The ugly truth about Hollywood.

1 1 OAK - Hollywood

Hollywood. It's known as the epitome of the glitz and the glamour around the world. After all, people come here to try and fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming an actor or actress; or simply, be part of the Entertainment business. Why not? Being in the industry myself, it seems exciting and fun. Although, what people don't see (at least those who are not from here) are the challenges that comes when one tries to go out and party in Hollywood. 

Recently, my friends (all women) and I celebrated a going away party; and at the last minute, we decided to go to Hollywood to make it a fun night. Somehow, most of us were accepted to get in except for 2 of my friends. To this day, I'm still baffled of the reason why they didn't get in the club. Was it the outfit? Their aura? Attitude? You see, that's the issue about going out in Hollywood. You'll never get any reason. The decision made of who "get's in" the hip bars and/or nightclubs is an objective subject which, all comes down to one's looks. I'm not here to try and go all feminist on you but, I do want people who are not from here to be aware that this happens.

Base off of my experience, some reasons how some people get in would be:

1. Know a promoter or someone who works at the venue.

2. Look good: dress to the nines. No joke. 

3. Get a table

4. The smaller the group the better. 

5. Arrive early, at least before 10pm. Yes, I mean super early! 

If, none of those on the list works for you, make sure to have a plan B.
