After putting my fingers away for the past year, I decided it’s time to start typing again. So much has happened to me and I decided the most cathartic way to get rid of all the bad energy is to write it down. I have never bought my own laptop. My ex husband was so generous to buy me one many years ago, but it’s time to move into 2010 with an amazing writing vehicle.  Wish me luck with my new MacBook Pro. If you have any ideas for me tweet me @kikilet. Wish me luck!

Pinch me. I was invited by Madison Square Garden and Venus Williams to receive the first ticket for The Billie Jean King Tournament back in November. I have had the honor to know both Venus and her sister for quite some time now. I was so excited to introduce Sea to such an accomplished athlete. And now I am sitting on the floor of Madison Square Garden watching probably one of the most amazing athletic performances of my life. While wearing a diamond ring, Venus exhibited athleticism and professionalism. To be honest, I am going to be even more grateful for every opportunity that comes my way. I was inspired by Venus not because she won, but because she has more integrity than any woman I have ever been exposed to. It’s not about press, it’s not about media attention, it’s about hard solid work. These are the leaders of tomorrow, not those who manipulate the media, but about those who work really really hard to accomplish their dreams.

What do food, wine, and PLAYBOY  have to do with each other? If you were at LIV nightclub at the Fontainebleau in Miami on Friday night you would know. Uber chef Bobby Flay and other Food Network stars such as Claire Robinson and Anne Burrell celebrated my PLAYBOY cover and rocked with me to the sounds REV RUN played. I actually got to stand in the DJ booth with him as he showed Miami what real music sounded like. RUN’s wife, Justine, joined us for dinner with me and we got to converse about rearing kids and being on TV. If you haven’t seen Justine’s jewelry line, check it out on HSN. Justine is my kind of woman: a great mom, a wonderful wife, and an entrepreneur. I am proud to have her as one of my friends!

The weather wasn’t its typical Miami heat, but I did get a chance to run on the beach, enjoy the sun and sand, drink blueberry lemonades by the pool, and walk around Lincoln Road. I also was lucky enough to see Rachel Ray’s husband [John Cusimano] perform, hang out in the kitchen at Scarlett with cooking hunk Rocco Di Spirito, and relax late night at 212 where all the uber foodies were. Daniel Boulud was actually cooking eggs!

Thank you Miami for all the food and fun. I have to pinch myself, for I am so lucky to share all of these amazing opportunities with my friends. Thank you all for supporting every leap of faith. From my first modelling job at 16, to my PLAYBOY cover, I am so grateful for every opportunity and will continue to be.

When I am not Super Mom and driving the girls all over the city to their activities, I am in the press mode for my March Playboy cover and the new season of RHNYC.

I was invited to a Three Olives vodka party hosted by Khloe Kardashian. It was a rainy cold night and the girls wanted me to stay home for a popcorn party and french quiz (I test them in french as a fun way to keep the language going), but I went to the party for a quick hour after they went to bed. I posed with oranges (not hot guys, yes oranges) and spoke to press about RHNYC. Everyone asks me the same questions. The plots of RHNYC are hilarious, but I don’t like to speak ill of the other housewives for I don’t know them out of filming and it’s not fair to judge off a filmed scenerio. So, I always keep quiet. Thanks mom and dad for the good breeding. Oof.

I walked over to say hi to Khloe and we spoke about her family and Miami. I was then interrupted, and instead of trying to compete, I excused myself. Sometimes, it’s just not worth it. Thanks Khloe for having me, and we will definitely have dinner when you get back.

Btw, the Three Olives cherry is so yummy and potent. Nothing worse than cheap watery alcohol. This, I would actually drink again.

Last weekend I was invited to go to Las Vegas for the new Viva ELVIS by Cirque du Soleil show at Aria hotel. It was insane to be in the same theatre as Neal Patrick Harris, Christina Hendricks, Wynonna Judd, and Regis Philban all among other super well known celebs. When I got the chance to talk to them I forgot that in fact I did not know them, I have only seen them on TV. I had to laugh realizing they were complete strangers!

After the amazing show and private dinner for 35 at Sirio (who had the most delicious and fresh fish) we all went to HAZE and I hit a wall. It was 12pm Vegas time, and I couldn’t stay awake despite all the oxygen they pump into the casinos. Besides, the next day I had a book signing and I was more excited about that than endless Vodka and RedBull.

630am. Wham. I couldn’t sleep for the life of me. I was up, even my eyes were wide awake. Something is definitely in the air. I went on a run around Vegas and down the strip. It is definitely the adult Disney and I spotted a few places such as Diablos, that I decided I had to hit before leaving.

At City Center (which in my opinion is the chicest mall in the country), I had my Assouline book signing for my three books: In the Spirit of the Hamptons, the Bikini Book, and American Style. It was so flattering to have so many people come and celebrate my books and my Playboy cover. We even had a Playboy bunny as a waitress!

After the signing, I went directly to Diablos to try the Hurricane. Malibu, Tequila, and some special concoction. It was delicious and ginormous.

After a quick change, I went to the Venetian/Palazzo to the champagne bar to sit and relax for a second. Gambling stimulated me, and now yummy bubbly relaxed me.

I then went to Lavo for dinner. The Caesar salad was one of the best I have ever had. The seafood platter was never ending, and the seabass tasted as yummy as butter.

We then went to the club and danced like crazy in a packed club filled with the most beautiful dancers, two girls were dancing in a tub!!

Vegas was non stop excitement. I can’t wait to go back. Work hard, play hard.
