On the first course I very much wished to be the secular journalist. But on a twist of fate became news. Cosmo has presented to me chance to execute dream of a youth: on two weeks I have plunged into high life of Moscow. STAR BIRTH
In edition to me have handed over a chubby envelope with invitations to life holidays. Here there were both invited suppers, and morning бранчи, both opening of boutiques, and anniversaries of the solid companies. Any additional instructions to me have not given, so I conducted the high life as was able. The unique editorial condition – to go on all secular actions in daily clothes, and only on last issue I was expected by magic transformation from замухрышки in a secular lioness. Time has gone!
DEBUT ALBUM .jpg)
Thursday. The presentation of new show Comedy Club has been appointed to seven o'clock in the evening in one of дорогущих two-storeyed Chinese restaurants of Moscow “Festival in China”.
The first error made by me – occurrence at evening later 30 minutes after the declared beginning. More precisely so: only later 30 minutes. The presentation has begun in two hours after declared time of gathering of visitors.
On an input there were two girls who are responsible for reception of visitors. The first has taken an interest: “At you the invitation or you in the list of the accredited press?” Not without pride I answer: "Invitation". – "Pass". Surprisingly, but for all evening anybody even has not looked at this invitation. I come.
On the right – girls-zajchiki with satiny ears are photographed with the excited men. At the left – Chinese women throw pink petals of entering visitors. Before me – the worrying and waving sea from secular lionesses. There there were such girls, such! Leaders musical (and not only) channels, fashion designers, пиарщицы, influential proprietresses of galleries. Accurate bangs, an impudent sight and sharp elbows.
The fashion designer and like main редакторша any magazine (though I am not assured) discuss, what varnished bag is better – Chanel or Dior.
By the way, I only have understood now, all these brands, boutiques and spiritless materialism what for are necessary. Same an excellent way to talk to strangers with which to talk there is nothing! “It Fendi? Oh, what pretty model!” Conversation on things – the integral part of etiquette gaining even the most constraining beginners of party.
And in general ideal party – that, in which you the. If is not present, to you remains nothing how to heat idleness and silence in a glass of vanilla liquor. Well or in a plate with meal. By the way, about it. I was hungry. Has approached to tables from a canape. Wished to take crackling corn чипсу as has suddenly seen on it a cockroach! My God, such expensive restaurant – and such shame. And then one more! And still! It appears, these are any specially brought for an entertainment деликатесные cockroaches. I have more attentively got accustomed to other dishes: that seemed to me pork in sweet sauce, has appeared the frog pads, and scorpions on salad leaves were the presents! The approached young man safely took one and has bitten off unfortunate a head.
– Try, it is very tasty! Where still the present scorpion will eat?
On the next plate the armour of a sea turtle laid. Empty. Already empty. Appetite was gone. I take the second glass with vanilla liquor and I go further. I feel on myself long man's sights, but at all I do not understand, what with them to do – to break, keep, return? I am confused and follow champagne. In a week these of flight behind alcohol will start me to guard seriously.
Rule number one which I have understood in a debut of the high life: if it is hungry – come before. The most tasty (well or more or less edible) assort at once. Otherwise it is necessary to be limited to alcohol on a hungry stomach, and it is fraught with consequences!
Trace I have drawn the second conclusion: the more you know people (or at least learn), the more confidently yourself feel. Here, for example, the telestar the Aurora. Nearby – Ирена For fun. And if I was the lonely poor girl has necessarily paid attention to the broad-shouldered young man who costs nearby фуршетного a table and twirls in a hand a toothpick. After all it not stylist any there or the advertisement maker. He/she is the hockey player, star NHL and a Russian national team Alexander Ovechkin. When to it was 19, its annual income made 5 million dollars, now to Alexander 22 years. It is not bad itself(himself) and, apparently, grieves for silent family happiness. And only делов: to approach to ask the autograph. About my God, apparently, he on me looks. But I married. I will better follow a new cocktail.
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS
Friday promised to be difficult, I should visit at once two actions: a solemn supper on the occasion of opening of shopping centre and anniversary of one cosmetic company. Now it was necessary to solve the equation: if anniversary begins at 18.00, and a supper – at 19.00, when and where it is necessary to be? At first for an anniversary, and then for a supper. The answer incorrect. At first for a supper, and then for an anniversary! Why? Because company birthday – event serious which hardly will end in two hours after the beginning. And during a solemn supper it is necessary to have time to take a convenient place and to try all the most tasty.
The supper has appeared boring and tiresome. Any organizers of a celebration acted, but under a ladder there was a bar with delightful мохито and strawberry champagne. There I also have finished evening, if not the second party on which I should call in too. As soon as show business stars maintain a similar rhythm? It is good to have fun when it would be desirable, instead of when should (promised, it is obliged).
For an anniversary of the company which began at 18.00, I have arrived at 21.00. At an input in a pathos night club I was met only by security guards, even the PR-girls usually checking visitors under lists and invitations, were not trampled down any more at doors. By the way, the invitation I to take have forgotten.
On call of the security guard there was a pretty girl.
– You are in the list?
– Yes, that is is not present. I had an invitation, but I have forgotten it. I was called by the mister … Косметичкин.
– I in the company recently, not know all. Now I will specify.
In 10 minutes me have passed! Perhaps invented Косметичкин it has appeared real? Or has worked a rule: it is unimportant, whether there is at you an invitation, main, what you have come to the necessary place and time?
It was not secular evening, and a corporate party where all have fun as mad because a holiday of times in a year. I have taken places in a dark corner of someone's little table, on a scene there was an invited star Jeanne Friske.
While I ate greedily каперсы and examined Jeanne, to me on mind one more rule of high life has come: the party steepness is defined by the sum of a steepness of the arrived visitors.
GALLOP ACROSS EUROPE
 | … and only on last exit
To the public it will change.
As they say, feel a difference! |
Jumps have appeared the most serious test. On mine (is more exact, magnanimously given to me for the sake of this experiment by Lena Васильевой) the VIP-invitation appeared: “dress code – a cocktail”. Though we in edition also have agreed, that on all secular actions I will look quite naturally and буднично, to manage jeans in this case could not in any way. In a panic I call most тусовочной to girlfriend Alla who can be met in two places – boutique Armani or bar Denis Simachev more often.
– Аллочка, gain! That the dress-code "cocktail" means.
– Коктейльное a dress. And what?
– At me invitation on jumps! A cup on конкуру.
– About, perfectly. Means, so: a dress above knees and a hat. On jumps without it it is impossible!
– About my God! What else hat? At me and dresses any are not present. You will borrow?
I come to Alla. She stretches something black, with strips, with a short waist and with open shoulders.
– What is it? I in it will be looked by the pregnant woman, it not seems to you?
– Саша, the short waist is a trend. Put on
I put on. I look as a tumbler toy in magnificent frills.
– Remember, Саша, it is dress Chloґe. Simply think of it.
– And what to do with a head?
– The hat is necessary. Look.
This hat did not give me rest all night long. I turned and could not fall asleep. As a result has risen and has begun to pace the room, looking out what to plant to itself on top: can be, this plush clown? Or here this сеточку from an old bouquet? Eventually has decided to decorate a head with colours. At mum just remains three white герберы.
In the morning has lifted hair hairpins, has pinned a flower between the twirled locks and has gone on jumps in коктейльном dress Chloґe. As the skilled secular lioness, this time I has decided to be late not for two, and at three o'clock! Also it seems, for the first time has arrived in time: speeches of officials have already died down, and performances of equestrians yet have not ended.
Has approached to a VIP-tent, carelessly waving away from photographers, and has become puzzled: I was the unique woman in коктейльном a dress and on heels! All other ladies sported in high jack boots and narrow jeans. Felt deceived Bridzhit Johns in a suit зайчика Playboy during a family supper. And so has become puzzled, that has rushed to a table with champagne and snack. Has then examined visitors – whether is not present familiar (acquaintances have not appeared) – and only after that has translated a sight at a hippodrome. Steams of my age with children around strolled. On mind the next conclusion has come: jumps – leisure especially family.
I have quickly started missing. Also it was insulting for dress Chloґe with flying folds which could and to be put on. On the future I will consider: it is not necessary to concern a dress-code literally.
Time has started talking about clothes, should admit: to me began to like to select dresses (let and in style casual as asked in edition) and to think, what to put on the following party. The husband says, that I behave as a star. It seems, it terribly is jealous. And can be, is jealous not so much, how many it is simply hungry. After all already almost two weeks I do not prepare soup. I at all do not prepare. What for?
FASHIONABLE ДЕФИЛЕ
Environment. Today I should visit last action, having appeared in all beauty. Has for this purpose arrived to edition where to me have given out a black dress-case and a lilac raincoat. The visagiste has made a bright evening make-up. I admit, such I myself till this day did not know. Therefore went to a taxi, having hidden a head in a high collar of a raincoat – tried to get used to new image.
Fashionable display in dark factory area has appeared the present secular reception: a red path, unperturbable security guards, fashion designers, designers, diplomats and politicians. The invited ladies in strict evening dresses. But despite relevance of the dress, I did not feel comfortably. My image was alien to me, and it seemed, that lilac lips and black eyes precisely now will frighten somebody to a hiccups. Обреченно having leant the elbows on a bar rack, has asked a wine glass. I here do not know anybody. I am devilishly tired. I wish to sleep. And the main thing – home.
– Саша? - The Young man has interrupted my despondency, having concerned an elbow.
– Oh, Леша! You here whence? - The Stranger has appeared the classmate.
– Yes at us the society columnist in the decree has left. I for it. By the way, you, casually, do not search for work? Stars, parties, a night life …
The mobile has notified about sms.
– Леша, forgive, but for me the husband has arrived. It is time to me …
I have run out to the husband. As it is good, that it is last day Cosmo-experiment! After all I have understood the main thing: at any party one purpose – to allow to congenial people to communicate among themselves. And, fortunately, it is for this purpose not so obligatory to me to leave the house.
| AUTHOR'S CONCLUSIONS | New acquaintances (sometimes even useful).
The occasion to flash the new dress (sunburn, бойфрендом).
It is possible to save fine on restaurants.
And on fashionable magazines – examples before you.
On presentations give gifts (a trifle, and it it is pleasant).
Many forces and emotions (to reach, to all to smile) leave.
Regular недосып (in the morning after all it is necessary for work!).
From unusual restaurant food the stomach strikes.
Free alcohol in the middle of working week – angrily!
Constant expenses for appearance.
On what does not remain to time. |
