Temptation:
- Description: a slow burn that explores the pleasures of fine clothing. This act was inspired by the following quote from Miss Fischer’s Murder Mysteries; “A woman should dress first and foremost for her own pleasure. There is nothing quite so divine as the feel of silk underwear, the touch of soft fox, the slither of a satin skirt. If these things happen to appeal to men, well… really that’s a side issue." Phryne Fisher

- Duration: 4:30
- Costume: a long gown in peacock blue silk satin and three vintage mink stoles; one in Autumn Haze, one in chocolate and the last in silver. All three stoles are from the 1950s-1960s and have the names of the women they were made for embroidered on the lining; they are truly beautiful heirlooms.
- Side Note: While this is a VERY suggestive act, I keep my dress on the entire time so there is no full nudity.
