Pamela’s Lesson

Pamela was proof that the seductive arts can be learned. She did it (much the way you are now) by soaking up the lessons of the greats and assessing her particular strengths. As a girl, Pam was fascinated by Sirens such as Lady Randolph Churchill (Winston’s mother), Emma Hamilton (the mistress of Admiral Nelson), and the great courtesans of long ago. Later, she befriended the Duchess of Windsor who, no beauty herself, had famously robbed England of its King. Pam carefully emulated the Duchess’s “anticipation of the Duke’s every need and adoption of his every interest,” surpassing her mentor in zeal. Pam had her men believing they were masters of the universe—or at least of the universe she was in.

Pam claimed her high-placed conquests were never by design but a happy accident. Don’t believe a word of it. In wartime London, Pam wouldn’t give a soldier the time of day unless he had a rank of considerable consequence. When she saw something she liked, she dove—and believe me, he was never without a sizable bank account. From Aly Khan, a world-class womanizer, she learned the technique of concentrating her whole attention on one conquest at a time, even when someone more important walked into a room.

“I don’t think she is ever truly happy without a man in her life,” said Pam’s son Winston. In fact, she was quite lost. Being a Siren was the foundation of her whole sense of self. “When Pamela met a man she adored,” said a friend, “she just unconsciously assumed his identity.” For Fiat heir Agnelli, she turned Catholic and spoke in an Italian accent. For French banking scion Rothschild, she became an expert on the family vineyards, art, and eighteenth-century furniture. Moving from Agnelli to Rothschild, she changed her telephone greeting from “Pronto!” to “Ici, Pam.” She baffled friends during a game of charades when she couldn’t come up with English words. She lavished on men “geisha-like” attentions that included, it was rumored, expert sex she didn’t much care for herself.

“A beautiful woman is one I notice,” said John Erskine, “a charming woman is one who notices me.” Had Pam been more beautiful, we might be down one seductress. Charm is partly a talent for concentrating on others—and the technique is by no means exclusive to the Mother or Companion Siren. You don’t need to adopt his religion, or nationality, or jump into his skin, but even in moderation, a little Pamela can be a marvelous thing. It’s true what they say: men (and not just men) seek to be validated. Few can resist unconditional love when it comes their way. I’ve seen Sirens succeed through devotion—if not at first, then over the long term.

“ PAMELIZE” THEM

“The way a cowboy and a fine horse could cut a steer out from a herd for branding,” Pam singled a man out in the crowd. Sitting down with him for five or ten minutes, she focused on what he’d been doing, how he felt—talking in her “throaty, conspiratorial whisper” that said, “this is just between us.
