The poster is from the movie, but the words are from the book: “Her skin was a smooth painted tan without a blemish, like the soft velvety leather of an expensive handbag. She wore silk Paisley slacks and a blue silk jersey blouse of Billie’s, and one of the red-haired wigs Billie used in her act. Her hips were pitching like a rowboat on a stormy sea, but her cold, aloof face said: Your eyes may shine and your teeth may grit, but none of this fine ass will you git.” — Chester Himes, Cotton Comes to Harlem Raymond Chandler and Chester Himes are the two authors that could really paint a picture with words!
