How to Act Spoiled
Disclaimer: One assumes that by wanting to act spoiled you mean that you want to act rich. Henceforth, we will give you tips on how to appear wealthy. If you wish to act tacky, this article is not for you.
[edit] Steps
- Try to act your age. Yes, wealthy girls can be their parents' "little princesses" but outside of one's own home, putting on a "baby voice", pouting and making puppy eyes, or downplaying your intelligence just makes you appear a little bit socially awkward and incapable of acting mature in social situations.
- Be willing to spend more money on "investment pieces" such as a nice leather handbag, fitted jeans, and cashmere sweaters. Spend less on trendy pieces. Do NOT wear a lot of logos. Rich kids don't need to wear logos to prove that they can afford expensive pieces. This is why you often see them in ripped jeans.
- Go to consignment stores in wealthy neighbourhoods for slightly used goods at reduced prices. Never buy something just because it is "designer".
- You may buy cheap clothes and accessories but try to find pieces that don't look cheap. Stay away from overly clingy fabrics, last year's trends, and obvious knockoffs. (Knockoffs are okay if they look authentic).
- Take fashion cues from websites such as style.com and magazines like Teen Vogue. You do not need to copy outfits exactly, but let yourself be inspired.
- Be polite. You mustn't be mean, because nobody likes a snobby rich person. Rich kids are often trained (though unwillingly) in manners, and it shows. Learn some basic table manners for lunches at restaurants with friends. NEVER be rude to waitstaff, manicurists, sales clerks, etc. as this makes you look like you are not accustomed to being waited on by others. Rich kids often have personal trainers, tutors, drivers, and nannies, and are taught by their parents to be kind to those who serve them.
- Keep your gatherings exclusive; don't throw big parties, throw intimate gathering inviting only your closest friends. This way, you will save money but still get the reputation of throwing parties. In addition, your invitations will become more of a commodity in that people will hear about your great parties but not automatically be able to go.
- Walk like there is a tiara on your head. People will respect you. Good posture is always a must.
- Watch your figure. Just be healthy, not into crash diets or other unhealthy eating attitudes.
- Never be snotty to those less privileged than you. Don't make comments like "Her sweater is so cheap". A rich girl who is well raised (and not tacky) would never say that, and this way if it is discovered that you are not wealthy, people will be more sympathetic.
- Don't lie outrageously. You want to merely suggest that you are rich, not lie about it. Don't say that your dad is a partner in a law firm and that you have a driver and a summer home when you do not.
- Don't talk about money. Seriously, it's tacky. Don't say "This sweater cost $200". It makes it sound like that is a big event for you and just sounds arrogant.
[edit] Warnings
- Don't get any ideas from the television - your older brother or sister might say, "You're copying off television." or "You copied Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!"
