Rarely before in history has a person been so perfectly matched with a building as when Paris Hilton checked out the Hotel Atlantis on the Palm this week. Its garish pink exterior and heart-shaped facade could have been designed with the slender hotel heiress in mind.
Her reaction, which once might have gone unrecorded among the whirring of a thousand camera shutters, has fortunately been preserved for posterity. “Dubai is amazingggggggg!!! Huuuuuugeeee!” she twittered. Whole travel books have been written without such detail and gusto. Paris in Dubai! Huge! The downturn is over, Paris says so, and we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
Few people polarise public opinion quite as much as Ms Hilton. A female friend of mine dismisses her as a “bimbo”. Others are less polite. But those of us in the writing game should reflect that while we turn out perfectly crafted sentences for a pittance, she is flown halfway across the world in first class by Emirates Airline because they know she will give them valuable publicity. What does she say that is so priceless? Judge for yourself from her Twitter posts: “About to take off, so excited!” “My bed … Huge … So Comfy.” “This airline is Amazing.”
