Chapter II: Fluffing
If you think celebrities just *look* like that on the red carpet, you're in denial—after the glam squad that gets them ready comes the fluffer, who lays the dress, carries the train, places the hand, etc. etc. Full investigation here.
Anything for the dress.
Including stooping.
And pulling.
And billowing.
And lifting.
And strategically swishing.
Chapter III: Pet Management
Being a part-time cat/dog mommy/daddy ain't so bad. (This one belongs to Lady Gaga.)
Chapter IV: Mariah
Mariah Carey gets her own chapter because she is unashamed of asking the people she pays to do things like dab the sweat from her upper lip.
And lead her around.
Everywhere.
With umbrellas.
And position her hand just so to highlight her engagement ring.
More leading around.
I would have human Seeing Eye Dogs with me all the time too, if I could afford it.
And they call her a diva psshh.
She's touching a normal person's hand!
And letting a normal person touch her in turn!
See?
