Before I begin my story tonight,
I'd just like to say that that told stories that are based on sort of facts about my life,
but the story tonight, other elements of myself naturally have crept into it.
It's a fiction piece.
Therefore all the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
[ *laughs from audience* ]
Yes.
A lipstick.
A special lipstick.
I found it the other day when I was sorting through the boxes in the attic.
It belonged to Frida.
It was the only shade of lipstick that Frida ever wore.
It was her colour.
And she alone __the world allowed to wear it.
It was discovered by her friend Steve,
who worked at the Chanel counter of The Bay in Vancouver.
He showed it to Frida one day in the fall of 1979.
And as soon as she tried it on
it was hers.
It's name was Lavender Matinee.
Yes! Memories of Frida and Lavender Matinee.
Frida wore the lipstick wherever she went,
