is going to strike, it’ll probably be this month. Katrina…
Admittedly, our gaydar at Cultist is not always what it should be. We still think Justin Bieber is straight, maybe even Charlie Crist. So we don’t mind admitting we were floored yesterday when we found out about a petition started by an Illinois resident to “allow” Bert and Ernie to…
