India calls: how to dream berfore arriving; reverie of color, expansiveness. Let's pretend we are walking amongst a cacaphony of calls, smoke from afternoon chai stalls, searing sun.
Leslie appears under an umbrella embroidered red in her Indian beaded cap, chin slung silk scarf, beaded blouse from a former 20s vamp, a surprise of 60s chain and jewel neclace wrapped waist, petite dangling Whiting & Davis. The stretch is the skirt - deep blue silk underplayed with wide paniers - part of an 80s J Peterman Victorian revival whose beaded jacket just seemed too much for this musing. Hmmm...still wondering.
