To Night Culture
You emerge on the scene all shiny and new and mysterious
First, you must Work a look.

A

Tall. Gorgeous and Slim always wins. If you have doubts, that's what make-up is for (gender notwithstanding) and then there's always surgery! You can dress down cause then you can give a very strong "I'm so gorgeous I don't even have to bother" ambiance. Do a good pair of leather or velvet jeans(let em presume its Gucci), a white Hanes T, a beer in one hand a cigarette in the other, that's it. You're some kind of /model/actor/performer/thing. Pull your cell phone out at The Beauty Bar and throw a mini-tantrum on the order of " I am not flying to Copenhagen . I just got here. I'm still fucking jet lagged. What do you think I am --- a soup can. I'm human y'know" and then burst into tears. Make sure its real dark so no-one gleans that the phone is fake. You'll be the mysterious new boy/girl in town.
 

B

If tall/gorgeous/slim is not a reasonable visual for you to do emanate a foreign and exotic aura. complete with indeterminable accent . When people say where are you from say, "I were born here but I was raised in Saudi Arabia, Ireland and Trinidad." and then they'll go "Oh so that's where you get that international accent from."
  Communicate with your wardrobe .Right this minute something Prada or Gucci means its over for you (-this is a good thing). Shoes are the anchor of style so invest heavily (Manolo Blahnik, Patrick Cox, Stephane Kelian, Casedi, Bruno Magli, Chanel). Wear an upscale perfume/cologne and a vintage silk scarf of a certain pedigree--you know Gucci, Pucci or Fiorucci. In response to the inevitable "So what do you do?" say "I'm a producer.' If they go "Really What kind of stuff do you produce" -if this is a film/TV party then you produce---films. If this is a music party then you produce--music. If it's fashion or art then---you get the picture. Have a screenplay/demo/ portfolio lying around back at your duplex(they don't have to know you're only apartment sitting) . Someone will repeat what it is you "do" with the suitable air of awe. (This is Sean Bossidy. She's an art producer). Win promoters over by telling them you're opening a chic boite in LA and you're looking to fly them over to oversee the opening night festivities. You'll be drowning in comps and drinks.
