SHE IS

She is one of societies elite, doused in jewels, looking her most glamorous in a chic ivory Thai silk pant suit set, surrounded by the who’s who of Hollywood. As the sun sets, the balmy night’s air is filled with the sound of live cool jazz.

She has changed, embracing her femininity, she has slipped into a linen mini the shade of the afternoon sun which hugs her shapely figure in all the right places.

The nights alive, the women, cigarette in hand, sway in a trance to the beat of the summer time haze. 

They are attractive people, in attractive place’s doing attractive things and she is the muse of many, our golden girl, Calie.
