Her father had always told her: They’re going to watch you sing but they’re going to watch you. What he meant was that what she wore would to hit them before, during and after what they heard. “So,” he said, “put on that striped shirt. Put on that sailor’s hat. Put on the glasses rimmed in light. Put on the pants that have asymmetrical cut-outs, different shapes on each leg, one close enough to the inside of the thigh to run a little risk, the other in the shape of an arrow. Tie a ribbon in your hair and tie a balloon to that ribbon.” Her father was a lawyer. How did he know all of this?
