How to Pretend You’re a Celebrity at Hollywood Hotel 0
Visiting Los Angeles for the first time and just dying to look like a celebrity when you head over to Hollywood? If so, you certainly aren’t the first person with such dramatic aspirations. Still, convincing a general populace so accustomed to celebrity culture that you’re among the A-List is no easy task. In order to come off as a Hollywood debutante, you need to act the part, and play it well. Start by reserving a room at a high-end luxury hotel in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, or another gleaming part of the downtown LA area, as you can’t just plaster your hand prints in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre just yet.
The reason that the high-end hotel room is so necessary is because you need to amplify your faux celebrity in a controlled manner. Strutting down Sunset Boulevard in oversized Gucci sunglasses in stilettos and a fabulous dress will only make you part of the crowd, not head and heels above it. You need to understate your approach while overstating yourself in the few appearances you make. Sending someone to the front desk to confirm your hotel reservation and having someone else carry your bags to your room is a good start. To build on that, stand in the hotel lobby with part of your face covered, and dressed in understated clothes. After all, a real celebrity wouldn’t want everyone to know what hotel she was checking into, so she wouldn’t be wearing a gown and glowing makeup reminiscent of a red carpet debut.
When you do use hotel facilities, try wearing a luxurious bathrobe and a pair of comfy, casual slippers. This will help to exude your confidence and establish your reputation as someone who feels as comfortable at a five-star resort as she does at home. The bathrobe should be plush and modern, so stick to whites or pastel colors and avoid any robes that look like they fell off the rack at Walmart and into your shopping cart.
When all else fails, have a friend approach you in fake freak-out mode while in front of a crowd, perhaps in the hotel lobby or by the pool. Her unrequited need to meet you will stoke the interest of others, and in no-time you’ll be a celebrity just by the unique ‘coincidence’ of having been recognized in your five-star seclusion.
