THE JET SETTERS



MIAMI SOCIAL, the latest reality-show from BRAVO about our own South Beach. Cameras follow seven of SoBe socialites as they hang out every bit of their personal, professional life and then watch them morph into party animals at night. The show does a great job of making South Beach look sexy and beautiful; and yeah if your watching the show in Kansas you would be thinking, “Wow, let me get some botox pumped into my forehead and jet-off to SoBe.” I had a photo session with three of the cast members, Ariel, Sorah and Hardy, at the roof top pool at the Gansevoort South Hotel Spa on South Beach. Up close, real nice, easy to work with and very polite, but on the show I’m not sure they would invite me into their VIP section at the club.

Then there was Paris; we spent the afternoon together at the U.S. Federal courthouse in Miami. Paris Hilton, the ultimate jet setter who probably wouldn’t invite the MIAMI SOCIAL cast into her VIP section, was being sued by film investors; who claim she failed to promote the DVD release of her 2006 film Pledge This. And with Paris, the coverage was not about the court case; it was about her choice of shoes, “what did Paris wear to court today”. I think my picture illustrates that her shoes look a size too big, a little too much room in the heel.
