Svengali anyone? Word o' the day

Svengali.

From dictionary.com : a person who completely dominates another, usually with selfish or sinister motives. (Origin: 1940–45; after the evil hypnotist of the same name in the novel Trilby (1894) by George Du Maurier)

We've heard the word, but does hypnotistic seduction really work? (Usually a svengali is a male, but what's the female equivelent? Svengala?) There is a modern type of svengali-like seduction. It's based on these pheromone enhanced applied scents that make women fall for even the geekiest, 98 pound male. Has anyone ever used these things? Perhaps this really stems from those swirly glasses advertised on the back of comic books.

How about those books where men are guaranteed to capture any women they want in 10 easy lessons for only $99.99? Order today and we'll throw in mysterio glasses and fetching pheromones for free.
