The Fine Art of Skirt-Lifting

An ancient gesture of female power, the uncovering of a creamy thigh, plump bottom, or dark, mysterious vee has been a staple of seduction for thousands of years. Aphrodite undraped her behind, Victorian ladies bared their ankles, French Follies dancers did the cancan, Monroe stood over a subway grating with skirt billowing, and female hitchhikers the world over raise their skirts to ensure getting a ride. If it’s been working all these years, there must be something to it.

The attitude
Never forget that what you have under your skirt is the Mystery of Mysteries, the Holy Grail that men dream about, scheme over, and sometimes lose their minds and fortunes trying to acquire. The ultimate feminine power emanates like waves from the dar and dangerous cave between your legs. So tease, beckon, flaunt, reveal but conceal. Remember, you’ve got it, they want it.

The skirt
The best skirt for lifting is: something filmy that reveals hints of the secret underneath; something tight that hugs, bun not clenches, your curves; something short and flirty that could “accidentally” reveal more than intended; something long and billowy that flows with every step and hip sway; something with a tigh-high slit; or something spandex if you got the figure for it. The worst is: anything long and baggy (comfortable but sexless); anything that would be considered “business regulation” (boring),anything you can’t walk in (how would you lift it?),anything too tight.

The Underpinnings
You want to uncover something that’s really worth looking at, so your underwear is crucial. Wear lacy panties that look easy to rip off, a sexy garter belt and stockings,a beautiful thong, thigh-high, lace-topped stockings without panties,- or absolutely nothing. On your feet, wear high heels or go barefoot. Do not under any circumstances wear panty hose, knee-highs, or Birkenstocks.

The Styles
The Hitchhiker: Scrunch up skirt on one side to reveal a thigh. Toe-pointing crucial.
The Sharon Stone Cross: Sensuously hike skirt on both sides, then sit with thighs very slightly parted. Cross, uncross, and recross your legs.
The Aphrodite Drop: Undrape one fanny cheek from the top. Glance over your shoulder to look at it, then at him. Or drop your skirt to the floor in one fell swoop.
The Cancan: Flash him with one quick, full raise—front or back.
The Madonna Power Hike: In Body of Evidence, Madonna’s character stands atop a car hood, legs akimbo. She locks eyes with Willem Dafoe, slowly lifts her skirt to just above crotch level, raises her arms above her head, and silently dares him to come and get it.
Lolita: Wear a short skirt, bend over just enough to be naughty but still remain a lady.
The Gypsy: Raise your long, full skirt high on both thighs, but leave the middle draping down in front. Point one toe to the side, cock the other hip, look sultry.
The Monroe Butterfly: In a famous snapshot, Marilyn stands over a subway grating, high-heeled legs spread, and tries to hold her skirt down as the wind billows it up all around. If you can’t arrange for a rogue breeze, twirl around to create a similar effect. Smile and look innocent.
The Subliminal Lift: Whisper to him what you are wearing, or not wearing, beneath your skirt, and he will mentally lift it for you.
