After many years of research, you’ve convinced yourself that the bull-doggish bouncers manning the velvet ropes at Privé would never let you slink into the ubër-exclusive spot. With your own eyes, you’ve seen them leave half of the Miami Heat begging to enter, and you couldn’t make a layup if your life depended on it! Don’t fret -- Fashion Fridays just might be your ticket in. No, you don’t have to be draped in Balenciaga threads or teetering on Louboutin stilettos; just come dressed to impress for this runway/fashion industry-theme party.

Each week a fashion icon holds court on one of the plush VIP couches. Act right and you might pick up a few tips on what not to wear. But first thing’s first; to get through the front door, you need a golden ticket: promoter Juan Zelaya. Call 305-401-3675, or e-mail him at jz@nokent.com for free admission. It’ll cost ya $20 if you’re not on the guest list. The club gets pumping at 10 p.m.
Fridays, 2008
