Costello Tagliapietra Spring 2006 RTW. (style.com)
No matter what life you lead
the virgin is a lovely number:
cheeks as fragile as cigarette paper,
arms and legs made of Limoges,
lips like Vin Du Rhône,
rolling her china-blue doll eyes
open and shut.
Open to say,
Good Day Mama,
and shut for the thrustof the unicorn.
She is unsoiled.
She is as white as a bonefish.
(Anne Sexton)
