“It’s everyone’s museum.” So said Darlene Pérez, one half of the Miami power couple behind the leading Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), earlier today, when I ran into my fellow Florida International University Panther in the vestibule of the downtown museum. I had spent a bit o’ the morning checking out the comprehensive documentary exhibition of “Surrounded Islands,” […]
Much like Sarah Jessica Parker in 1995’s Miami Rhapsody, I look at Miami these days, and talk about how much it’s changed, and you know, how it’s always hot and how it’s always stormy, and how it’s, you know, how it’s occasionally a little dangerous…but you know…. Really, if it’s really so awful, why is […]
This is my friend, the New York City-based architect David Gauld. David steered the recent renovation and expansion of The Bass, a Miami Beach Art Deco landmark museum that opened on South Beach in 1964 that I quite seldom visited during the time that I lived in South Florida. What can I say other than, […]
And I’m back. Back in Miami, after five seasons away, for what is now called #MiamiArtWeek, because hashtags. Also because I am determined to pull a Cookie Lyon and get back what’s mine. My name went from being on the guest list to being on a name tag, and that is A-OK; honest work that […]

All year long I’d been looking to find The Day After Tomorrow on TV, to watch it for free, because I first saw the 2004 disaster blockbuster at the multiplex like a normal person.

The girl was 5. She adorably demanded, “What are you reading?” He was happy to see his happy neighbor, so he smiled big at her curiosity and so, he said, “A book about an apartment. On further thought…. “A book about an apartment in Paris.” “Why⁉️” she asked without missing a beat. (Bet it sounded in […]
It was 10 years ago this weekend, when the powers that be relaunched the Fontainebleau Miami Beach with a star-studded weekend of celebration that included a Victoria’s Secret fashion, which itself featured Usher. I was there to cover the fun for Us Weekly as a stringer on the ground. I remember: I was there Friday […]
Well aren’t I glad I didn’t spend my money on the midterms. The running idea was to support non-insane, worthy-of-continued-nurture-and-guidance candidates in Georgia, Florida, and Texas (and anywhere else such a person was running) – nothing for California because California didn’t need my jack – but, in the end, I didn’t invest in that way because […]
