Odette before the show

Odette, a fat, plus-size Black woman in her 50s, full-figured with a large soft body, round face and double chin, who is a cabaret singer: deep brown skin, a sculpted silver finger-wave bob, bold red lipstick, statement emerald earrings, wearing a floor-length emerald green satin gown with an enormous flowing train. Sitting at a backstage mirror ringed with bulbs, her emerald gown spilling across the floor, putting on her red lipstick, then meeting her own eyes.
