style.uk.msn.com: The dos and don’ts of flirting

Posted on January 7th, 2013 in Celebrity,News,Press Cuttings,TV

Fabulous flirter Gok Wan makes it look so easy – whether he’s talking to a man or a woman, he manages to say and do just the right thing to make them feel good. “And that’s really what flirting is all about – giving the other person’s confidence a boost,” says sexpert Dr Pam Spurr. But to do that, you first need to get their attention. Then you need to make sure your flirting comes across as genuine. And to do that, you need to follow certain rules.

Do love your body. Gok Wan tells his viewers to look at themselves in the mirror and say, “I’m fabulous and deserve to look this good.” We’d suggest taking it one step further. “Make a list of your best physical traits,” says sex therapist Dr Ian Kerner. “Write out the top three in each. Then”, says Kerner, “use those in your morning mantra. So you have something like, ‘I’m fabulous because I’ve got beautiful lips, smooth skin and glossy hair.’ That way, when you talk to a man you’ll be oozing confidence.”

What SLINK had to say about our collaboration…

SLiNK magazine adores Gok’s fashionable take on shapewear. The collection Gok does with Simply Be always feels romantic, vintage and super glamorous and puts other shapewear to shame. We really wanted to celebrate the fact that for once there is an exclusive collection for curvier women that feels fresh, modern and totally sexy as well as having a fantastic functional aspect. The shoot was based around the theatrics of showgirls and oozes the glamour that every woman can feel in Gok’s amazing lingerie collection.

What the lovely people at SLINK are all about….

At SLiNK magazine we promote a healthy lifestyle and body confidence, without the guilt trip.

Our tagline is ‘Fashioning Your Curves, Styling Your Life’ as we believe no matter what size you are you can be on trend and living life to the max.

We talk health and fitness NOT diets and bikini bodies.

Our food section is all about great ingredients, not calorie counting, it’s all about moderation.

The fashion is an eclectic mix of high-street, high-end and online that fits up to a size 22 (although we do try to go 32 where we can) and with price points to suit every purse.

Each issue is packed with short, snappy, articles that you’ll actually want, and have time, to read. Plus great beauty, travel and culture.

Times are a-changing and SLiNK magazine is ahead of the curve – in fact We Are the Curve.
