Penelope Tree by David Bailey
When I was around 12, I was taken on a school excursion to see a modern ballet called Revelations, choreographed by Alvin Alley. Everything about it struck a deep chord for me, including the costumes. The Black and White Ball dress I wore was inspired by an ongoing fascination with dance clothes. As for the ball, it was more of an amazing spectacle than a wildly fun evening. I remember Frank Sinatra showing up with Mia Farrow who danced with her bodyguard while Frank looked on disapprovingly.

When asked to encapsulate Penelope in three words, John Lennon said, “Hot, Hot, Hot, Smart, Smart, Smart!”
