• If you're going to do Beauty and Essex my way, walk straight through the door in the back wall of the pawn shop, gawk at the crystal chandelier and the spiral staircase, feel slightly less hip than just about everyone finishing dinner at 12 am, then, grab your girls and head straight to the bathroom. Yes. The bathroom. Do what you've gotta do, but PLEASE, take the free champagne. Grab a glass, sit in the blissfully quiet(ish) on the couches they provide, snap a few pics because you're usually in bed by 9 pm and this is just about as glamorous as life gets--and then tackle the DJ-and-cocktails scene upstairs.
