Affairs of the Heart
More than 200 locals gathered in the penthouse of the Hotel Victor last Wednesday to celebrate the launch of Single and Fabulous, an exclusive social networking group designed for professionals to socialize without the pressure and awkwardness of a first date or the impersonal approach of dating Web sites, and the brainchild of Miami local Tiffany Rosen.
“I’m not trying to be a matchmaker, I don’t want the responsibility,” Rosen said. “But I just want to truly provide a place for like-minded singles to get together, experience something ‘fabulous’ and hopefully make some friends, and potentially a future partner in the process.”

Tiffany Rosen launched Single & Fabulous in the chic penthouse at the Hotel Victor. The crowd of young professionals, stylishly dressed in black and white, was treated to champagne and delectable bites. Hotel Victor's multi-level penthouse was the perfect location for the inaugural cocktail event.
Single & Fabulous members are hand picked and compiled of Miami's most fabulous, stylish and influential singles. "My hope is to offer fun and exciting adventures wherein singles can meet and enjoy each other's company," said Rosen.

A Violinist in the Metro: A MUST READ
This story is a great story. He happens to be playing with the New World Symphony this weekend. ENJOY!
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
