There are many reasons we really want to go to Art Basel in Miami. From (of course) the art to the beyond chic crowd and parties. And just the general fun one can have in sunny Miami because you know, “Miami, Miami, you’ve got style. Blue skies, sunshine, white sand by the mile…” (If you get that reference, we’re pretty much automatically friends.)

But I digress. We just learned about another cool thing that will be at the upcoming Art Basel: a super swanky vending machine at the Mondrian Hotel filled with special edition goodies curated by Interview magazine.

Inside you’ll find this Pringle of Scotland t-shirt (pictured) designed by artist David Shrigley, hand-drawn Vena Cava shoes, art from the Gossip Girl set, old archival issues of Interview, and even an out-of-print copy of the Fabien Baron art directed Madonna Sex book.

So much better than the Doritos and Snickers you usually find in a vending machine.

Our favorite Project Runway moment came two seasons ago, when Santino Rice’s lingerie got slammed by Michael Kors. “I think it’s not very sophisticated,” said the designer. “I think lingerie’s supposed to come off, is what I think!” shrieked Santino.

But that’s part of the problem.

We know some girls who can’t bear to strip in anything but designer bras. There’s an entire industry to back them up - Agent Provocateur, Kiki de Montparnasse, Catriona MacKechnie, all with panties that cost more than James Jeans (or, yes, champagne!).

We know a lot of girls who aren’t confident at parties unless they have expensive handbags or killer high shoes. But is there also a tribe of women who can’t perform in the bedroom unless their lingerie is runway quality?

Personally, we’re a big fan of t-shirt bras and tie-dye undies (and sorry if that was an overshare). But there’s got to be something sustaining the million-dollar industry of very expensive underthings. Is Agent Provocateur like Viagra for fashion girls?

There’s nothing more satisfying than finding that dress you’ve been eyeing for a great price. Not even…sex? According to the U.K. Daily Mail, four in ten British women surveyed preferred shopping to sex.

At first, we were kind of surprised by the statistics.

Then we remembered a crucial detail: England is the home of Topshop, the greatest store on earth! And from our assessment of the guys in London, Topshop dresses are by far cuter than the average British bloke.

Faran wants to know if you’d rather be pretty or in a relationship, but we’re curious – could you hold out longer without shopping or without sex?
