[Tex/LaTex] How to force a page to be odd

header-footerpage-numbering

How can one trick LaTeX to believe that a given page is odd instead of even?

Or alternatively call the odd-page header in a previously defined pagestyle?

\thispagestyle{Somehow-define-that-i-want-odd-page-style-from-"fancy"}

The document class used is book.

Some structuring commands in the book document class insert \cleardoublepage by themselves if the openright option (on by default) is enabled, such as:

\frontmatter
\mainmatter
\backmatter
\part
\chapter
