Who to Aspire to Be and When

I am a strong believer in the complexity of people. It is next to impossible to describe anyone in three words because from second to second we are a million different people. Unlike the average person who lives their life in the norm, socialites and celebrities show their many sides in the public eye. In every aspect of your socialite life, you should be the best of the best.

Here I give you every Aspiring Socialite’s guide to which socialites/celebrities to emulate and in what situation.

On the party scene: Though she is so much more, Paris Hilton is the ultimate party girl who knows how to get photographed at every A-list event.  Instead of cocktails, this heiress likes to down red bulls to keep up her energy late into the night.

When meeting your boyfriend’s parents: Known as America’s Sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon is the potential daughter-in-law every parent dreams about.  In fact, I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t love Reese Witherspoon or doesn’t want to be her best friend.

When launching your line: Kim Kardashian along with the rest of the Kardashian Klan have business ventures worth millions.  Their empire stretches from fashion, to fragrances, to reality TV, magazine covers, and much more.  So when it comes to being a businesswoman, take a hint from the Kardashians.

On an interview: Weather you are on a job interview or being interviewed by the ladies of The View, you need the royal presence and poise of Kate Middleton.  The Duchess of Cambridge may also be a great person to imitate on the catwalk.  Not only is she a fashion icon, but everyone knows she landed her prince while modeling a sheer number in a charity fashion show back at St. Andrews.

Though it is always important to make your own path and not focus on becoming like one person alone, mixing the best qualities of the rich and famous into one can be your one way ticket to high society.

Discovering Your Socialite Alter Ego

Unless you are already a long-established member of the A-list, getting into the hottest parties over the holidays can be quite difficult. With the Hamptons frozen over and commitments being a minimum, the shopping and club scenes of NYC are undisputedly at their craziest. This year, as you are revamping your wardrobe at the after Christmas sales, I suggest you begin the process of discovering your socialite “alter ego” which in Latin means “the other I.”  Sure Christina Aguilera has Xtina and Beyonce identifies with Sasha Fierce, but for those aspiring, an existing celebrity, preferably a current socialite, is a far better choice to be your second identity.

Finding the correct alter ego A-Lister is a total confidence boost.  Plus, but if the bouncer at a club is giving you a hard time you can always pretend to be their cousin or something.  You never know, it could work and if it doesn’t, pretending to be someone you are not for the night is still a fun stunt to pull.  This idea came to me over Christmas dinner when I looked at my mother across the table and realized that her hair looks exactly like Kris Jenner’s.  Having a mother who resembles one of the most famous moms in Hollywood, must make me an almost socialite.  Put my mom in L.A. for a couple of days and she would practically be Mrs. Jenner’s twin. With the Kardashains on my mind, I then looked to the other side of the table and thought I was looking at Kourtney Kardashain, but it was actually my little sister, Caroline (only she actually dates a very nice guy.)  I guess I am the odd one out because instead of being a distorted mirror image of Kris Jenner’s daughter, our favorite dark-haired socialite, Kim Kardashian, my socialite alter ego is none other than Nicky Hilton.
