LA DOLCE VITA
December 31 beginning at 7 p.m.
Your life is in shambles because the woman you love lived decades before you could cross paths. Glamourous waves of gold atop her head, cheekbones so sharp they sliced your heart from a different era – nobody in this century quite understands your obsession with Cary Grant and Slapstick like she does! This New Year’s Eve Bâoli Miami is giving you, the gentleman in the wrong era, the chance to relive The Golden Age of Hollywood with all its glitz, glamour and allure of Italian sophistication — and maybe a chance to kiss the woman of your film-inspired dreams. Taking a page from La Dolce Vita, Bâoli Miami is planning a fabulous soiree with music by DJ Gil from Cannes. Get in the spirit – women should emulate the bombshell film queens of the 1960s, and men should sport tuxedos or fashionable Italian suits. Dinner reservations are suggested; limited tickets are available for those with no dinner reservations and include a complimentary glass of champagne along party favors.
