Book Summary

A Unique, Humorous, and Classy Guide Written by an Etiquette Guru Who Caters to the Unique Social Demands of the Citizens of Beverly Hills

In Beverly Hills, fame and wealth can buy everything—except class, grace, and sophistication. In 24 Karat Etiquette, Lisa Gaché offers a behind-the-scenes look at Beverly Hills residents’ unique social dilemmas through the eyes of an etiquette expert tasked with transforming her awkward, boorish, and sometimes challenging clients into social virtuosos.

From Saudi princesses to Oscar winners, talent agents to intelligence operatives, child actresses, butlers, and football players, Lisa has amassed an astounding roster. She’s taught Oscar nominees how to successfully navigate the red carpet, sorority girls to use forks and knives, and NFL coaches to shake hands. In this book, she reflects on those experiences to teach you how to present yourself as a respectable professional in real-world situations, whether you’re located in 90210, 10001, or anywhere in between.

Through Lisa’s work with the sons and daughters of Hollywood’s elite, she has also become an authority on what she calls “Child Wrangling.” Through her work with numerous children—including one specific child actress who required formal instruction on interacting with “normal” people—Lisa will show you how to lay down the law when it comes to cliques, bullying, and cattiness while providing amusing and helpful tips about everything from organizing playdates to applying to the most prestigious private schools.

In today’s technological world, Lisa counsels clients on more than table manners. Thanks to the explosion of social media, netiquette is a vital new discipline. You’ll learn how to send emails, texts, and messages on a variety of different social media outlets, as well as how to manage your online profiles to show yourself in the best light possible. It’s important to know that if a tweet hits the fan, it doesn’t matter if you’re a “nobody” or a “somebody”; repercussions are real.
