Well, most of us ordinary folk celebrate our birthday with a cake and maybe a meal out.
But Paris Hilton ain't no regular person.
The mischievous socialite pulled out all the stops at her 27th birthday bash recently.
Nothing would stop the gal of the moment fulfilling her special wish.
Namely, getting all trussed up in the kinkiest of gear for a one-off gig the naughty Pussycat Lounge in Las Vegas.
Well, it's her party and she can strip if she wants to...
And strip down she certainly did.
The audience at Pure nightclub (where the Lounge is based) must surely have been left flabbergasted as Paris made her mark at the club in an ever-raunchy string of miniscule outfits.
From sequined hot pants atop a Martini glass (a la Dita Von Teese), to an all-out dominatrix-style police uniform, Paris' show-stopping set was totally fab, or filthy, depending on your point of view.
Go decide for yourself in our gallery of Paris in the limelight.
