softer than satin was the light.

Dorothy is to this day an icon for the modern society. 33 years later and David Lynch's character is intriguing the viewers and being contemplated by major people in fashion and beauty. This must mean something: the image of a woman is eternal, even more when the tragedy and fatality is all over her face. The blue eyeshadow and the bright red lipstick are the center of the discussion and remained through the years. But if you go beyond the beauty, you'll see that's not enough. Dorothy is much more than that, she is the character you wait a lifetime to see how intriguing she is, the enigmatic beauty she has, the art behind the music strategically chosen to this type of satin. She did not wore only blue velvet. She wore all the personalities a woman can have, all of the dark places a woman can hide, and you can't see. And she did it perfectly. See the red lipstick and the blue eyeshadow again and think twice. Or do not think at all. Just feel the blue velvet through your tears.
