Here are the words of the fabulous James St. James from his novel “Party Monster”:
“As you stand outside the entrance to the party, take your partner by the hand and shake it once for solidarity. Quickly, adjust your vibrations to the music. Throw your ears back, push your energy forward, turn on that smile and SWEEP into view.”
THAT is how to own the room darling.
