73 Questions... Vogue style

Being reservedly unashamed to rip off Vogue’s very creative 73 questions with…… but it does provide a perfect opportunity to test yourself on a number of fronts. Have a look at one of the vogue videos before you start and you can get the sense of what to do. http://video.vogue.com/series/73-questions

Answer the questions as quickly as possible – the first thing that pops into your head. You will be surprised at what the answer is. Nope – it won’t be a perfect answer. People who are able to think quickly on their feet are more likely to make connections and seize verbal opportunities. Also note your choice in language, the way you express or articulate an answer. I was pretty impressed at some of the celebrities about how they phrase responses, never undo an answer, are quite eloquent in expression and speak confidently. Can you do that? If not – keep practicing!
