How to Be the Center of Attention at Every Party and Gathering!

Kristie Leong M.D.
You're no wallflowe or you wouldn't be reading this article. You like to stand out from the crowd and make a bold and daring statement. Wouldn't it be nice to captivate the crowd at every party and gathering? Well, you can! Here are some simple steps you can take to capture the attention of the crowd and get the attention you crave.

1. Dress in a stylish and eye catching manner. Try wearing bright colors or bold patterns if they're flattering on you. Just make sure you don't overdo it. You don't want people whispering about your complete lack of taste behind your back. Become known as a clothes horse and style monger who always has the latest and greatest in the world of fashion. People will be eagerly waiting for you to arrive so they can see what you're wearing.

2. Wear a constant smile on your face. A smile can be your most tlattering fashion accessory. It shows the world you're a happy and confident person. Who doesn't want to be in the presence of someone so upbeat and warm? They'll wonder what intriguing little secret you're hiding that makes you such a sickeningly, cheery person.

3. Develop a sense of humor! Learn to laugh at yourself and your shortcomings. People love self deprecating humor especially when it's delivered by someone as happy and well dressed as your are. Crack a joke now and then and laugh in a warm and infectious way at other people's attempts at humor. A little self effacing humor will go a long way in your quest to be the center of attention.

4. Learn to make a dramatic entrance. When you enter the room in your bright clothes and that perpetual smile, do it with flair! If no one's looking, you might want to pretend to trip on the edge of the carpeting to create a small stir and have them come rushing to your aid. After all, this would be expected with the super high heels you're wearing to get attention. Use those magic heels to your advantage!

5. Learn to talk in a voice that's heard around the room and maybe around the nieghborhood. Meek, softspoken people are rarely the center of attention. Develop a booming and infectious voice that lets your thoughts be heard and heard and heard! When you talk check out of the corner of your eye to make sure you've captured the attention of everyone in the room. If not, raise your voice a level or two.

6.Develop a distinctive walk that catches peoples' eyes. A cute little sashay with just a touch of the dramatic should be quite effective in capturing the appreciation of the crowd, especially members of the opposite sex. Of course, you could have some problems trying to sashay in those ultra high, attention getting heels. Keep working at it and you'll either get the hang of it or break your ankle.

There you have it. Six ways to become the center of attention at every party of gathering. Suppose you try all of the above and you're STILL not the center of attention? It may be time to institute some more drastic measures but we'll save that for another day.

    Great ADVICE for ATTENTION whores.

    -dressing stylishly (isn't that preppy) and conforming to latest styles and accidentally tripping is stupid and takes the attention from what matters- who YOU ARE!

    I don't like to draw too much attention to myself because I am shy by nature.
