Janelle Monáe is the closest thing we have today to David Bowie. Don’t agree? All of the evidence is there: the wild fashions! The crazy characters and narratives on her albums! The high-concept concert extravaganza that is her Dirty Computer tour! The androgyny and ambiguous sexuality! Don’t you dare sleep on the ArchAndroid when she visits South Beach this summer.

Kids in the Kitchen at Dragonfly
Are you tapped out of ideas for fun things to do with your kids this summer? Take them (so long as they’re ages 8 to 12) to Doral’s Dragonfly restaurant for an interactive cooking class. Starting July 28, sessions alternate every Saturday between sushi making and baking, plus basic kitchen skills. At the end of class, kids get a meal prepared by a professional—just in case their cooking isn’t up to par yet.
Here’s a pre-game part where you won’t feel weird about flirting with strangers. American Social hosts City Football Group and Tinder for an afternoon of drinking and mingling ahead of Saturday night’s soccer match. The first 100 Tinder uses to show get a free drunk and 20 lucky winners receive tickets to the game. Hit it off with someone in the crowd and it could very well be your first official date.
Do we even have to convince you of this one? It’s Britney, bitch! She has evolved from provocative pop princess to hot mess to the Vegas-residency–holding diva queen we always knew she could be. You have three separate chances to catch her while she’s in town. This is a must-see.
