Sebastian, the demon, had a habit to strike strikingly striking poses from time to time...
What a lovely idea to spend some time each day to look as dashing as you can. But nothing fake -
poses must be acted out accordingly. Straighten your clothes, your hair; find a suitable place; carefully select the little features you add to your even more carefully selected pose.
Preferably consult a mirror beforehand. You may even want to plan ahead and dress accordingly to acchieve a pose of greater effect.
Think on the thought you want to transmit, the 'aura' you create. It must ideally ooze out of
every single one of your features, of your lineaments. Do it somewhere you are sure to be seen and pose only to people who you think are able to appreciate your efforts. Different crowds require a different kind of approach - thus different poses are needed. Use commonly known symbols to send messages about yourself but treat stacking up clichés like fire - very carefully. There are some good books on body language to help you with that.
Avoid eye contact with your victims unless its unavoidable or necessary - catching your eyes will divert their attention and often force them to shy away. If you are sure a devilish or sweet peek will enhance your performance however, then use it with confidence.
Its good to have comfortable poses but remember that even if they are painful, or twisting your anatomy to the brink even... it is worth it most of the times.
Today we had two entirely different people, who were late, walk in on the lecturer. One of them entered from across the room like a stampede of big animals - treading indifferently and having his attitude speak out loud: "I am here!" The other one entered from behind me. I hardly heard her coming. Silently and shyly she entered and took a seat telling me: "I am not here".
What I really heard in the first case was: "I am so unimportant! Please look at me!"
And in the second case I heard: "I am a really fascinating person but so are many...
why make a ruckus?"
People are so different...
