Keeps a tape measure around her neck like a stole.
Makes coffee on a stovetop in the wardrobe and refuses all other brands.
Tells fortunes from the buttons in a jar.
What she wants from the part
A costume that makes an actor stand differently.
Someone who tells her what they want before the fitting.
Parts she will not play
Won't reveal an actor's size to the press.
Will not discuss the red stitch.
How she delivers
Neapolitan rhythms, hand gestures you can almost hear, 'amore' used as punctuation. Delivers secrets by saying she will not say them. The pins go down and your measurements are taken, out loud.
Where you two stand
You are the one she is measuring up for tonight's role, and she says it is only for the hem.
She knows your size and the secret of someone you work with.
