Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

This week Art Basel takes #FirstWorldProblems to a whole other level. Celebutantes and wannabe Miami hotshots have taken to complaining (ironically or not) on Twitter about how miserable a weekend full of art is making their lives. So we decided to do a little top ten roundup of the most ridiculous — and, okay, funny — #ArtBaselProblems.

I can’t seem to find my invite to the #Prada store opening in Design District in my inbox…anyone else having that issue? #artbaselproblems— Jose Resendez™ (@JoseResendez) November 28, 2012

Trying to incorporate color into my all black wardrobe for #artbasel. #artbaselproblems— Art Basel Problems (@ArtBaselProblem) December 3, 2012
It’s a fact: All artists (and wannabes) live tortured lives. The proof is in the black clothing. Lest we forget that wannabe artists can be tortured too.
Not having tanned legs for Miami #artbaselproblems @artbaselproblem— Samantha Goldworm (@1229journal) December 3, 2012

Champagne cleansing till Basel #artbaselproblems— NYC Doorman (@NYDoorman) November 29, 2012
What exactly is a “Champagne cleanse,” and why would you do it? Have you been binging on Dom Perignon? Maybe Moet? Certainly Cristal.
