Swimming in a sea of delectable lingerie over at vogue.com in preparation for a St. Valentine’s day get in the mood feature, my thoughts are on passion, sex appeal and the body. Sex appeal, or magnetism, is deeply rooted emotional power matched with smoldering good looks. How do you get it? If you’re lucky, the stars or your genes loaded you up at birth allowing for a head start. Developing passion and keeping it radiant is definitely something I relish working on. Fashion magazines (and porn) objectify frustratingly, but with the right mindset and a sensitive approach while viewing, they make a great tuning fork. Using a keen eye, I notice what draws me in then customize and add to my cache. Rihanna visibly overflows with passion. Her voice and presence is a fiery reminder that well toned curves, daring experimentation and raw honesty are powerful aphrodisiacs. Arousal is her natural state and her engine-red hair underscores a well-tended bonfire.
