Hotel bars

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…
