[Antisteez Desktop Calendar 2012]: Candace Meyer | FEBRUARY

Born in Manhattan, raised everywhere, Candace Meyer prides herself in the uniqueness of her entity. Raised by Broadway star Wanda Richert, coupled with her father’s influence in videography and production, she really didn’t know any life other than that of an artist’s. At age 14, she dove into hip hop and started writing rhymes paired with soulful melodies. By the time that 2006 Ultra Music Festival rolled around, she realized that there was more to her music than heavy, dark booms... Read More →

[Antisteez Desktop Calendar 2012]: Steven A. Clark | FEBRUARY

Steven A. Clark is a man of little words. He was born in Arkansas and raised in North Carolina but is now a proud member of the 305′s musical community. Sure, February may be about cupid’s arrow with the hearts and chocolates following us around for weeks now… but this singer and songwriter isn’t about that sugar-coated profession of love. His smiles are furtive. His emotions guarded. Listen closely to his lyrics, pay close attention to his performances and you may just discover... Read More →

[Antisteez Desktop Calendar 2012]: Meet Mr. & Ms. January

If you are reading this, congratulations! It appears that you survived New Years! Oh, and if you are reading this, good luck. 2012 is here and it is rumored that no one is surviving this year.

(Don’t get excited. This is not a Mayan calendar. We don’t know when the actual end of days... Read More →

Friends of the Miami-Dade Public Library Need Your Help To Keep The Goods Stocked

Every year the public libraries face more and more budget cuts. Which means for readers like us, fewer new books are purchased, important programs to keep our kids reading are cut and advocacy programs for adult literacy receive less funding. The library system needs all the help they can get and none more-so than our very own. With so much strife and turmoil taking place within Miami-Dade county government it’s almost impossible for anyone to find the time to give a damn about our libraries... Read More →

Review: Betsey Johnson Fashion Show @ Grand Central

Anchors, fishing nets, and lifeboats: no, this was not a boat show, although a nice tugboat would’ve been pretty awesome.

The nautical-inspired soirée featured Betsey Johnson’s latest spring/summer collection and honestly, what city could be better for this? The weather already hit 90 degrees this month. The epic Grand Central stage connected to a long runway that stretched over the club’s dance floor.... Read More →

Fashion Show Review: Fox House Clothing at The Stage, February 10th

For the modern woman with a distinctive style, the clothing they wear is an essential mode of self-expression. Even for the grab-and-go type of girl, everyone looks for one element that makes them stand out. To develop the concept for her site, Tobi Salver said, The name Fox was derived from the fact that they are not pack animals and are opportunistic feeders; which translates into what I want my clothes to represent: individuality and uniqueness for the women who wear them.

Urban Outfitters

Now that all the gift-giving anxiety about what to get your best-friend, co-worker, or any other hyphenated next of kin is over, the next cause for panic is New Year’s Eve. Admit it. You’ve stood in front of the closet, an hour before the party started, and uttered the words: “What do I wear?” Granted some of us are retentive planners and compulsive to-do list makers, who already have an outfit with complementary accessories ready and... Read More →
