For those residing in the 305 the trek to Revolution Live in Ft.Lauderdale may seem like a road trip in itself, but last Friday the miles and gas dollars were worth it. We realized quickly we weren’t in Kansas (read: Miami) anymore as the 954 doesn’t have our propensity to be fashionably late, so we unfortunately missed Garcia, Omniscient and AG Lyonz who hit the stage promptly at 9pm. But they hung around with DJ Klassick spinning for the rest of the night until Freddie Gibbs and The... Read More →
Poetry and bongos, man. Poetry and bongos … In the 50′s “Beatnik” evolved as a media-induced caricature of the ideals presented by the Beat Generation. Stereotyping the individual members of the movement, it became a word synonymous with barrette wearing, poetry reading, cigarette smoking commies. Yo Miami is taking the word back for the people with their new jazz, blues, and hookah infused evening at The Stage. A mash-up of jazz and blues musicians will be brought into the... Read More →
If you live in the 305, you should be familiar with the abbreviation “PLP”. If you are not then we know someone who can illuminate its meaning for you and that person is Pepe Billete.

Danny Ae, 27, is a staple at the Fetish Factory and one of my favorite subjects so far in our monthly calendar shoots. Clad in leather and latex, he handled the farm animals, heat and walking around barefoot and stepping in piles of animal, um, magic with grace and dignity just to get this shot. The Colombian native came to Miami 12 years ago and told us that he found himself when he happened upon the fetish scene. He started dancing, modeling, performing a few years ago and says he is helping... Read More →
Val, 27, made her start in the Goth/Industrial scene dancing at Miami’s “The Morgue”. She describes their world as the kind of place “you can be who ever you want to be.” Which made her a prime candidate for a company which gave birth to the fetish community in South Florida- Fetish Factory. For the Argentinian the second the lights go on and the whip comes out she’s right where she needs to be. Being one of Fetish Factory’s lead entertainers and organizers... Read More →
