"she'll tease you, she'll unease you, all the better just to please you..."

The first album I ever bought on vinyl was Kim Carnes "Mistaken Identity" at the biggest marche aux puces (flee market) in Paris for 2 Euro just because it had Bette Davis Eyes on it. So when "Valentino: The Last Emperor" opened with a fashion show and that as the background msuic, I was transported to another level of artistic ecstasy. The documentary was stellar and a fantastic choice for the Opening Night Film of the Miami International Film Festival. I got to meet one of my idols (more on that later,) it was a fantastic night all around meeting new people and catching up with old friends, and this song was stuck in my head the whole time.
