You Know Who I Am, Don’t You?
Late last Friday night, someone resembling Mick Jagger (yeesh!) scored a free bottle of Grey Goose (yow!) at a Chelsea nightclub, partied for an hour and a half (yeehaw!) and pulled it off without anyone the wiser:
Posted: September 28th, 2005 | Filed under: What Will They Think Of Next?A randy Mick Jagger impersonator got plenty of satisfaction at a Chelsea nightclub when the hoodwinked hot spot lavished him with VIP treatment — including free liquor, a personal security guard and lots of female attention.
The freeloading phony turned up at Spirit in the wee hours of Saturday morning with a lovely young lass at his side, and was quickly ushered into the VIP room by the doorman.
The faux Mick enjoyed a complimentary bottle of Grey Goose vodka, and beckoned over a bevy of beauties with the help of a bodyguard provided by the club.
In an impeccable British accent, he informed his awestruck admirers that he had just flown in by private jet from Columbus, Ohio, where the Rolling Stones had performed earlier that night.
“After about an hour and a half of partying with what became a large crowd, the fake Mick told the security guard that he was becoming overwhelmed by the crowd and the cameras . . . and needed to leave,” Spirit spokeswoman Claire O’Connor said.
“The security guard called for additional backup, and the clone was whisked, with three girls, down a back staircase. He asked to stop at the ladies’ room on the way out, and spent 10 minutes in the ladies’ room with the three girls.” When they came out, the impish imposter and his date bid farewell to the groupies and hailed a taxi outside.
Club officials realized they had been conned after examining a photograph of the phony Mick — who was, in fact, younger and heavier than the real Jagger.
