Take a nap before the party, you want to make sure you have enough energy to last all night – and part of the next morning if needed. Pancakes, anyone? Make sure you have a long hot shower before you go – want to stay fresh through all  the funky moves you’ll be doing. Make multiple playlists -House. Rap. R&B. Funk. Grunge. EDM. Go-Go. Soca. Reggaeton. Hell, even country (yee-haw ride ‘em) -be ready for whatever the mood is. Your outfit has to be moveable – no uber tight pants or super high heels. Gum. Lighters and an extra usb to charge your phone. Better yet, a battery pack. And cash -small bills, bills, bills. ALWAYS have a few coins on ya fo’ tippin’ or strippin’ – who knows where the night will end. TAKE NOTHING PERSONAL – it’s haters everywhere, don’t let that stop yo’ shine. So, dance like EVERYONE’s watching, because -duh- they are. LIVE like your Aubrey. Be open and friendly, especially to the introverts and wallflowers. Do a hustle – doesn’t matter which one. Kiss someone – if you’re single. Sneak, if you’re not. [Wink, Wink].
