Celebrity Party
Ah yes, to walk amongst the truly ego-centric, the emotionally dysfunctional, the crem-de-al-crem of the jet setting elite, it's dream of ours as much as it is of yours. I'm speaking of course of the collective unit of people we affectionately call celebrities and your dreams are not as unobtainable as you might think. Introducing the Celebrity Party where you and your pals can rub elbows with the likes of Elvis, Jimmy Stewart, and Heidi Fleiss. More to the point, you yourself can be become the self centered media hound you've always wished to be. The Celebrity Party is a costume party with an attitude and here's how to do it.
First and foremost, you must decide who you'd like to be. Put some time into your decision, taking into consideration an individual's style, personality, accomplishments and taste in clothing, for all will be important factors once the party begins. We're partial to rock stars, like Bono of U2 or Madonna, and Golden Age of Hollywood movie stars, like Humphrey Bogart or Ingrid Bergman. Fifteen seconds of fame personalities like Joey Buttafuca are also rather good. These people have a style all their own and are much more interesting for are purposes than say a Tom Cruise or Jody Foster. (Would a person wishing to be Jody Foster where a sign reading "I'm with John Hinckley" or one that says "I go well with a nice Chianti"? We'll have to ask her.) Couples may wish to come as a couple, like Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, a foursome as the "BEATLES".
When inviting people be sure to clearly explain the purpose of the evening and allow each individual a week to get back to you with a list of people they'd like to be. The week allows time for them to find someone they'll be comfortable with. As people get back to you, make a list of the guests and the people they've chosen, being careful to make sure their are no duplicate celebrities. It's got to be on a first come first serve basis, and you should make sure people understand they should prepare themselves with several options before R.S.V.P.'ing your event. Once everyone has gotten back to you, using the list of people you've made, create name tags for each person. Something to the effect of "Hi, my name is ?" should be sufficient. Do not put the person's real name on the tag for all reality will cease to exist once the party begins.
As guests arrive allow them to enter through only one door and, after you hand them their name tags, announce their arrival in typical Hollywood fashion. (A mega-phone works wonders her.) The party should be an elegant affair but your certainly free to allow game playing and hedonism as you see fit. The rules are simple, anyone caught out of character, using someone's real name, or generally being obstructive to the overall spirit of the party must finish the drink in their hand. You may even wish to add to the festivities by organizing a wrestling match between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow or a fellatio demonstration by Madonna and your favorite bottle beer. Check your guest list and let your mind wander. The most important aspects of this party are creativity and the ability of your guests to stay in character. If your friends would rather sit on a couch and scream obscenities at the television, you'd be better off looking elsewhere for a good time. However, if your friends are the adventurous type and enjoy a taste of the good life then the Celebrity Party may be just what the critic's ordered.
Music: Try big band jazz, believe it or not you can dance to it. Depending on who the celebrities in attendance are, perhaps you could coax some of them into performing at your little get together.
Food: Only the best for the best. Caviar and Champagne all the way.
Location: Spend a few bucks and rent a classy hall. Or don't. One or the other.
Underwear: Non-restrictive, silk boxer's for men. For women, a frilly, extremely erotic yet comfortable (although I hear that's not possible) undies and bra coupling.
