We all flip through the pages of our favorite magazine looking at the celebrities and their lavish lifestyles, and imagine what our life would be like if we had all the glamour. Often times we envy the way they live and feel that if we had their lifestyle our lives would be much more improved. Moreover, many people dream of their lives being in the spotlight and the center of attention, having paparazzi capturing every move we make each and everyday. People sometimes go through extreme measures to resemble their favorite celebrity. However, we have to realize that even though our lives are not written about in magazines or our face is not posted on a billboard, our lives are just as important. Each one of us can be our own celebrity at different points in our lives; whether you believe it or not we are all have the potential to be a star. Also our families, friends, significant other, teachers, and peers are our paparazzi because their the people that always provide us with attention and concern.
One time where I felt like a celebrity in my own life was at my Sweet Sixteen party which took place on June 17, 2005 at the Vanderbilt. I was very excited about this place because it had just opened up and it was located right off the water. My party took several months to prepare for I had to get invitations made, choose centerpiece arrangements and decorations, make a decision on the type of cake, pick out the table clothes and napkin colors, make a seating chart, book the DJ and dancers, schedule the video man, book a hair, makeup, and nail appointment, and write out seventeen candles. On top of all this my mother and I decided to get my dress made by a dressmaker from Italy. My dress had a sweetheart neckline and came low in the back. It was made out of Versace silver lace, had a long train and sparkly crystal hung everywhere to make the dress breathtaking. My dress was like no other the detailed work was absolutely amazing.
At the party, I was announced in and escorted by my older brother, all of my guests eyes’ where on me. With the music blasting, lights flickering, and cameras flashing, I felt like a celebrity on the red carpet. In my dress with my hair and makeup done, and completely the center of attention for the whole evening I thought to myself I feel just like a celebrity. The room was decorated in such an elegant fashion with extravagant flower arrangements in huge vases that where also fish tanks as the centerpieces of the tables, accompanied by floating candles, and gold and white table cloths and napkins. The entire night was dedicated to me and I felt extremely special. For that one night I was the celebrity at the party and no one could take that away from me!
