Guest List Arithmetic

Curious about the mad science that goes into the composition of a publicist's guest list? Gawker gets insider info into the socio-economic conditions that create the perfect "it" party. Reading this I couldn't help thinking that Miami is a bit different when it comes to this kind of socialite-mongering. For one thing, this is a small city with less social stratification than New York. Sure, there are velvet ropes and clipboards but the rules are less rigid - observe the cross-section of Miami society at any Ocean Drive party and it is clear that bank accounts and orbits of connectedness are irrelevant if you can shake your booty, have a good time and - of course - photograph well.
