I LOVE this. I'm unsure about what appear to be white satin platforms lurking under there, but WHATEVER. Most of this is divine.

Whereas for me, this is depressing and unflattering and weird. I had a doll when I was a child that must have been my own mother's, because it was old even when I was little, and it was basically a Barbie-type figure who was dressed up as a Spanish Senora, in black lace, with a black lace mantilla and a peineta. And of course I loved her, because this woman had obviously LIVED and probably a widow (in my mind) due to some sort of dashing and tragic and romantic series of events, but she was also probably currently in love with a toreador (I had very stereotypical views about Spain when I was seven years old, I guess) and it was all going to work out. I watched a lot of soap operas, what can I say? And this reminds me of her outfit, without the drama or the implied romance. Or the mantilla. Or any toreadors. I need AT LEAST ONE of those things to improve this.

OH DIANE. You have not gone out with a bang here.
