The Allure of the Pearl

Pearls. I like to call myself The Perfumed Pearl.  Most people think of pearls as demure and conservative...but that's not the way I think of pearls.  I think of Cleopatra and her seduction of Marc Antony when she swallowed a pearl.  I think of ropes of pearls. I think of one single pearl and its opulence.
