“Best-selling author and motivational speaker DeAnna Bookert, founded National Wear Your Pearls Day,” confirms National Day Calendar of today’s celebration, “because they represent the story of her overcoming life’s struggles.” DeAnna declares, “I wear pearls as a reminder that I have purpose and value” (below left).

And Bookert always has her booty on blast (above right)! “I will continue to grow and flourish in my faith, love and passion,” she vows. Sounds like a recipe for suck•cess!

Indeed, the freshwater finds have long gone hand in hand with eroticism: “Pearls are truly some of the most precious weapons in a woman’s arsenal of beauty and seduction,” states the online PearlsOnlyTeam.

Adds FabFashionFix.com, “Pearls are often equated with vintage style and elegant beauty—every year we see them, every year the same thing—no matter how avant garde, no matter how trendsetting these haute couture collections are, they never forget to include the pearls.” Back to the future, as it were …

Why, there’s even a best-selling coffee table tome dedicated to the subject!

No wonder WiseWoman’s Cookery headlined an April 2013 article, “Pearls: One of the Oldest Sex Toys in History.” While graciously offering a how-to video:

This tantric ‘rope trick’ evidently provides such sensation that it’s now discharged pearly and often.

Even Intimate Medicine lends a hand: “While many women crave diamonds, many of us want pearls. If you have managed to convince your prince to buy you some valuable beads, show him how useful this investment was. Our plan is to get a man to orgasm with pearls.”

And in this age of gender equality, it works on women as well! “The Pearl Necklace Manual Stimulation Technique uses a pearl necklace to gently stimulate her vulva and clitoris during foreplay (below left),” instructs Marriage Bed Tips. Now there’s even a do-you-yourself thong of Mallorcan pearls called ‘Bracli” {from the Spanish word BRA-ga for underwear and CLI-toris} and designed as “intimate clothing with the subtle stimulation of the most sensitive parts of a woman’s body (below right).

As one satisfied wearer put it: “This underwear literally fucks with you!”

Though when your partner is present, Marriage Bed Tips explains: “The husband takes an end of the pearls and slowly drags them over his wife’s vulva {below left, maybe making use of the ones she’s wearing}.

“After a few rounds, he gently opens her lips with his free hand so that the pearls stimulate her inner lips and clitoris” (above right). Sleuth calls this technique ‘Polishing the Pearl.’

Yet far more common—and a lot less expensive—is the popular practice prescribed below left. And even more topical today, since the mammary manipulation (below right) …

… is commonly known as a ‘Russian”!

In case something gets lost in translation, please allow mesmerizing mainstream model Brook Marie Carlile of West Linn, Oregon …

… to demonstrate as she ‘moonlights’ under the nom de pornTeal Conrad:

A woman of many talents

… she believes in hands on inter•action {with an added twist on the wrists}.

Yet with a license to thrill …

… Brook/Teal is reluctant to relinquish the driver’s seat:

Sharing her birthday with Marilyn Monroe, the brunette beauty is never one to run away from a challenge.

And is rewarded with a ‘pearl necklace’ as the perfect present:

Hoops there it is … yet the orgasmic Oregon football fan still doesn’t duck.

And speaking of birthdays, her fellow porn star is celebrating hers TODAY … so let’s resume our Countdown with the New York native who’s turning 27:

30. TORI TAYLOR

Asked her advice to women who wish to improve their sex lives, the 36DD-25-38 former model muses: “First thing, get better at giving head. Trust me. Also, just don’t lay there”—even though her featured film is titled Tori Taylor Gets a Load on Her Big Juicy Tits (2016).

29. KAROLINA KURKOVA

Czech supermodel who sparked rumors when overheard at an April 2007 fashion fitting gushing over her sexual relationship with married couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (below): “She was giddy, acting like a schoolgirl.”

28. FRIDA KAHLO

Bisexual Mexican artist married promiscuous painter Diego Rivera—and both wound up sleeping with the firstlady of our Countdown, actress Paulette Goddard. Often depicting herself topless, Frida famously revealed that she was “attracted to dark nipples {like hers, above right}, but repelled by pink nipples in a woman.”

27. SUSAN SARANDON

“I think my breasts have been highly overrated,” is one of the Oscar winner’s more dubious pearls of wisdom. “For years I was more famous for my boobs than for my talent.”

“I was just sitting there talking about my breasts, touching my tits,” the outspoken activist admits of this legendary Pretty Baby scene. “It’s hard not to be upstaged by your nipples.”

26. SATIVA VERTE

A Youngstown, Ohio high school honors graduate, Lisa Fontanarosa took the name ‘Sativa’ for her love of pot—becoming Miss High Times in July 2008. When asked how she became a porn performer, she quipped: “Ohh, bloody hell—young, dumb and full of cum.” Often on her 34Cs (above right).

Her favorite fetish? “Blowjobs. I fucking love all the different size dicks and how and where I can make them explode.” Say yes to the dress (above left) … but no need for another ‘necklace’ (above right).

25. NATALIE WOOD

Sleuth’s all-time favorite beauty, Natalie was born on the exact same day as Diana Rigg of Avengers fame (July 20, 1938). She rarely left the house without her pearls, but left the yacht without them on the night she drowned. Don Henley of the Eagles wrote the song Dirty Laundry shortly after her death to express his outrage at how the tabloid press had exploited the tragedy

24. MIRANDA KERR

When the infamous Bling Ring thieves broke into her future husband Orlando Bloom’s home in 2009, “the ringleader wanted Kerr’s Victoria’s Secret lingerie.” Now wed to the founder of Snapchat, hats off to the awesome Aussie, who purrs: “I was blessed with good genetics, but my essence is happy and warm.” Like some other substance.

23. BROOKE MORALES

The former Raiderette cheerleader and Miss Hawaiian Tropic cooed, “I believe that my fingertips have magic in them. I like to pass that power on to my lover through my touch.”

Her lover Jerry Butler passed on the ‘Jewels of Jizz’ to Olga {her real name} during a pre-fame porn fling (above). “Once we’re alone,” Morales moaned, “I’m open to all that passion can offer.”

22. SARAH MILES

Second cousin to Queen Elizabeth, the elegant Essex-born Englander takes The Crown when it comes to nonchalant nudity: “There is nothing wrong with taking your clothes off if you do it properly,” she sniffs.

21. ALEXANDRA HAY

Speaking of royalty, ‘Alexandra the Great’ made her screen debut with Hollywood’s reigning ‘King and Queen’ Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn as a carhop taking their ice cream order in 1967’s Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (below).

“Hay’s career is probably best summed up as a ‘near miss,’” writes one reviewer. “She clearly had the looks and the acting chops to be a leading lady, but what she did not have was a lucky break.” As evidenced by her life coming to a shocking END (below right) in 1993 due to heart disease, at age 46.
