Welcome to Miami

So, I sat next to a male model on the plane. That was pretty hilarious.He was very nice and not too boring, if a little young (23) and we talked for hours. He helped me with my crossword.

It was funny to see all the women hitting on him (accidentally bumping into his butt when he stood up, pretending to have difficulty getting something out of the overhead compartment and then looking pointedly at him even while other men jumped out of their seats to help). But the male flight attendants were super juiced, too. At one point he stood up to go to the bathroom and one came by and said "Well aren't you lucky!" to me, pointing at his seat. Me, like the dingdong that I am, said "Oh, no, it's not an empty seat," (it was a really full flight) "he just got up" and he goes "I *know*, but he's beautiful" and I cracked up. We laughed about it when he got back, apparently it happens all the time. He explained that he used to be really uncomfortable around gay men, not having dealt with it much in Brazil, where he's from. He said he had to get used to it really quickly in the fashion industry, and now it doesn't phase him.

Ha!
