Arguably the nation's hottest winter event, Art Basel Miami kicks off for a four-day brou-ha-ha this Friday, December 1-4. This year, gay hotel mecca Lords South Beach will be serving you artistic realness with a cocktail-laden agenda of Happy Hours and hotel installations, kicked off last night with the likes of Amanda Lepore and Cazwell and continuing with Jake Shears, Trong G. Nguyen, and an Ice Cream Truck -- oh yeah, and some pretty incredible artwork, too. 

Read below for the hotel's full schedule of events and a chance to score some VIP passes to the Scope and Art Asia ancilliary fairs.
