The Greatest Art Basel Party in the History of Mankind via VanityFair
This excellent piece was written by Martin Marks and starts with a great opening:
“On behalf of HSBC Bank, Fiji Water, the Government of Finland, and the Edible Arrangements Corporation of North America, you are cordially invited to the greatest Art Basel Miami Beach party in the history of mankind. Humanity has yet to behold such a truly magnificent party, with a gathering of luminaries, celebrities, socialites, sociables, sociopaths, bons vivants, and hangers-on, the likes of which haven’t convened since the sinking of the Titanic.”
… and ends with an even greater closing:
“Please R.S.V.P. yesterday; this invitation is non-transferable, and is for you and a guest (who has won an Academy Award and/or a MacArthur Genius Grant). Please submit an 8 x 10 glossy and the original title of your favorite Swiss-German fairy tale along with your 2005 tax return. Iris scans/tissue typing at the door.”
