One of the trademark characteristics of a seductress is not
just the enchantment of her presence; it is the way her presence lingers as she
leaves her seductive mark. This week I
am sharing with you some of my top-secret tricks for leaving a mark on those
you encounter, and by virtue, a powerful memory.
Flavored Lip-Gloss
Using just a touch of flavored lip gloss in the center of
the lips applied for the purpose of a goodbye kiss, will leave your lover
smacking on strawberry all day long, giving them a sensory trigger to remember
what happened the last time they saw you.
The Art Of Seductive Fragrance
I always take Coco Chanel’s advice and apply my fragrance to
the back of my neck, as that is where I most enjoy being kissed. When I apply my fragrance, I do it sparingly.
A fragrance that is too strong sends up a message of “don’t come any closer”,
acting as an olfactory shield or barrier.
When perfume is applied discreetly it becomes inviting, beckoning
someone to come closer. A great way to get
a person to come closer to drink from the potion of your fragrance is to ask if
you can tell them a secret. This could
be anything, a real secret you’d like them to know, a whisper of how much you
enjoy their company, etc. Another
seduction technique frequented by The Harlequin (the woman whose most seductive
trait is her funny bone) is to say something like “can I tell you a secret?
Come closer…. there’s a fish in my purse”.
Wait a beat, and then follow with “just kidding…I just wanted to get
closer to you for a second, you smell so good.”
Works every time.

Wear Something Remarkable
My stylist friend Hilary Rushford recently told me “if you
want to look remarkable, wear something that people will remark on”. I remember when I got to the final interview
for my dream job once. I made a bold statement by wearing a flaming red pants suit. When I left the job 6 years later, the woman
who interviewed me told me that was something she would never, ever forget, and
was one of the reasons she hired me in the first place.
Bubble Yum
Before a date, I sometimes buy a pack of bubble-yum so that
I show up with sweet, pink, bubbly breath.
The sight and smell of bubble yum is not only enjoyable, it conjures up
memories of being a kid and having a crush on the girl with pink bubble gum in
her mouth. Tee-hee!
Leave Something Behind
My friend Veronica Varlow talks about the magic of our
hairpins. A hairpin contains your unique
magic, and leaving one behind in a bathroom or on a pillow leaves a reminder of
you. I like to do this with costume
jewelry like a bangle here or there.
Once I left a tissue with my lipstick on it on a bathroom sink, which
received rave reviews. Or if you are
feeling really saucy, leaving your panties lost in the blankets of a lover’s bed
will definitely get the message across.
Double tee-hee!
Glitter
Whenever I perform burlesque I absolutely shower myself in
glitter. Glitter is very contagious, it
seems like if you just look in a persons direction with glitter on you leave
them in a sheen of your fairy dust.
Giving people a hug or a kiss on the cheek with glitter on always leaves
a sparkly reminder of that one moment when they got to bask in your heavenly,
shining presence.

Whatever your mark is, it is divine, as it is a reminder of
you
One time I had makeup all over my hand and I accidentally
touched a wall in the home of a gentleman caller, leaving a giant handprint on
the wall. I was so embarrassed! But
wouldn’t you know, a year later, that handprint was still there? And it is not
by accident. Remember that anything that
serves as a reminder of you is magic, because you are magic.
Be bold sweet friends!
Love,
Kitty Cavalier
