THE  BLACK  TULIPS

Watched Buffalo 66 yet again. Two fabulous faces showing True Romance as it should be. Those red boots. I like red shoes. I like The Red Shoes. Saw it first on Saturday matinee when I was four, just back from ballet in my fresh blood tie-ons, and it has haunted me since. Sometimes only a bridge can stop the dancing. Thursday’s gig made me more me than any other Thursday. I loved it and am striking off the hours until the Pleasure Unit where I shall wear a new old frock. Other bodies have filled it before and I rather like that. It is long and ends in a flourish as all apparel and dictators should.
