I recently attended SWANK: A Mad Tea Party @ Bass Museum of Art, and let me tell you, they put on a hell of a party down there, inviting DJ Lauren A. for dancing on the Museum's terrace, mini cupcakes like those Alice was served during the 'tea party' (passed around on cool lit-up white square trays), and tropical cocktails instead of tea. The party was a blast, with eclectic music that kept everyone moving and shouting for a few words. The Bass put together a group of very interesting artists to help us travel down Alice's rabbit hole, including Miami designers Karelle Levy for the Mad costumes, and Cindy Borjas of Rella Jewelry. Installation in the Bass Cafe created by local designers Blanco and Jurgen looked amazing, and made me feel like Alice herself! Robert Wilson's VOOM Portraits were displayed on life size flat panel TV's. The famous characters in the portraits appeared still at first, but then you would see an eye blink, a hand move, or simply a dog breathe heavily...so cool! See my slideshow for party pics!
