As promised, we've got more Basel updates for you in both written and visual form. First up on the schedule yesterday was the MoMA JA Sunset Cocktail Party held at the Mondrian SoBe sunset lounge where party-goers sipped Kanon cocktails while enjoying the afternoon's entertainment: a Kim Kardashian Kontest presented by Dis Magazine. While the real Kim K was nowhere to be found, plenty of curvy look-alikes packed the party to compete for the ultimate title. But our favorite part was running into so many familiar New York faces throughout the evening including FOKs Kate Foley and Steven Rojas, Phil Oh of Street Peeper, and Mike Nouveau to name a few.
If we had thought the Kim Kardashian contest was the strangest thing we'd seen all day, those thoughts were quickly put to rest by the gaggle of male and female body builders that were acting as human art at the next event on our agenda: The Norwood's pop-up soiree. We had a blast taking in the live graffiti creations while sipping on our own special 'Hit and Run' libations for the night: a mix of Kanon, St. Germain, fresh lime juice, muddled cucumber, and muddled melon.
To top off the day, we made one last pitstop at the Westway's late-night party at the Shore Club, which has become somewhat of an Art Basel staple this week. To get a feel for the madness yourself, click through all the photos above.
