“Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got.”
Sophia Loren

“Most girls don’t know what to do with what they’ve got.”
Jayne Mansfield

identical black pumps on two pairs of stockinged feet, two chanel bags thrown over two white shoulders (are they real? we'll never tell). a scramble to find: a pocket mirror, the right shade of lipstick. i borrow hers or vice versa, lips stained red and hot pink, to match our dress, respectively (what would barbie do?). On each white thigh, a matching tattoo - interlocking c's, at the stocking line. But there is also this: reading Henry Miller, watching twin peaks, drinking whiskey in the park at midnight. Using a mutual gift with words to construct the perfect erotic email. Free drinks, free entrance, because there's not much two blondes can't do.

We figure, these skills must be marketable. A vaudeville act, a siamese-twin dress with sequins, a burlesque number, a dominatrix den. With our days we peddle clothing, slips of silk and chiffon, shopgirls dreaming of silk boudoirs and the Playboy Club. Sleeping in pincurls and waking up with smeared mascara.

for a few days, we stayed in the executive suite of a local hotel, microwave food and ice cream and instant coffee, feeling like royalty or a wes anderson movie.
