By Any Other Name...
A working for pleasure, into pleasure

You will need:
2 packs pink rose petals or
2 dozen pink spray roses (must be fragrant, recommend unsprayed, undusted, preferably from your own yard or a dear friend)

1 lb jar of raw orange blossom honey

7 veils, sheer silk preferred, but may also be sheer cotton or voile, colors are pink, and white

citrus body wash (low on the chemicals!)

1 washed navel orange, cut in half

dash of real vanilla flavoring, with alcohol

4 candles, floating or votive, white

new bed sheets

In either a metallic mixing bowl or white ceramic bowl, remove the blooms from 1 dozen roses, carefully. You want complete petals. If you were fortunate enough to find pre-packaged petals, simply dump them in the bowl. Slowly pour some spring water over the petals, balancing the bowl back and forth. Drain, but be careful not to crush.

Go change the sheets on your bed. Now, the color of the sheets depends entirely on what makes you look like you are glowing, but avoid black. That's ok as a trim or accent in a pattern (though patterns are distracting and you want all attentiopn on you), but use something that reflects light. You can't go wrong with white, and a nice rose colored set is both settling and surprising. A real energy ball of bed clothing: black comforter, red flat sheet, blush pink fitted sheet.

The sheets are satin, but a very high thread count cotton is amazing as well. Think "smooth." Put on the fitted sheet, then sprinkle half of the rose petals evenly across the sheet. Take a white veil and with a huge gesture, behind yourself, allow it to catch air and then let it drift down to the bed. Sprinkle the remaining rose petals. Admire it. Memorize the position of the veil (it should be almost invisible since it is sheer) since you will use it later. Eat one petal. Finish making the bed.

As you get closer to the hour of the seduction, you can light candles at the four points of the bed, but if your room is not properly oriented, this may not work. If you have any mirrors focused on your bed, cover them. You want the energy doubled internally, not externally. Place a whole rose blossom on the pillow of the bed. You can float a candle in a glass bowl of spring water with vanilla, one half orange and five rose petals.

Take a shower and carefully wash all parts with the body wash. Use half of the honey to smear all over your body. Stand in the shower for a moment, covered in the honey. Take the bowl of rose petals and eat one. Remember the nectar that oozed from the flower when you separated it? Time to put it back together.

Rinse yourself thoroughly, now smear the honey on again. You can rinse a bit if it's too thick, but you should be fragrant and sticky. This last application should happen when the door bell rings, or your appointed date with yourself begins. Take the wet rose petals and quickly stick them to yourself. Dumping them over your breasts and other parts is a great way to start.

Get out of the tub and wrap yourself in the remaining veils, layering them, slowly, and seductively. DO NOT TIE THEM. They should be slightly tucked, but the ends visible.

Go answer the door in a sheer robe. Drop it. Thus begins your dance of the 7 veils back to your bedroom...don't forget to use the final veil and roses!
