Like « Wonderwoman », I spin, spin around and I change in? O vertigo: Lauren Bacall, perfect lock, sublim glance for a naughty and very glam shopping in West Hollywood. I drive my golden cabriolet, a vintage convertible. On the back seat my gorgeous aristocratic Labrador : Jeeves, yes like the great maitre d’hotel of Woodhouse’s books. For the brit flav. A black smart Gucci dress, very 40’s with a big low cut, I slowly walk in the Coco de Mer alley, the hypiest shop of Hollywood celebs. Even Angelica with a huge bright smile and many many huge bags, lets paparazzi taking her pictures living the chic fetish shop. The retro poster is explicit. A kind of fair, origami of naked women…

I wonder about the Emmanuelle chair. The original one? On wall : a gun like in The Big Sleep. While I play the script in my mind, Philip Marlowe etc, I look at the phallus trees and the glazed ceramic coco-fesse and the big chastity belt in the window. The set is settle down, erotic case. Sweeping movement, I shake my perfect brushed hair and give a last look at the very demanding James Joyce poetry and this perfect hand in the box holding secret letters. 

Finally I get in the shop, leaving you back, darling… in cigarette smoke! Maybe I’ve already started a strip tease in the changing room. There is in all of us a Dita Von Teese diva! 

Movie and books highly recommended : « The Big Sleep », director Howard Hawks, 1946, with Lauren Bacall et Humphrey Bogart… The Glamour!  « The Big Sleep », writer Raymond Chandler…  Ab Fab! And « Jeeves », writer P.G. Woodhouse… Incredible ! And Guess what, something really crazy happens, while I post this note: the BBC 2 plays The Big Sleeper!  Big up to Mr Raymond Chandler, Howard Hawk, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart!  Guys thank you so much for your amazing talent!
