The Fashion Queen
The Fashion Queen
Alannah Hill sits on a tasselled scarlet ‘poshy’ damask, reapplying her powder with a fat brush. Big hair, blossom-toed slippers, ringleted lap dogs.
Alannah Hill sits on her marble-blush bench and talks on her pink phone. Louis XV hands her a martini and offers to do the dishes in the gilt-encrusted sink.
Alannah Hill sits in her sherbet-bomb balcony chair, wafting Chanel no.5. The diamanteés on her wrists twinkle, her tea is touched up with cherry liqueur. As the palm fronds swing so cool and sway so gentle, she tells us that she's written a novel, loves watching Neighbours and never, ever wears jeans.
