So, remember how I said I went to Miami this weekend for a day?  It all happened so quickly that I barely remember the actual trip!  Note to self…flying across the country for less than 24 hours is not reeeally worth it, unless Eddie Vedder will be waiting for you when you disembark.  I was invited by Nivea to attend the Shay Todd fashion show, and stayed at the Hotel de Soleil on Ocean Drive.  After the show, I went to the after party at Mokai, and then (randomly!) encountered a dear old friend at Set.  I’m working with Nivea to have a giveaway for you, so I should have those details Friday…stay tuned!

Hotel balcony - with private jacuzzi!  No time to enjoy it, alas

Me, at the Shay Todd show.  I started off the evening with sleek, straight hair.  Five minutes later, I kid you not, I ran back to my hotel room to find a rubber band and put it in a ponytail.  How I ever survived south Florida summers, I shall never know.  (Oh, right, because I fled!)

Friends at Set

I mean, really.  I don’t get it.  I’m sure they are positively lovely boys, and they’re certainly well-groomed, and maybe they can even sing (I’ve never heard any of their songs, and I wouldn’t be too sad if it stayed that way).  I’d like to think, however, that if I were a nine-year-old girl, I’d have better taste.  Just sayin’.

Of course, as Jolie started thinking about teenage girls and heartthrobs, she took a walk down memory lane and remembered her own first crush.  I loved him.  I adored him.  I knew we were meant to be together.  (Um, I was also about seven.)
