You don't know it, but...

...my favorite look would be not be replete without...

:)Fishnets
:)Lace
:)A little leather
:)Long black gloves
:)Matte red lipstick
:)False eyelashes
and
:)Whale bone (or a reasonable facsimile)

You can tell a lot about a person from their favorite look.


But I only used that as segue to my most recent life philosophy...

Self-dating! {very exciting}
Pick yourself up~~~Tell yourself a joke (make a good one- you've got a pretty lady to impress). Laugh uproariously. Flip hair. Re-cross legs. 'Unconsciously' run your finger from your neck to your clavicle.

Take yourself home~~~Make some coffee, margaritas, cocoa, whatever. Light that new Glade* aromatherapy candle you got on a whim from Wal Mart yesterday. Put on a little music-Coldplay or Maxwell will do. Read a sensual poem (Pablo Neruda perhaps?) to yourself. Listen to how sexy your voice is. Catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. Turn it over in your mind what you might do to that sweet little thing in the reflection. Ah, yes, the poem...back to the poem! The words flow out of your mouth like so many tongue-knotted cherry stems.

Slip into something a little more comfortable~~~A hot shower should do the trick. Pay attention to every soapalicious slip. Feel the steam slowly open every pore. Towel off.

Seal the deal.

Eat an entire pint of ice cream.

Do something fun~~~Like color. Or buy and eat another pint of delicious Brownie Batter Ben & Jerries*

Drift to sleepy sleep~~~Don't worry about the drool on your face. Your date thinks you're amazing anyway!
