And here’s what he says Miss 1926 will be like:
She will weigh between 115 and 120 pounds.
She will be about five feet four inches tall.
She will affect the face of a corpse.
It will be painted a ghastly white with carmine smears across the lips.
her hair will be predominately hennaed or blond. Few brunets will be seen.
She will balance with dexterity a cigarette holder no less than 10 inches long between her teeth.
She will use kiss-proof rouge at evening.
