Article: You probably own some items that you can use with your new style. Not only will this make your transformation cheaper and easier, your well-worn clothes will add authenticity to your rockstar look. Sort clothes into sections. Note what percentage of your clothes are darks, whites, or bright colors. Dark colors and blacks are common for rockstar style. If you have a large percentage of bright colors, look to pair them with darks for balance. Repurpose clothes. If you have plaid shirts, wear them loosely with a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. This will give you a simple, versatile grunge rock look. Take a new look at old clothes. Tattered and torn clothes are popular in rockstar fashion. Several patches, or a large band patch on the back, can transform an ordinary denim jacket into a common rockstar emblem. Patches or pins can make clothing or a bag seem more personal or add an edge to ordinary clothes. Jeans are important for rockstar looks because they are durable and they don't need regular care. They are consistently in style, and they are versatile. Skinny jeans expand your options without stretching your budget. Low maintenance clothes are especially important for musicians that may need wear the same clothes multiple times while on tour. The right leather coat, a denim jacket, or a blazer can elevate the rest of your wardrobe. The right jacket can add edge and personality to the rest of your clothes. Invest in stylish and durable outerwear that best suits the type of rockstar style that you are emulating. Many stores also sell cheaper pleather, or fake leather, jackets. This could be a good option if you're on a tight budget or are only looking to wear a rockstar look for a short period of time. Unless you are emulating a glam rock star style, you are most likely to look like an authentic rockstar by keeping it cheap. At a thrift store, you can find various styles at inexpensive prices. You also will have a one-of-a-kind look that others will not be able to imitate. Unclaimed dry cleaning can occasionally be bought cheaply, though dry cleaners are more likely to donate unclaimed clothes to charities. Nevertheless, laws regulating unclaimed property vary by state so you may find a dry cleaner that will sell you unique items at discounted prices.

Article: Stop being social, and give them as cold a shoulder as you can. This is definitely a last resort, as it meets rudeness with rudeness, but some guests are so dense as to never take a hint. When your guest begins to feel more like the cable guy and less an invited guest, the door will be all the more appealing. Don't leave them happy, though. Plenty of terrible guests would be thrilled to sit watching your big TV in silence. Act as though the TV is "out of order," and tell them that they're on their own for dinner. Stop being a host, and start being a roommate. Forget boring, if you know your overstaying guest well enough, do whatever bugs them. Play obnoxious music, insist on reciting Elizabethan poetry, keep the channel locked on C-SPANwhatever you have to do. House guests who overstay do so because, for whatever effort it would take to leave, they'd rather stay where they are. Turn that reasoning on its head, and your guest will be out the door in moments. If you haven't a good friend there to move your guest to the door, invite one over. Then, pay exclusive attention to them. Make the overstay-er feel as though they're intruding on an intimate meeting of good friends. This, hopefully, will reveal the guest's impoliteness more clearly and have them apologizing all the way to the door. For guests who stay several nights, pretend this good friend has come to take the room they had been using. Make this appear to be a long-standing invitation, so the overstay-er has no choice but to find new room and board. This is the ultimate last resort, and there's not much to it. For the guest for whom none of the above had any effect, there is nothing else to do than to tell them, directly: "You need to leave." By this point, don't ask them to leavetell them. Do as bars do: shut off the lights, hang up the chairs. Make it unthinkable to stay any longer.

Ignore your guest(s). Do something they don't like. Entertain someone else. Tell them to leave.
Article: Stand about a foot away from the pole while facing it. Hold onto the pole with your dominant hand. Bring up the leg on the same side of your body as the hand that is holding the pole. Then, bring your leg up to the pole as you wrap your other hand around it. Flex your foot and place it on one side of the pole, with your knee on the other side. You'll need to use this leg to really anchor yourself to the pole, and create a sturdy base for your other foot to land on. Now, pull your body up with your hands. Swing your free leg around, and hook the back of the foot behind the first foot. Place the knee of the leg on the pole, so you have a firm grip on the pole with both of your knees. Your legs will now create a platform for you to use as you climb the pole. Move your hands about 1 foot (0.3m) up the pole to give yourself room to straighten out. Then, pull your knees up. Use your abdominal muscles to pull up your knees about one to two feet. After you bend your knees, lean back a bit and then squeeze the pole with your leg muscles. Use your leg strength to straighten your body as your hands move up the pole. Repeat these steps a few more times until you've reached the top of your pole or the end of your comfort level. This move will help you climb the pole while getting a great workout. Plus, you will look sexy in the process. You can slide down using the basic fireman slide, which means just holding onto the pole with your arms and legs as you slide. Or, you can hold on to the pole with your hands and release your legs just for a moment. Bring them out in front of you and rock your hips as you move your legs down to the ground. This method will take a bit longer to master but it will look and feel fantastic.

Face the pole. Wrap your leg around the pole. Wrap your other leg around the pole. Move your hands and knees 1 foot (30cm) up the pole. Squeeze the pole with your legs. Repeat these steps until you're done climbing. Slide down the pole.
