Art Deco Powder Room
Powdering my nose, I gently closed my Art Deco compact
I am sitting in a powder room filled with dazzling flapper dresses
Rhinestone bracelets and pearls dance in the mirror
I arrange my fringed shawl, which is designed with lovely gypsy motifs
I apply my mascarra
Make-up in dramatic Art Deco transformation
Trains in the night, transportation moaning with beauty.
A starlit ballet in exotic beaded dresses
A moonlit ballet in ostrich plumed capes
Scarves of Hot Fives, feathered hats of Hot Sevens
We women discuss dresses and perfumes, dresses and perfumes
"You are wearing such a lovely dress"
I apply my lip rouge and adjust my slip
Trains in the night, transportation moaning with beauty.
