Rung on the ladder

Someone has to advocate for the finer things in life, so throw an exemplary party—for no particular occasion. Invite some people who don't know but will enjoy one another. Tell them what to wear, but don't say "casual," say "sexy" or "Rat Pack." When they ask what they can bring, say, "Just a good mood." Do not talk business, and if you hear it being talked, nip it in the bud. Mandate dancing or games. Take pictures. Flirt. Take a walk on the wild side.

If you find yourself alone and panicked at a familiar face whose name escapes you, grab a hand and say, "You look fantastic!" It will never occur to your acquaintance that you have no idea who he or she is.

It's better to be overdressed than underdressed. People will assume you are going to or coming from something better.
