I chisel myself into

A bona fide Magnus opus

For this evening.

A Venus de Milo

But with gym molded arms.

I mix emerald jade tones

On an artist's palette,

Before applying my eyeliner

On the canvas.

It brings out

The amber and gold specks

In my hazel eyes,

When held in the prism

Of a certain light.

I draw on my eyebrows

With a diamond sharpened pencil.

I gloss

( I love to taste the word in my mouth)

A ruby red slick across my lips.

My short dress spandex tightens,

Over a playboy's fortune French knickers.

I place long smooth gazelle legs

Into black love-me-all-night knee-high boots.

I can feel the male gaze upon me on entering,

With the intensity of multiple spotlights

On a failed jailbreak.

The boy's Tommy guns ready to burst.

Damn it!

I forgot to trim my beard.
