How to Blend In with a Crowd. Whether transferring to a new school or traveling abroad, this
guide will make you a chameleon in any environment. You will need Plain clothing Hat Glasses Makeup
Knowledge of enviornment Friend and research skills (optional). Step 1. Dress in plain,
clean clothes with muted colors that are neither too dated nor too hip -- avoid bright logos
and graphics. Ask people you know who are attending the event what they will be wearing,
and what they think others will wear. Step 2. Match the crowd's behavior by copying what
the people around you are doing -- if they are jumping and screaming, be sure to do the
same. Stick to the most dense part of the crowd, individuals around the perimeter are
easier to spot. Step 3. Hide your features with a hat or glasses and use makeup to cover
scars, birthmarks, or tattoos that may separate you from the other clones. Step 4. Learn the
language and be familiar with the culture and customs of a foreign country to avoid
standing out. Step 5. Buddy up with another lost soul in a similar situation -- after
all, it's more difficult to single someone out in a crowd when there are two of you.
Did you know Squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish can change color to match their surroundings,
despite the fact that cephalopods are color blind.
