ELIZABETH ROSE
“Kissing is a means of getting two people so close together that they can’t see anything wrong with each other.” – Rene Yasenek
The first kiss; that wonderful moment of exploration, the thrill of first contact and even better that single moment of anticipation just before your lips meet.
I love the build up to the first kiss, who doesn’t? The will-he, won’t-he game through the evening, and then the final satisfaction as his lips press to yours. Of course, in all our fantasies this kiss is perfect. Your knees tremble and in your heart glimmers a new certainty that this is “the one”.
In reality… while your focus is on the kiss – he is trying to get to second base and suddenly you realise your romantic Paris postcard is in fact a snog with a drunk who’s hands are very publicly trying to make their way inside your bra.
Of course, there are those truly magical first kisses, the start of something wonderful. These I have learned about through movies or song lyrics. A good kiss in the world of Elizabeth Rose rarely remains just that – largely as my libido takes control shortly after and if he hasn’t already got his hand inside my bra, I’ve taken it off and am clambering bodily on him. I try not to engage in first kisses in public these days – partly as I’m no longer allowed on the TTC.

My best first kiss with anyone had to be at a fancy dress party when I was about nineteen. I was dressed as a hula girl, and the fella was playing in the band. My chat up line was – you’re not dressed up, can I paint your face?. This was not an aphorism for kissing. I actually had face paints. He agreed and I made him a tiger. I showed him his reflection in my pocket mirror and he said ‘Raar’ and pounced on me. The kiss was half funny half sexy. I heard his mates in the background saying ‘I feel like I’m watching porn. Really weird porn’. When we surfaced we were both all smathered in orange and white and black and laughing. It was cool. But in general, first kisses: over-rated. The best ones come later on.
