Equally as important as an expert hostess at any party is the experienced guestie, who is familiar with what is expected of them at a social event.

For example, moi carefully POSED the picture on the left to demonstrate that, however tempting it might be to essay the casual yet sexy shot, it has the potential for disaster, offering the possibility of revealing your shortcomings.  Fortunately, in moi's case, careful arrangement of moi's dress avoided this pitfall, which is not to say that moi HAS shortcomings, of course.

Let moi show you how moi's friends demostrate the essence of a good guestie

Jennice, recognizing protocol must be established, agrees immediately to POSE

She then mingles and permits others to photograph her too, thereby making other guesties comfortable with the notion of POSING

Next, she follows established tradition and POSES with moi

And then has the good grace to introduce Nycki, the next guestie we shall follow

Nycki, newly arrived, immediately accepts the offer to POSE with SOME DUDE who, in another life, bears a distinct resemblance to Sindy

Followed by the customary POSE with moi

She then agrees to display her sylph-like figure....

...apparently immune from the effects of consuming deep fried egg rolls

Once protocol is established, it is but the work of a moment to line up sundry other guesties for their customary POSES
