The media guide on 'How to get on Page 3'


Hindustan Times - 1/9/09

- Trick 1:

Get yourself into the guest list of every event or simply gatecrash. One way is to bribe the security. They are the ones who check the invites when you enter the venue. Model Amanpreet Wahi says, "Some 'designers' from Mumbai, wearing glares at night and looking so sidey, gatecrashed at my pre-wedding bash. I was so shocked. Some PR people also came uninvited".

- Trick 2:

Tag along with a page 3 photographer or a journalist friend and get them to pass your pics around. Or simply pose as one of them. PS: Make sure you carry phoney business cards, no one looks too hard at what's written. Once you're in, pose pretty for the cameras.

- Trick 3:

Flaunt a firang accent and hang out with regulars. An accent can get you mistaken for a loaded NRI. You may even be allowed to hang out with the diplomatic crowd. Click! You have your visa card. Talking about this trend, Wahi adds, "I have seen these 35-40 year old men who just get a skimpily clad girl with them and get clicked with her. All they have is a loaded wallet (or the pretence of one) and an arm-candy. That's the way."

- Trick 4:

Pick up a fight, lock lips or do something really crazy. A smooch or a smack works wonders. Also, sport skimpy clothes and crazy tattoos. Designer Rahul Jain says, "People start kissing and touching the moment they see the lensman.These are people who otherwise don't even say Hi to each other. A male designer comes wearing a necklace and another wears something really bizarre"
