Brea from Muse NYC in 'Black Violette'
Blood red lips and flowers tinged with black are symbols of sex, but like a black widow, they have the aftertaste of danger. That which has the power to allure also has the power to harm, particularly with women who exude these 'Black Violette' charms. In Violette Noziere, the 1978 French film directed by Claude Chabrol a fourteen-year-old girl named Violette has encounters with a number of older men. Isabelle Huppert and Stephane Audran portray characters based on a true French murder case in 1934. While the subject at hand is as dark and dirty as it gets, the characters' ability to entice is infallible; no viewer has immunity. While we've broadened our version of this dangerous beauty to modern day (and to include women who haven't been involved in heinous crimes), black violette is inspired by the idea of femininity underscored by blackness, a beauty to which we find ourselves particularly vulnerable.
