“Champagne, 1920s. Atelier Manasse was a legendary Austrian photo studio that captured the golden age of cinema and cabaret in Vienna of the 1920’s and 1930’s. The studio, active in Vienna between 1922 and 1938.
A wonderful picture from the roaring 20’s. I wonder what photos they will have for the 2020’s?”
One platinum curl
unfurls, brushes
the rim of her
champagne cocktail,
as she tips her head
forward. Filled to
the brim of a white
etched cocktail glass,
golden liquid will
spill if she is not
careful. The only
telltale sign will be
her Rubies For You,
matte lipstick staining
the glass red.
The lipstick always gives it away. Lovely write Sara!
