The White Party awaits you...
If you've been watching "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," you saw Billy hosting the white carpet arrivals at Jeffrey Sanker's White Party in Palm Springs. However, when you say "White Party," many people immediately think of the one in Miami at the fabled Vizcaya Estate. The White Party at Vizcaya is the oldest and largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser in the world. So not only do you get the chance to cavort with hot guys in various forms of undress, you also help raise money for a good cause. The event is produced by Care Resources and the money raised not only goes to provide health care, meals, and transportation for people affected by AIDS, but also supports various research and educational programs.

The White Party has grown to be a multi-day extravaganza, taking place all over South Florida (it runs from Nov. 24-29). If you've been putting off going, this is the year to make it happen since it's the last time the main event will take place at Vizcaya. Do you seriously want to miss out on going to a party at one of the most glamorous places in the world?

The sprawling estate was once the home of a wealthy industrial tycoon, James Deering, who (ahem) never married or had kids and (ahem) was a great supporter of the arts. He built the enormous Vizcaya mansion as his winter home so he could entertain friends, and the vast Italian Renaissance gardens make the perfect setting for a party! Stroll beneath the moonlight, gamble for prizes at the casino, or duck behind a tree for some private time with that special someone (or someone's). Picture going to tea dance at Versailles. So, where should you be on Saturday, Nov. 27? The White Party at Vizcaya, that's where.

Prepare to be in as little white clothing as possible days after Thanksgiving (we recommend enlisting the aid of a tapeworm or some other parasite). Whatever you choose to wear, make it glamorous -- White Party ensembles can be sensational.
