About face

I stumbled across this sultry vixen while criss crossing through the dichotomy of Manhattan's Lower East Side and Chinatown neighborhoods. In a rushed state as always, I quickly snapped this picture and didn't bother to inspect the purpose of this shop. Though I can't translate these Chinese characters, I suspect this joint is a beauty salon or make-up purveyor of sorts. Our cover girl boasts pouty lips, a barely-there nose, heavy eyes (one fringed by a couple of eyelashes) and thinly arched eyebrows, all framed by a curvy bob. It's a look that evokes the late 50s then segues into the early 60s. Our stunning mademoiselle looks like she stepped out of the publishing offices of The Best of Everything and hopped into the conference rooms of Mad Men...and ultimately, into the arms of Don Draper.
