Wrap all presents in silk ribbon.
Emphasize a flaw to make it your best feature. Got a big mouth? Put on some red lipstick. Think of Katherine Hepburn and the black turtlenecks she wore that accentuated the forceful line of her jaw. The French call this une belle laide, literally a beautiful ugly woman.
Don’t advertise for a status brand by wearing obvious labels. Louis Vuitton should be flattering you, not the other way around.
Wear attractive undergarments. Even if no one else sees them, you’ll hold yourself differently.
Pay more for skin care than makeup. One is the foundation, the other is ornamentation.
Travel. Read. Try new things. Interesting people are more attractive.
Always, always, always tip well. Good service deserves twenty percent, minimum.
Never wear writing on your ass. I prefer to make my own assessment of whether or not you are “juicy.”
Celebrate at every opportunity. Good champagne and fresh raspberries make even the smallest success into a special occasion.
Wear perfume every day. On a related note, “men’s” and “women’s” fragrances are a marketing gimmick. Buy for quality, buy for pleasure, and wear what you like.
Don’t be the depressing single person who hates Valentine’s day. Use it as an excuse to take out a dear friend. After all, love isn’t only for lovers.
Sincere enthusiasm and self awareness cover a multitude of sins.
When buying flowers, try a little originality. An armful of pungent eucalyptus branches is far better than a rote arrangement of red roses and white carnations.
Buy cheap tee shirts and expensive shoes.
Never be ashamed of something you love.
Even if you do it badly, take every opportunity to dance.
