Be The Life Of The Party

1. Take the prime position-when you arrive, grab one or two of your friends and head straight for the middle of the room. As other people walk in, you’ll appear to be the center of attention and they’ll naturally gravitate towards you.
2. Show Your Shoulders: The more skin you show in the winter, the more you will stand out in a crowd. Make sure it’s a solid color such as red, fuchsia or turquoise.
3. Perfect Your Smile: Don a close-lipped smirk, like you have a secret you’re just dying to tell. Then wait until after you say hi to someone to flash them a big smile. You want them to think that they’re the reason you’re suddenly so happy.
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Touch: When you’re chatting with someone, casually place a hand on his or her arm. Touch triggers good feelings and signals special treatment.
5. Hands Off Your Hair: Messing with your tresses sends a message to both men and women that you’re insecure or nervous, which makes them suddenly get the urge to refill their drink.
6. Let Your Cocktail Do the Talking: Hold your glass in one hand and off to the side as opposed to directly in front of you with two hands.
7. Get Moving: As the party gets packed, change your locale every ten or fifteen minutes. Each time you move to a different setting, you’ll be seen from a new angle, making you seem instantly more dynamic.
