Tonight, she wears a clinging black blouse and matching short skirt with a 
broad golden belt around her waist. Supple black boots with towering spike heels 
climb her legs to beyond the hem of her skirt. Over that, she wears a cloak that 
falls almost to her ankles, black on the outside, gleaming gold within. Dozens 
of wire-thin bangles slither up and down her forearms; rings adorn every finger. 
A host of delicate chains and necklaces hang from her neck.
