Alexis responds:
"Quite the contrary. You will not find a reputable boutique on the Lower Mississippi that does not offer my shade of lavender eye-paint."

"H-hello, M-Miss Alexis! I really like your c-corset! F-for my question, u-uhm, h-how long d-does it take you to p-put on your makeup in the morning? D-do you wear anything besides the lipstick and eye m-makeup? (A-and do they make f-foundation just f-for crocodiles?"

"Thank you, dear. Do try to speak confidently - you must have driven the poor telegrapher batty taking dictation.

A Lady's morning toilet cannot be rushed, and many are surprised to find that alligators (and crocodiles as well, I suppose, though I am largely the former) have quite sensitive skin. Facial care is a religious matter for me. At least an hour then, every morning, is devoted to preparation of my appearance, and it is time well-spent. As a delicious young playwright once said, "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."

Due to the peculiarities of reptile skin, I do not use foundation, but I do make use of a porous polish. The exact contents of a toiletry kit are a lady's well-guarded secret, though many of the boutiques which sell my unmentionables also keep stock of my cosmetics kits. I have enclosed a list of many of the finest shops for your reference.
