A Unique, Humorous, and Classy Guide Written
by an Etiquette Guru Who Caters to the Unique Social Demands
of the Citizens of Beverly Hills
In
Beverly Hills, fame and wealth can buy everything—except
class, grace, and sophistication. In 24 Karat
Etiquette, Lisa Gaché offers a behind-the-scenes look
at Beverly Hills residents’ unique social dilemmas through
the eyes of an etiquette expert tasked with transforming her
awkward, boorish, and sometimes challenging clients into
social virtuosos.
From Saudi princesses to Oscar winners,
talent agents to intelligence operatives, child actresses,
butlers, and football players, Lisa has amassed an
astounding roster. She’s taught Oscar nominees how to
successfully navigate the red carpet, sorority girls to use
forks and knives, and NFL coaches to shake hands. In this
book, she reflects on those experiences to teach you how to
present yourself as a respectable professional in real-world
situations, whether you’re located in 90210, 10001, or
anywhere in between.
Through Lisa’s work with the sons
and daughters of Hollywood’s elite, she has also become an
authority on what she calls “Child Wrangling.” Through her
work with numerous children—including one specific child
actress who required formal instruction on interacting with
“normal” people—Lisa will show you how to lay down the law
when it comes to cliques, bullying, and cattiness while
providing amusing and helpful tips about everything from
organizing playdates to applying to the most prestigious
private schools.
In today’s technological world, Lisa
counsels clients on more than table manners. Thanks to the
explosion of social media, netiquette is a vital new
discipline. You’ll learn how to send emails, texts, and
messages on a variety of different social media outlets, as
well as how to manage your online profiles to show yourself
in the best light possible. It’s important to know that if a
tweet hits the fan, it doesn’t matter if you’re a “nobody”
or a “somebody”; repercussions are real.
