Being pretty, funny, charming and popular are skills anyone can learn. With enough practice, confidence and shaping underwear, your ideal persona can shine. Don’t tell the truth, unless it helps. Most of the time, you’ve got to put the “lie” in “lifestyle.” What’s your lie-style of choice? I wanted to be the kind of girl that gets an “IT” title, if her parents are wealthy. I dedicated myself to acting as if I had nothing to do all day except socialize and creep on guys. When the after-party kids went to bed, I crawled to work but didn't tell. When I did sleep, I left my makeup on, which is the most self-destructive thing I've done. Whether you want to dance well, talk fast or raise hell, keep pretending until your act becomes reality.
