Jacques Heim had other ideas, mostly leggy: there were textured stockings, pleated culottes, ruffled pajamas, and panties peeking out from under a chiffon dress to add "a discreet note of eroticism." But the biggest gasps in town greeted a Heim stretch suit patterned like a cobra skin and protected (he says) from charges of indecent exposure by a U.S.-made body stocking underneath. Lanvin stuck to skirts, most of which, in turn, were stuck to panels (of the skinny, streamer variety), while Griffe played the game from both sides of the net, turned some skirts into pants, left others...
...with another (toreador on the bottom, pantaloons on top), while Ava-golf finished off a long knit dinner dress with two balloons (slit to accommodate feet), left it to Pucci to put fans at the tail ends of a linen evening suit. There was Fabiani's transparent black chiffon dress, dubbed (by Fabiani) "the sexiest in Italy," Micia's shift made out of black poker chips, Trico's black knit, orange-bordered at-home outfit (complete with a ring to be worn on the hostess' toe).

In no time at all, the lady appears in black chiffon to ask: "How d'ya like my widow's weeds?" As the girl eventually transformed into Rina Marlowe, a doomed Hollywood sex goddess, Actress Baker seems uncertain about which actress living or dead she is not supposed to resemble. Although her widely publicized nude scene has been disnuded...
...Strolling Strings struck up a waltz. With that he was off, twirling every lady within arm's reach. For his part, being a King, Hussein could not ask a woman to dance; she had to ask him. The first was Lady Bird Johnson, radiant in lemon chiffon. One of the last was Trude Feldman, diminutive (4 ft. 10½ in.) correspondent for the Los Angeles Reporter, a Jewish weekly. It was an agreeable match in height at least, and Hussein, only 5 ft. 6 in. tall himself, seemed to find her a pleasant partner...
