A guy and his girlfriend dress up for the Oscars and Vanity Fair afterparty, spending $500 on a haircut to blend in. Famous people keep looking at them, realizing they're not celebrities, then turning away. He describes the brutal social hierarchy of Hollywood's exclusive events.
This year I went to the Oscars and I went to the Vanity Fair afterparty, and that was an example of something where I'm like, I should not be here. Tell that story. Me and my girlfriend go down, we buy like ridiculously expensive clothes and tuxedos. I get like a $500 haircut. It's kind of cool. We're in the actual Oscar event and we keep seeing famous people. But after that, we go to the Vanity Fair afterparty. Vanity Fair afterparty is this like super exclusive event where literally everybody is famous. And then there's me and my girlfriend, and over and over again, and every person that walks by us looks a bit excited, looks us up and down, realizes we're not famous, and then immediately turns on their heel. And we're just like, we don't belong here. People would just immediately glaze over and start looking over my shoulder.
