I entered CVS yesterday morning at 8:30 AM and ran into Pink Lady. This is one of those characters of South Beach; he always dresses in pink and this is one of the more conservative outfits (pink, pleated miniskirts are the preferred mode). He walks around at high noon collecting gee-gaws used to make the stunning headdresses he hopes to some day sell to stage productions. Oh, yes, and he lives in a self-made treehouse off of Haulover Beach; neighbors delight in reporting his descent from the tree every morning in full, pink attire. It was telling that I ran into Pink Lady at the cosmetics counter; I'm sure he taught those girls a thing or two.
