When we say Miss Richfield 1981 has balls — we mean it two ways. For starters, if she uttered her off-color comedy off-stage, she’d likely get run out of town. Secondly, she’s also a dude dressed like a lady. You’ll recognize the aging Minnesota pageant queen by her giant black…
In Charles Perez’s autobiography, Confessions of a Gay Anchorman, he slams the news team at WABC in New York for being a bunch of overpaid, homophobic meanies (with the exception of Sade Baderinwa). He trashes Diana Williams, Liz Cho, Bill Ritter, and particularly Sam Champion, though.Perez started his career in television…
X-Ray vision. Super-human strength. The ability to read minds. Flying. And, the power to become invisible (especially, in the middle of tax season). We all wish we had superpowers. But we don’t. And that sucks. Like any adolescent geek into comic books and superheroes, Cultist feels your pain. We figure…
Why hand lotion? Because you’ll be forwarding this post to all your like-minded adult pals, and all that clicking might make your fingers get blisters. Why? What were you thinking, you perv!? Exxxotica Miami Beach has become queen bee among Miami Beach’s many debauch events. It’s the only time of…
You have to hand it to DJ Tamara Sky. After being subjected to undeserved vitriol for winning Best Club DJ in our Best of Miami issue, Sky took it all in stride. It’s just not her style. Sure she gets aggravated when people (i.e., men) try to put down female…
Advances in science and technology have been able to improve the quality of life for people such as Joan Rivers and Heidi Montag. Fortunately, the animal kingdom will now also benefit from such lifesaving procedures.Boris, a once obese but now just hefty pig, is going to “have some work done.”…
Sure, James Franco is hot. Super hot. And hey, when an actor’s been involved with projects like Freaks and Geeks, Spider Man, Milk, Howl, and Pineapple Express (we’ll just pretend like Eat, Pray, Love and Tristan & Isolde never happened), it’s easy to like them. Because those are all cool…

It happens fast. Twenty-five seconds to be exact. You’re in a car, driving around, when you suddenly spot her. She’s wrapped tightly in cellophane to a sign pointing to South Beach. She doesn’t struggle. She looks at every passing car without even a hint of embarrassment. Is it some sort…
The Miami Herald reports that Andy Cohen is this year’s grand marshal for the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade and Festival, which starts April 12. We ran into Cohen, Bravo’s Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Development, at the Eden Roc last week, where he told us he loved…

South Beach has a whole weekend devoted to celebrating its Art Deco architecture. But, damn it, the little strip of mainland just across the causeway needs love for its buildings too. The Upper Eastside is pretty much the only place in the world where you can find a concentration of…
With the Miami International Film Festival, South Beach Comedy Festival, and Fashion Week this weekend, it’s going to be tough to choose which to attend. We thought we’d make your decision a little easier by giving away two free tickets to Mad Cat Theatre’s production of The Preservation Society, part…
Think back to the last day of fifth grade before summer hit. You were so delirious with joy you chewed through the pink erasers on your no. 2 pencils, practically pulled out your pigtails from your pre-pubescent cranium, and ripped tiny tears in your Mead composition book. Adults rarely get…
Who doesn’t all want another excuse to go drinking and misbehaving during the work week? Such is the allure of kickball leagues in Miami and across the country. That and finding intelligent women! The sport is thriving and there are several leagues in Miami-Dade sponsored by World Adult Kickball Association…
One day, you wake up and realize you’ve done nothing creative since writing that love poem to your college girlfriend, that your current relationship is codependent, and that you hate your parents even though they seem to like you enough. What separates the successfully creative from yourself? Pretty much nothing…
Miami has given burlesque a bit of a bad name. So thinks Erika Moon, who has arrived from France to show us a thing or two about how it’s done in a “classy, elegant way,” she says. Moon is inaugurating the Evolution of Burlesque tonight and Friday at the Colony…
Sex in Miami is a lot like the city’s heavy humidity. It’s omnipresent, suffocating (if done right), and always leaves you sweating. So when we found out that local porn studio Reality Kings filmed a porn movie on Monument Island, home of the Henry Flagler Memorial — well, we weren’t…
If there’s one constant to the responses in our ongoing list of Miami 100 Creatives, it’s that the urge to create is a compulsion and not a choice. Video artist Cristina Molina referred to her motivation as a dark undercurrent, a tugging. Artist Jim Drain mentioned that without his artistic…

Valentine’s Day is two weeks away. Good luck getting dinner reservations this late in the game. And those online gifts you bought, chances are they won’t arrive until February 15. But before you buy roses and cheap chocolates like every other amateur Casanova, Cultist is here to help stoke the…
Don’t get us wrong, we think creating bike lanes on any street is a smart and safety conscious decision. But Washington Avenue on South Beach? Lord help us! If there’s one street that attracts the I-just-popped-three-bottles-at-LUX Nightclub-set, then it has to be Washington Avenue. Perhaps city officials believe that a…
