Say goodbye to 2011 Miami. This Saturday night is New Years Eve, and what better way to spend it than breaking all of last years resolutions. New Years Eve is an evening to smoke that last cigarette, drink cocktails, flirt with whomever you choose, stay out till dawn or hit up a crazy after hours. THIS IS YOUR NIGHT TO RAGE, and who better than us to tell you just where to go and how to do it with style. Here is WFK’s TOP 6 PICKS for a New Years Eve filled with debauchery, music and champagne of course!

 Countdown…

6.  Our 6th pick takes place at our favorite local dark spot. Bardot is a smaller venue where personal intimate music can be heard. Don’t let it fool you though, parties here can get pretty rowdy come 2 am and the DJ is getting the floor steamy. New Years Eve they have a very special night planned for their patrons. The young hot and loveable Cris Cab will be performing. He is barely legal and full of talent with a voice that can melt all the ice cubes in your drink. If you want to spend the night getting tipsy and swaying to his original tracks Bardot is the place to go. Not to mention Tony G will be spinning nothing but the hits right after Cris is done serenading you and your date. Tickets are $20 online HERE

They are obviously feeling sexy and tempting at Cafeina this New Years because their theme is all about mystery, secret society, decadence, and SEX. Yes, you can expect complimentary masks to conceal your identity at the door, flowing glasses of champagne and perhaps a secret romp with a guest of your choice somewhere in their maze of lust. To put you in the mood Dj’s  Supersede and Santiago Caballero will be spinning nothing but sexy tunes. The tickets are $90 in advance and $120 at the door.

CRAVE YOU by mokilynn featuring a gold cocktail ring

Power Corruption & Lies by mokilynn featuring printed scarves

“Frankly my Dear… I don’t Give a DAMN” by mokilynn featuring studded shorts

1. Thou shall not go to galleries just for the alcohol …….. it’s ART Basel not a pub crawl.

2. Thou shall RSVP to as many events as possible……. leave your options open in case something doesn’t go as planned.

3. Thou shall not take your car out to Wynwood events……. parking is a NIGHTMARE..try to leave your car at a friends house who lives near by.

4. Thou shall dress to the nines if you plan on getting into any shi shi parties like Le Baron ……. Don’t fuck around with fashion when it comes to the French.

5. Thou shall take in at least one large art fair…. Art in the masses is amazing and you’ll get to see more all in one trip.

6. Thou shall not arrive 30 minutes late to events or performances……. it’s rude and Art Basel is an international event, it doesn’t run on Cuban time.

7. Thou shall not touch the Art……. haven’t you any education what so ever?!

8. Thou shall wear the comfiest stylish shoes you own…… you don’t want ungodly blisters before Friday’s festivities even arrive.

9. Thou shall prepare for crisp weather……. It’s going to be cool this weekend, don’t be caught without a cute jacket.

10. Thou shall not try to crash parties you KNOW you can not get in to…….. being denied  in front of a bunch of important artist types is N.A.G.L (see sliktionary)

Smile Miami, Art Basel is around the corner! Every year artists from all over the world invade Miami and bring with them a multitude of color, paint, sculpture, design, photos, videos, and anything above and beyond the norm. Start making up a good excuse to miss work because the first week of December is going to be a free for all. Being that there are hundreds of different galleries to go to and parties to attend, we here at WFK are going to give you the skinny on the best of the best so you can take a bite out of Art Basel. Get ready for a mouthful.
