I got up close and taunted her. She jumped out and wailed on me - slapping me in the face with all her strength. It was SO FUNNY to me, and those little cotton ball paws didn't hurt a bit. After she "destroys" me, she curls up and cuddles with me.

Gee Whiz~~ the only time I have ever seen a cat put their ears down, like that is when they mean to fight--aggression! I even looked it up!
Our cats play all the time/jump each other... never put the ears down. Even when her majesty
the queen corrects the younger ones, the ears never are down. And they all have nails. I would guess Kathy that you "lost" and are no longer alpha in your home. Humans should always remain alpha with cats! (and dogs).
We play hide and seek, peek a boo too, and they never put their ears down!
I guess it is a good thing you got her declawed. Not a nice playmate otherwise!

I don't think it is wise to have a pet of any kind in your face. They are animals after all, and can bite, or pass on some disease. I don't allow licking the face, earlobe play, hair licking, any of that. Laps are as far as I go, love wise.
I think this is pretty accurate:
