nice hand...
Of course I always knew there was something deliciously naughty about accidently revealing my undergarments.
I went to an all girls Catholic school.
God forbid there should be a flash of bloomer poking out from beneath one's casually hitched up sports skirt when the boys' school visited!
Heaven help the girl who had rolled her waistband into a sausage, enabling a cheeky peek of buttock when strolling past the visiting chemistry students and dropping one's books..
Oh yes, dear reader, I realised early that a tempting peek of something forbidden was an insanely titillating pleasure, both to oneself and one's drooling audience.
It remains no secret to me that a beguiling glimpse can be more tantalizing than a full exposure. (Although I'm relatively sure that if any one of the Year 12 girls had stripped off and run through the school naked, those Chemistry boys would have ejaculated in unison into their petri dishes.)
Nonetheless, most adolescent chemistry students will tell you there is nothing more erotic than a flash of forbidden flesh.
And while in olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking,
now, heaven knows, it is not necessarily sexy that "anything goes"...
With the abundance of gratuitous flesh both on the screen, the street and bulging, muffin-style, from too-tight jeans in the supermarket, it is rather more exciting to see a return to seductive concealment - and it's minxy partner, oops revealment.
Oh, how much more of a turn-on it is to imagine what is underneath, rather than have it bared extensively and without provocation...
And herein, of course, lies the magic of The Minx, the essence of The Femme Fatale, the secret of The Seductress.
While there is nothing more delightful than the female form in a state of undress,
in everyday experience the thrill is lost if it becomes ubiquitous.
For maximum enticement, it is more exciting to leave the thrill of potential undressing for those places secluded and sensuous, possibly even verboten,
to be hinted at, of course, whenever it seems most 'accidental'.
There is nothing more alluring than the slip of the spaghetti strap,
the 'unintentional' brush of a bare knee against a trousered thigh
or the sudden whisper of wind that reveals an elegantly stockinged leg.
Delicious enchantment is delivered through discretion...for discretion implies secrecy, and secrecy is so seductive...
It is said that a Minx is a woman who uses her seductive skills, her feminine wiles,
to beguile men...
Why, of course she does, and while it may appear effortless, none of it is by accident. Although it really must look like it is...
For example, darlings...
1. Adjust your clothing; let's say stockings, or bra strap, as if you were trying to do it discreetly.
2. Touch yourself in places you would like him to linger (not there, of course), your throat, hair, face, your decolletage...
3. Always cross and uncross your legs slowly, allowing your stiletto heel to dangle provocatively from one foot.
4. Wear deliciously sensuous and touchable fabrics...silk, velvet, cashmere...
5. Visit the powder room alone. Bewitch every man in the room by gliding with ease and elegance across the floor in your stilettos. (Please, girls, be very careful here of alcoholic beverages combined with slippery surfaces...yes, this is a cautionary tale..)
6. Cultivate a signature scent but wear it lightly so that your suitor has to lean in close to smell it.
This light touch in all you do, this effortlessly natural and gentle seduction, should be applied to all you do for Maximum Minxiness...
Oh yes, of course, if you've got it flaunt it!
However, if you are a true minx, you won't need to...
It will be so much more exciting, and enticing, to keep those cards close to your chest until you're ready to show your hand...
or your thigh...
mmmm...
nice hand...

Is it getting rather warm in here, or is it just me?
It is true, that the best flirtation and seduction is never blatant or obvious. It's the tease, the tantilizing, the titillation...the promise of what lies beneath. That's what gets the juices flowing.
When did women forget this?!
Perhaps you can bring a bit of the magic back my dear, these young women need you. The Minx's Guide to Releasing Your Inner Sex Kitten.

Goodness, Likely, it IS rather warm.
I have even worked myself into a bit of a lather.
It seems I may have to remove some of those sensuous fabrics and fan myself with them...
I could always use my nice hand, I suppose...

Darling Margot,
It is sad that this knowledge has been lost along the way...and I do believe a Renaissance is imminent.
It is curious that you mention the heralding of it, dear friend, for I am onto it!!
It is what I work on, tirelessly...
There is so much beauty, so much more allure, in what lies beneath...
It fascinates me, endlessly..
A woman to my own heart, indeed...
xox
lordy lord i wish every woman still breathing on this forsaken earth could read this...how true!my darling once again you have simply outdone yourself!
and thank you for the tips i sure could use them in my coming date...
;)
by the way,as fashion trends keep going back in time i cannot wait for the gowns in their massive layers of skirts,the corsets and the hats not to mention the masquerade masks....mh-mh!
Oh Minks! You put the CLASS, GRACE and STYLE back into all that is sexy, sensual, stimulating, and suggestive.
Unfortunately this "new" Hollywood has been long since forgotten the ART of working so hard to look effortlessly tastefully beautiful.
Thank you for redefining the meaning once again!
You're the top!
The brain is the biggest, most quishy, throbbing erogenous zone of all...
I'm with maisha, your advice should be compulsory reading for every pubescent girl on the planet.......men love the chase
I will make my daughter read your blog soon...I will!
A return to the art of seduction, both delicious and discreet, is one worth learning, isn't it Maisha?
I imagine you would come top of the class in this subject, darling.
And oh yes, clothing elaborate and fanciful is always sexy when the temptation of what lies beneath is implied, not obvious...
xox
Darling Meleah,
As far as creating allure is concerned, there is certainly much more exertion involved than one imagines in making it all look so effortless...
It really is an art, isn't it...
At the same time, "effortless" can never look "easy", for we all know there is more value in something that has to be worked for...
It is all a delicious enigma, but class, grace and style never go out of fashion, do they darling?
xox
Oh Maisha,
Good luck with your date, darling!!!
xox
Oh Whit,
I do like to up the ante!
xox
Dearest Thinista,
The thrill of the chase is fundamental.
While it's fairly easy to titillate that other throbbing erogenous zone, maintaining the interest of the brain is vital for good play.
It is indeed an Art, a gentle art and one that deserves a revival.
xox
Sylvie darling,
There may have to be some gentle censorship!!!
Hee!
There are certainly some sensitive lessons to be learned within the flickering pages of my blog, I will agree - and rather a few cautionary tales too!!!
For these slips I am eternally grateful.
While I seem to have learned many of my lessons the hard way I firmly believe mistakes are an excellent tool of education!!
You, mon cherie, will be a marvellous tutor for your daughter, with your delicious and delicate charm.

ah minx... again you have made the art of seduction... truly an art... there is much to be said for this feminine whiles stuff... i just don,t know who to say it to!!!!!!!
excellent as always.....
Paisley darling,
Even if we whisper it only to ourselves, dear girl, it is a flirtatious fascination worth entertaining.
It gives us good excuse for a little pampering at the very least.
Kisses xox
You should have been head mistress of all the girl's schools then we wouldn't have to endure crotch shots by the cameraman, or repeated vulgar gyrating on tv or in the movies. If I want "X rated" I can buy it but I don't like it forced on me. The majority of the young people are too busy getting screwed and have no idea of lovemaking. They have no class and they've even taken the cynic out of cynicisim. This of which you speak is an art worked at its finest. Seduction is the thrill of the game. Clothing worn to entice and parfum dabbed sparingly. Yes, Minx you have done an exquitite job explaining some of the oldest tricks of allurement. Well done. Fabulous. oxox
Hmmm, methinks this should be your book.... A girls guide how to entice, entrap and allure. Bound to be a best seller.
You are a goddess and I love it. :)
