Work It!





look 'em in the eyes, hold their gaze

work 'em, one by one

adopt an air of nonchalance, sexy

the undone button 

loose strand of hair across your face

expose shoulders 

collarbones always were your best feature 

you know how to work a crowd

    Dearest Helen,
    Looking anyone in the eyes is a must—at least for confidence.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Helen, I know you've put many under your spell working it. Who could refuse you?? Great writing to the prompt. Remember that Beatles song, "Twist and Shout"?

    Gaze, nonchalance, bosom and shoulders' exposure - these are indeed effective ways to 'work' on a crowd.

    I love how you approached the prompt. The tone, the imagery, the movement in every line is so very Helen. A delight to read.

    It sells too!! Of course the collar bones in your illustration
    would scare even the rats and mice away.
