I'm not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day. I think it's most of all a big party for department stores (they probably make an obscene amount of money selling diamond rings and heart-shaped chocolate boxes and horrid pink king-size teddy bears) and it's just so cliched (Meeting the boy, having champagne and eating what is known as "romantic dinner", which consists of candlelit lobster or oysters or any other "aphrodisiac" kind of food). I think when you're in a relatioship every day should be a celebration. And if you're single you should celebrate the good side of it just as well (and there are many good things about being single).
Anyway, I can see everyone around me is warming up right now, so I figured I could post some Jeanloup Sieff pictures and let him give us a priceless lesson on sexyness. I think Sieff's work is one of the sexiest around (if not the sexiest). He is in the antipodes of Terry Richardson. He suggests but he doesn't show. I love his slow rythm and the way something is about to happen in his pictures but you don't quite exactly know what. I also love his fascination with women's backs, bottoms and legs... They all look uber perfect!
This is great inspiration for Valentine's Day, isn't it? So if you have planned a hot date, forget about Glamour Magazine "romantic" menus and chocolate boxes. Instead think chiaroscuro and self-assurance. 100% guaranteed to work.
