Exotic Dreams

On Charo, Kris Kristofferson and Faraway Places

My exotic fascinations run deep, all the way back to Toltoy’s Jenny the Jet Setting Qantas Air Hostess, who sported a tropical floral patterned uniform designed by Emilio Pucci, still in my opinion, the ultimate day dress. I’d like a wardrobe with seven of them and little else. Jenny looked slightly deranged or maybe like she’d just had a couple of cocktails, and she had a terrible shag haircut and bad shoes but she also came equipped with a hula skirt and bikini and took off all around the world to exotic locations like Japan! Vienna! and sowed tiny tropical seeds within my heart and a love for the idea of far flung locations and travel.
