Her name is Belle Jeaune, least that’s what she calls herself now.
Nude model, age something near 70. This isn’t a job of desperation, buttressing her SSI. This has been her whole life.
Working the LA photo scene, she posed for Friedlander and Heinecken on down. They called her the Ice Maiden.
The stage is right and the lights, but she is not there for me.
Behind the camera, I shed my clothes and look again. Her body glows with radiant life and embracing eyes.
“Yes, darling, now you see. Those boys, they didn’t know how to turn the key.”
