The nightly parties and functions are expected, but how do socialites spend the rest of the day? During a fabulous dinner, my socialite friend, Shaun Umsted, shared with me the details of his daily grind. He says “We’re just like ordinary people. We sleep, eat, work, and have fun just like the rest!” I said he’s correct but quickly added that he doesn’t sleep in a crowded apartment bed room, he doesn’t eat at the neighborhood fast food chain, he doesn’t really need to work, and that there’s no way ordinary people could afford his idea of fun!
Shawn wakes up at around noon, take a shower, get dressed and go to his favorite restaurant for lunch. He starts the day a little earlier if there are brunch or luncheon business meetings to attend to. He then goes to his office for more meetings and appointments, sign documents, plan for events, etc. If time permits, he visits his dentist or dermatologist or goes shopping for more shoes and outfits.
His next stop would be the gym for a quick workout or to the pool for a few laps. He then heads back to home for a shower, change of clothes and get ready for the evening’s activities, be it an intimate dinner with friends, cocktails for a product launch, a charity gala or a friend’s birthday bash.
Tired of dancing and a bit tipsy but carrying a loot bag of designer frocks, Shawn goes home to rest, only to wake up the next morning to lead another socialite’s life.
