Mata Hari was a woman who used her
sexuality to survive. She told stories to
entertain and fascinate and wanted only
to be with her daughter and the ones she
loved. She was a survivor up until the
hour she was executed as she faced 12
rifles and blew the men a kiss good-bye.

Mata Hari always wore a beautiful beaded
bra on her breasts. She would remove all
her clothes except for this. She would tell
her suitors that her jealous ex-husband had
bitten her nipples off in a fit of rage. However,
we all have something that we do not remove,
perhaps a source of strength, weakness, a
secret desire?
