It happens fast. Twenty-five seconds to be exact. You’re in a car, driving around, when you suddenly spot her. She’s wrapped tightly in cellophane to a sign pointing to South Beach. She doesn’t struggle. She looks at every passing car without even a hint of embarrassment. Is it some sort…

If there’s one upside to the Winter Music Conference/Ultra Music Festival split, it’s that instead of one week of solid partying, Miami now gets two. The constant hangovers will be rough, but that’s why we have children later in life, no? And just as you were coming down from your…
