Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire "courting"?

"O gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, I'll frown and be perverse and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo: but else, not for the world." - William Shakespeare
So, at the moment, I'm being courted. (insert batting eyelashes here) A girl used to jumping either into a relationship or the sack with someone scratches her head at the "courting" notion, though she's been longing for it, complaining at the lack of it, for years. There is nothing worse than someone you just met shoving their tongue down your throat mid-conversation. In this day and age, how does one tame technology-infused ADHD, take a breather and a step back, relax and enjoy the courtship? And what in the hell is courting anyway exactly? Join me as I head straight to the experts to find out...












Um, well, ok, I think I have a better picture now. Let the courtship begin! xoxo

Seduction from Within...

"Seduction from Within – The most beautiful setting using the most amazing props will never work, even for a good-looking man, if he lacks important inner qualities. This, unfortunately, is something that most males fail to understand. Seduction is not all about creating the greatest impact. The most successful seductions ploys, in fact, sometimes require no external aid.

To successfully seduce a woman, you must first be comfortable with yourself and with what you're doing. You must be confident about who you are and what you plan to do. You must never pretend to be anyone else except yourself. Humor is great but if you're not the type to make jokes then don't.

Timing is Essential – Most seduction ploys require perfect timing: when we say perfect timing, that doesn't mean each and every minute is accounted for, but rather, it's crucial for you to instinctively look for the right time to make the right move. Other seduction ploys however require you to rush in and not give your date time to think or even breathe.

Control, Control, Control – Repeat that to yourself every time you're tempted to do something you already know would ruin your seduction plan. Remember: good things come to those who wait!" - Mario Churchill

one day i will get back to me

Photo from:  The Circus Book: 1870-1950

molding clay
hands spread deep in paint publishing thoughts on canvas
the words seeping from my pursed lips, fingertips
the scent of autumn in louisiana, summer in spain
ooh la la, she says
one day i will get back to me...

standing tall
man's white button-down, hugging bell-bottoms
hip bones at attention, dancing in moccasins
bedhead twisted up in a chignon
ooh la la, she says
one day i will get back to me...

dreams come true
the darkness, a case for reference only
sunshine, beaches and fine old fashioneds with a soulful twist
love on my tongue, smile in my eyes
ooh la la, she says
one day i will get back to me...

thinking happy
compassion from the heart
lightness in my step
a rainbow of patience and strength soothing this shell
ooh la la, she says
one day i will get back to me...

uncontrollable laughter
a meeting of the minds, an exchange of life
choices unimpaired
where moderation is natural and love is mutual
ooh la la, she says
one day i will get back to me...

one day i will get back to me...

one day i will get back to me...

one day i will get back to me...

one day i will get back to me...
