HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY?
(Rolling Stones)

After showing how to hide, it's now about time to stand out from the crowd.

 But let's take baby steps;
 We provide you with a few advices to strengthen your position in the digital world
 and 
today's ruling society,
 accompanied by some beauty products and accessoires which will do the rest. 


The whole story after the jump. 

1. 
SOCIAL NETWORKS

Besides facebook make sure to join ever other social network there is
google+
tumblr
twitter
instagram
pinterest


2. 
LIKE
follow and make yourself worth following
the easy rule: the more you like you'll get liked

e.g. optional posts for tumblr-starters:
"ask me any-anything"
"for every repost I give you extra followers"
or a simply
"follow me, i'll follow you"

3. 
ATTEND
Before you get the invitation to every hip event in town (or one day around the globe) make sure to:  
add some cool "friends"
who get at least a few of them
start "attending" 
(first step is pushing the button)
find out the people behind the events
add them
if you're done with step 4, attend (in real life)

4. 
GET THE LOOK
have simply the nicest clothes
use the "busy"
"just-don't-have-the-time-to-take-much-care-of-my-look-so-this-outfit-is-so-random"-look
sneakers
cashmere sweater
high-end-accessoire
sunglasses
the busier you look the more attention you will get
(in case of doubt always rather overdress than underdress) 

5. 
STREETSTYLE PHOTOGRAPHERS
be at the events
answer a shy, slightly annoyed "okay" if the streetstyle hunters want to take a photo of you

6. 
THE PHOTO
be the main role, but don't overdue it
tilt your head
cross your legs
act like you're laughing about an insider joke your friend just told
(doesn’t really matter that she/he isn’t even there)

7. 
WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
(but you need a smartphone)
take pictures of nice food
usa an extra photo filter - so even the frozen pizza looks 
quite nice
take pictures of yourself
(candlelight flatters almost everyone)

8. 
ADD SOME VINTAGE
oldie but goldie should be a regularly used topic of your new "presence"
get some vintage furniture
thrifted clothing
and 
have some super stylish looking old family pictures with you

 9. 
WHINE AND COMPLAIN
mention how ugly you feel today
how badly you need to go to the haircutter
to the manicure
you can be pretty sure the answer will be
"you look so pretty, you actually ARE pretty."
well, thanks.
(note: this will only work if your claim is not exactly according with the real situation.)

 10. 
DISCUSS
you
a second person who is less familiar with the topic you are going to discuss about
a third person listening

11. 
STYLE ICON
If you already found out what looks good on you buy ten pieces of it.
Congrats! You have a "look"
from now on it's about getting comfortable

12. 
WIKIPEDIA
compose an entry about yourself
(even better: let someone else do it for you)

           13. 
          DONE
If you are comfortable with all of this - good luck:
your ego will grow like a little plant 
(at least in public)


If not - go out and and play with your friends.
