Body-Language to Avoid (part 2)

Yes, I'm back with more body language to avoid... Hope you all have been practicing...

• Standing Too Close: This just makes people feel uncomfortable. Most people consider the four square feet of space immediately surrounding their body their personal space. Cross this invisible boundary with good friends and intimate mates only.
• Looking Down While in the Presence of Others: Usually indicates disinterest. Sometimes it’s even interpreted as a casual sign of arrogance. Always look straight ahead and make eye contact when you see someone you know.
• Touching Your Face During a Conversation: Face touching, especially on the nose, is commonly interpreted as an indication of deception. Also, covering up the mouth is a common gesture people make when they’re lying. Always keep your hands away from your face when you’re speaking.
• Faking a Smile: Another sign of deception commonly seen on the face of a fraud. A genuine smile wrinkles the corners of the eyes and changes the expression of the entire face. Fake smiles only involve the mouth and lips. It’s easy to distinguish between the two. Don’t force yourself to smile … unless it’s for the camera.
• Leaning Away From Someone You Like: A sign of being bored and disinterested. Some people may also interpret it to mean “I don’t like you.” People typically lean toward someone they like and away from someone they dislike. This is especially true when sitting around a table. If you lean away from someone you like, you’re sending him or her the wrong message.

Well, this is it for now... until I figure out what else is there before I continue with this series... & remember...
PRACTICE!!!

The MTV that got the whole music industry talking...

Yes!!! Christina Aguilera has done it... like again... Christina Aguilera's latest MV "You Lost Me" which premiered yesterday evening, had the industry talking.

In the MV, Christina Aguilera cries her eyes out, and looks great doing it. The concept of the MV was simple yet able to strip you totally naked emotionally. "You Lost Me" was totally the opposite of her previous MV "Not Myself Tonight".

"You Lost Me" begins with an extreme close-up of a gun barrel while Christina Aguilera sings, "I am done, Smoking gun.We've lost it all, the love is gone." Christina Aguilera then wanders through a deserted bedroom and lays down in the dirt, but like a vintage Hollywood vixen, she always remains unmatchablely glamorous, even while mascara streams down her cheeks.

"You Lost Me" received comment like "We expect more but there wasn't.", "It's too long & boring." & alot more alike those two I've mentioned. "You Lost Me" was compared to "Not Myself Tonight" hence the expectations for entertainment. Personally, "You Lost Me" was a Big thing for me as it really show who can & who can't sing in the industry.

Christina Aguilera don't need great clothes or great Auto- tune for that matter to produce something that her fans would love & hunger for. It Totally proves the point that Christina Aguilera is the Queen who reign supreme & of cause owns the Throne.

Body-Language to Avoid

Our body language exhibits far more information about how we feel than it’s possible to articulate verbally. All of the physical gestures we make are subconsciously interpreted by others. This can work for or against us depending on the kind of body language we use. Some gestures project a very positive message, while others do nothing but set a negative tone.
Most people are totally oblivious to their own body language, so the discipline of controlling these gestures can be quite challenging. Many of them are reflexive in nature, automatically matching up to what our minds are thinking at any given moment. Nevertheless, with the right information and a little practice, we can train ourselves to overcome most of our negative body language habits. Here's a few for you to ponder and absorb before I start blasting more at you...

1. Holding Objects in Front of Your Body: A coffee cup, notebook, handbag, etc. Holding objects in front of your body indicates shyness and resistance, and conveys that you’re hiding behind the objects in an effort to separate yourself from others. Instead of carrying objects in front of you, carry them at your side whenever possible.
2. Checking the Time or Inspecting Your Fingernails: A strong sign of boredom. Never glance at the time when you’re speaking with someone. Likewise, completely avoid the act of inspecting your fingernails.
3. Picking Lint off Your Clothes: If you pick lint off your clothes during a conversation, especially in conjunction with looking downward, most people will assume that you disapprove of their ideas and/or feel uneasy about giving them an honest opinion. Leave the lint alone!
4. Stroking Your Chin While Looking at Someone: “I’m judging you!” People frequently stroke their chin during the decision-making process. If you look at someone while you’re stroking your chin, they may assume that you’re making a judgmental decision about them.
5. Narrowing Your Eyes: If you want to give someone the impression that you don’t like them (or their ideas), narrow your eyes while looking at them. It immediately places a scowling expression on your face. A slight narrowing of the eyes is an instinctual, universal expression of anger across various species in the animal kingdom (think about the angry expressions of tigers, dogs, etc.). Some people make the mistake of narrowing their eyes during a conversation as a reflex of thinking. Don’t send people the wrong message … don’t narrow your eyes. Of cause, unless you can smile with ur eyes likee Tyra Banks...

Ok... that's it for now... so start practising!!! until next time...

Reflection

Suddenly, while I was listening to some songs, it just hits me that "Who or What am I really like?"

I seriously asked myself. For those who have known me for over a period of time will tell you that I have changed. So much so that they literally Can't Keep Up with What I Create. Well, I learn Drama so, Personification, is something simple for me. But now, I'm feeling kinda Lost inside myself.

It kind of bothers me that I may have push my Personification into Bipolar disorder. Its overwhelming sometimes when people just try so darn hard trying to bring you down & all you have is yourself. & you know, & you know that you don't have what it takes to stand up.

In my case, I tell myself, you got to have it & even if you really don have it in you? FAKE IT! BITCH! Yes! Faking & Lying to yourself that you have something which you don't, is the 1st step to believing. If you, yourself don't believe in something, how can you possibly think that you can make others believe that?

I seriously need time to Mediate & get reconnected to my True self. That's it for now, will write more about my Bipolar disorder on the next post.. :)

The Next Generation’s Great Gay Icon!!!

Nope, this is not from my own personal view but Christina Aguilera got the most vote on a gay website. Yes, it's official. Christina Aguilera's ever changing style has evolute her from pop princess to the sultry yet classy LegendTina in a mere decade. Plus she possesses one of the best and most powerful voices of her generation. Then there is the fact she is also a strong supporter of gay rights & is identified as bisexual. Seriously, if Christina did not get the votes, Britney comes in 2nd. "Oh My God!!!" you say? Yes! Believe it! Britney(in the vote) came in 2nd losing to the Legendary Christina by over 6% of the overall votes. Seriously, where do we even begin? From her crazy antics including shaving her head in front of the world, pantyless public appearances, a 55 hour marriage, and her drug treatment, she isn’t exactly a role model. I mean, isn’t this the woman that married Kevin Federline? Perhaps not the best of choices.

Of cause in the race to the finish line, we found Singers like Beyonce Knowles, Pink, Kylie Minogue & Adam Lambert. There was also Entertainers like Lady Gaga in it, who came in 3rd(seriously, is there anything that Lady Gaga could beat Christina Aguilera in?) &Worse! People across the web are ripping Christina Aguilera apart for her video "Not Myself Tonight" calling it a Lady Gaga ripoff. I think that people forget Christina Aguilera did sexy well back on her "Stripped" album. I'm glad to have Christina Aguilera back, because she's got one of the best sets of pipes (if it's not already The BEST) in the industry.

Some of you might be wondering, "What does being a Gay Icon have to do with Fashion?". Well, let me tell you, being a Gay Icon makes you highly Influential to Gays who are probably Fashion Icon & people who is influenced by Fashion Icons are actually indirectly influenced by... YES! CHRISTINA AGUILERA!!! Believe it!

Anyway just wanna Congratulate Christina Aguilera for being "The Next Generation’s Great Gay Icon"!!! LOVE You Christina!
