Loulou Lays Low

It's very hard going incognito, even in a smaller city like Daytona Beach. For one thing, I have discovered that here, my clothes are kind of conspicuous. In New York City, you could walk around town dressed as a Christmas tree and no one would even notice! Not that Loulou would ever do that! (I dressed as a poinsettia plant for a Christmas costume party once, but that was totally different. For one thing, it was red, not green, a color that is not at all Loulou-friendly. Also it was couture!) Anyway, it's so hard for Loulou to blend in. For example, some of my outfits are getting some unwanted attention here, hard as I try to keep a low profile.
Just yesterday, not wanting to draw too much attention to myself, I hit the beach with my cousin! Wanting to protect my delicate skin from the blazing Florida sun and to go undercover, I decided to wear something subtle and flowy, rather than the showy bikini I had packed. So I chose this soft, silky Cavalli kaftan.

I don't know what caused that ice cream truck to veer off its path and nearly hit those teenagers, or

why those German tourists were taking all those pictures. Maybe they thought I was Eva Longoria. (I get that all the time, and I am very flattered even though I never, ever plan on being 30. By the time I get anywhere near that number, I am sure they will have a cream that cures aging and birthdays and all that nonsense!) Since the kaftan was so discreet, I can only conclude that it was the hat that caused such a stir. I personally thought my Philip Treacy sun hat was the perfect accessory for the dress!

No, it couldn't have been the hat! After all, it's Florida, where sun hats are as commonplace as sunscreen! Maybe it was my beach bag? I know it was last season's Juicy bag, but I couldn't find this season's. I'm sure it's buried under the avalance of bags that hit me as I was frantically packing to leave town!

No, everyone in Florida has a beach bag! I really don't know what it could have been... But I plan to get to the bottom of this! I'm sure those unfortunately-dressed German tourists were really paparazzi in disguise, and I can't afford any more publicity right now!
