Sashay Scale depicts your interactions with other people. You can't miss Sashay. Sashay Chante. You better work! Covergirl. Work it girl; do a twirl. (That's my one and only RuPaul impersonation.)
Sashay Scale wants to know what kind of assertiveness do others have over you? How much can others influence you? How much pressure do you require before acting or deciding? Do you gain strength from being around others or does it drain your energy? What feelings of energy do you experience in an interaction?
Sashay divides the Sisters Grid horizontally. Depending on how you Find
Your Spot on the dance floor, you either Sashay
Left or Sashay Right. Sashay divides the Sisters
Grid horizontally, and how you Find
Your Spot on the dance floor will place you on the left or right side
of the scale.
Sashay Right
Sashay Right Sisters tend to not be readily influence by others. These Sisters tend to be less yielding in decisions and purpose. They are the ones who love to be in the middle of a crowd and gain energy levels when they are the center of attention. In fact, not being in a crowd can be draining for these Sisters. They like to drive and push for things, and sometimes they can push too hard. Assertive, clearly. Sisters like Tina and Stacey are sometimes the easiest to identify because of Sashay Right. You can't miss them.
