Five nights on the door this week -
In London all dancers/models/singers and actresses have a money making back up job. This usually takes the form of -
Singers - Harrods perfume counters. Hot girls smiling with immaculate hair, brandishing the latest bottle of whatever Chanel has to offer.
Dancers - Abercrombie and Fitch. The only thing they consider when hiring is your photo and you can have time off for auditions/jobs.
Actresses - Promo/Hospitality - pays better than a normal job - about £100 for 6-8 hours, actresses are good at this as they can hide their disgust and rude and obnoxious customers more effectively!
Models - Guest List Bitching. This is my little money spinner. I am the door picker at London VIP spot, Maya. I love my job and you will find lots of models prowling the doors at the Capitals members clubs. We are trained to spot the following -
People who will spend (I'm talking into the thousands).
Beautiful People
Immaculately dressed people
People who look like they would sleep with any of the above (especially spenders) so the people we want in the club come back.
This is why if you see an 18 yr old in an Ed Hardy vest as a dress, a bucket full of make up and tonged extensions getting in and you are still waiting at the back of the queue - don't be offended at least I don't think you are easy!
I have met some pretty cool people during my days at the door - Nelly (short), Clive Owen (surprisingly hot), Usain Bolt (the personality is for the cameras), JLS (the nicest boys on the scene), Boy George (old and dwarf like) ,The Chicago Bulls and almost every footballer on the planet.
Tips to get into a club with a guest list
1) Be or look like Nicole from PCD
2) Be or have as much money as Abramovic
3) Do not turn up in a group of six guys, unless you are willing to take a table (this will coat between £600 and £1500 depending on the night and how busy we are.
4) Be polite - say you like my shoes and do not ask if they were from New Look - they weren't!
5) Bribary (gifts or good deals at desginer shops)
6) Do not dress as though you have come straight from the farm.
7) Do not use the excuse "I didn't know I was coming/I came straight from...." I hear it every five mins think of something original the manager once let in someone who I'm pretty sure was homeless because he convinced him he was in Foo Fighters!
8) Take a hint - "the guest list is closed/has been cancelled/sorry we are over twenty eights tonight/ we are at capacity" generally means you don't look right for the club.
9)If in doubt wear a little black dress or nice jeans and a stilettos - if you take a chance on the Christoper Kane fluro pink mirror dress and it doesn't work out you'll be left red faced and on your way to leicester square Yates!
10) Flattery gets you everywhere!
