Azure Elegance Madra Doll

• Azure Elegance is a regal evening gown, circa 1951.
• Madra is smooth and sultry in royal blue gown with a long, attached train. Rhinestones sparkle like stars against the gown's deep blue background.
• Sparkling stone earrings stand out like comets-and Madra's silver purse is patterned with a sparkling stone design.
• Her shoes are covered in the same lush fabric as her gown.
• The costume for Azure Elegance was created by Hollywood costumer Lynne Day.

"You're the one who has to do it, darling..."

Benny Majors was sitting with Madra Lord by her pool, watching her as intently as Madra was watching the poolboy.

"I know," said Madra. "He'll never have the guts to ask me out, so I'll just have to ask HIM..."

At the name "Lilienthal," Madra's head snapped back to the conversation. "R.L. did? Well, for him, I suppose I can swallow my pride and let bygones go bye-bye for one night. Has it really been ten years since dear Gene stole my thunder at the opening of 'Deep Devotion'?"

"No, no-I mean to host the tenth anniversary Gene Marshall tribute. Reuben Lilienthal has PERSONALLY requested you for the job."

"Yes-and you don't look a day older, my pet," smiled Benny, all the while thinking, "Days, no; years, maybe..."

"Ten years-a lot of water under the dam and over the bridge. Well, Gene and I have had some fun together. Would I get to sing or dance or anything?"

Benny gulped quietly. "Madra, you wouldn't want to overshadow Gene-after all, it is her night. Save that for your 25th anniversary tribute-that's coming up soon, isn't it?"

"Bite your tongue, Benny. An actress is as old as she feels and that depends on who she's 'appearing' with. Hmmm-I know the perfect gown. I've been saving it for a special occasion. It's an elegant blue and fit for royalty. Maybe I can model it for that Prince Charming poolboy and ask HIM what he thinks of the color..."
