[Art.sy Beach Party last year at SoHo Beach House via]

The art world is shaking off its cold, wet, Sandy feathers and flying south for the winter--for a few days at least. Art Basel, which runs through the first week of December, has quickly grown to become one of the most popular events in Miami, with dozens of arts fairs and hundreds of events occurring concurrently. With so much art (and parties) to choose from, the question is: which to attend? Guest of a Guest has compiled a list of our favorites, to make your Floridian adventure an artful blast. Enjoy the week!

Everyone knows that the best Tumblrs aren't the ones with your artsy photographs, or amateur poetry, or your high school burn book. No, Tumblr is at its best when it's serving up a simple, humorous concept, preferably one that can be crowd sourced for new content so that you can be even more bitter about how little effort it took when the creators sign a six-figure book deal with Urban Outfitters.

So of course, you don't think twice before accepting the invitation to his event. But later, when you're getting ready to go, you might have a few lingering thoughts. Like, will this be weird? And then, just how freaking weird is this going to be? More»
