​Welcome to 2011! Depending on how you look at it, you might be excited because it's a new slate to improve your life and be a better person, or it could fill you with anxiety and woe.

Personally, I like my cup full, then empty, then full again. Which brings us to something else that accompanies every new year: resolutions. Who hasn't woken up beside the porcelain god on New Year's day, bleary eyed, queasy, maybe missing a tooth, a live tiger in the bathroom and wondering when the room's going to stop spinning, then said, "I swear, I'm never doing that again!"

​Rewind your Walkman to Friday's totally '80s birthday party for aged-to-perfection Brian Antoni and Nick D'Annunzio at the The Viceroy at Club 50. This duo teamed up on a mission to resurrect their '80s glory days. One of the headline names was enough to drag me across the bridge − I rolled in solo, considering my date got drunk and passed out before the party even started (hey Noah − call me). No worries, I called in the b-team and it was game on. In no time I was elbow deep in party favors (and not the ones being passed around in the crowded bathroom stalls) including a hand fan baring a photo of Nick in an aggressive V-neck and a pair of Wayfarer '80s shades embezzled with Brian Antoni's name. I had arrived.

Cue the Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Michael Jackson and Mr. T impersonators and rad '80s beats. Good thing I'm a fan of the '80s jams (David Bowie, you're my hero − call me). I was impressed that the entire place was packed (they're saying more than 1,000 showed) and though the party requested '80s attire and most obliged, it really didn't feel fashionably different than any other night in Miami. First lady of the party, Tara Solomon, was decked to the eighties nines − I've seen this woman pull off fishnet stockings at noon on a Tuesday so it was no surprise she was making the '80s thing work.
