Just get up before said other person and brush your hair/clean teeth!

Have I read this wrong?! I thought you meant how to look good when you walk out of the door.

I've got a very clean mind

Yeah, just shag him til he can't see straight

K, do you have long hair?

If so, try putting it in a plait before bed. I used to do this when I had long hair, no matter how drunk.

Facial wipes! A key component of the handbag.

Ditto those Oral B throwaway toothbrushes.

If I were out to go get laid, I had a kit: condoms, a couple of facial wipes in a small plastic bag, Optrex eye drops, throwaway toothcleaner and TINTED LIP BALM!

A must b/c then it looks like you're just putting on lip balm.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser.

End of.

Youth and good looks help, too, although I no longer possess those.

A friend of mine (man seducing expert, though not lucky in love) used to get up really early(6am) and put a face full or make-up on before the seducee woke up so that she would look fantastic when he opened his eyes. She had short hair so that was never a problem. This concept was always alien to me as I guessed I thought that if they liked the dolled up party me they would have to get used to the no make-up back end of a bus look too. Now I am clinging on to my early thirties and single I think I need to change my thinking dramatically. If I wasn't so scared I would opt for tatooed make-up. Now I think there must be something to this 24hour perfection and going to get Mrs Beckham's book of hot tips.When I eventually put myself back on the market, I will ensure that I am constantly glamourous even at 4am. Well I have good intentions anyway!

I would make sure that they've seen me look like shit prior to getting them into bed (if they hadn't run a mile by then) and then it wouldnt be so much of a shock !

Men wake up and want to shag you, they don't care what you look like. And if he's any good, you'll look gorgeous - all flushed with orgasm.

If you're not, you're not going to want him to hang around anyway.

Or just snuggle in so they can't see your pasty face haha!

get some olay sunshine skin that builds up a gradual tan, with a bit of colour you will look fine, also a breath freshner under the pillow.

I so so so agree with Caligula, came onto this thread to post it and she'd got there first!

have reigned in the dates a bit... because i seem to attract, er, pervs (why? why? she wailed) and because i got p-o'ed because i never seemed to fancy anyone. think i am slightly hung up on an ex. which is a bummer. although... i am exchanging emails with a boy i kissed on nye about 6 years ago. who i recall was very nice indeed. and he had dissapeared back stateside, and i went back to my little town. and he has got back in touch..

i started this thread cos i looked at myself in the mirror a couple of days ago and suddenly though about it. dont remeber looking this shcoking a few years ago...
