THE ART OF SOCIAL CLIMBING
Starts with a salon-finished hairdo.
With the best treatment from the ace hair masters.
Then, put some makeup on
Fill your face with vibrant colors
Find the perfect symmetry
Hide your blemishes, conceal your secrets.
Dress yourself up with fine fabrics
With those stunningly- made, branded apparels.
And please do not settle for some plain flats or sandals
Slip that Prada, Jimmy or Manolo on your pretty feet
After that, adorn yourself with the shiniest gold and the brightest diamond
Feel free to spray generous amount of expensive perfume all over your body
Then walk. But you should walk tall and proud. Slowly.
For nobody else in your humble street could afford whatever you have on.
Let them drool. Let them praise you. Let them worship and envy you.
Do not go for any ordinary public transport, you should get a cab.
Talk to the driver in English, give him a good tip.
Off to your favorite coffee shop
Order and savor every sip of that famous Caramel Macchiato
For eight long hours.
Just lounge. Pretend that you’re just waiting for your rich “friends”.
Spend the rest of your day strolling around, mall hopping.
Swipe your credit card for as long as you want
Buy everything that your eyes desire as if there’s no tomorrow .
But be ready. Just be prepared when you get home. Because your landlord has finally decided to lock you out.
