Amazingly, Hilton seemed even more airbrushed in life than on TV, her face a flawless mask of foundation, her hair an impressively stiff coif.

Whenever she answered a question, her sandal-clad foot emerged from beneath her filmy Max Azria dress and curled upward, suggesting the tiniest vulnerability in an otherwise perfect veneer of cool.

She coughed a bit, and apologized.

Why the cough?
I⿿m just getting back from three weeks of traveling . . . Tokyo, China, Korea and Russia and after this, Paris and Berlin.⿿

What took you there?
I⿿m working nonstop but I love it.

Tell us about your perfume.
It⿿s very sexy. I love the Moulin Rouge and thought this would be the perfect theme.

All the autographing must get on your nerves.
I enjoy it, actually, meeting my fans.

Paris sightings in Miami used to be frequent. No longer.
I⿿m so busy that I can only get out here when I⿿m working . . . [but] I⿿m making another album with [producer] Scott Storch, so I⿿ll be out here.

Does your work schedule allow time for fun?
I⿿m a businesswoman now. I⿿m running a huge company. And everybody grows up.

Do you like Miami?
I love the weather, the beach, the water is really nice. The Art Deco is really cool. It just has a good vibe.

Where do you eat when you⿿re here?
Nobu. News Cafe.

Where do you stay?
The Shore Club.

Where do you shop?
Scoop, because it⿿s at the hotel. And Bal Harbour.

What⿿s your wildest Miami moment?
Every time I hang out with my friends and Scott Storch. He has all the cars and yachts and all these fun toys. He definitely rules it.
