Hotel.. Raphael.. Was our.. rendez-vous... "Pour.. ce soir la"... I opted for my very black clinging dress, a discreetly plunging neckline.. showing off blonde skin.. topped with a waist-hugging fur-collared black jacket... A provocative black hat with a sheer veil.. completed the dramatic look. While applying the finishing touches on my "maquillage".. (charcoal slate eye make-up, contrasting with pale ivory skin).. I was reminded of Marlene Dietrich in her Joseph von Sternberg 1932 movie, "Shanghai Express"... Which.. I adore...
