According to Petroc Trelawny "Janine Jansen is wearing a black dress with a splendid orange underneath!" And she still played beautifully.

It was a lovely dyed silk gown: black on top, gradually shifting to around a foot-and a-half of brilliant orange toward the hem, with a contrasting orange breast panel that transitioned to black.
Off the cuff, could any of you explain that better than Trelawny did? I doubt it.

It was a splendid dress and drew favourable comment from all the gentlemen in our box
The orange hem gave a flame effect around her feet, there was a slight touch of Joan of Arc at the stake...
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

It certainly looked good, but I was struck by the thought that if you tapped her on a table top she would have divided into sections!Comment

Just an orange? No bananas or Kiwi fruit? Very poor show....Originally posted by Blaven View Post

Wouldn't the juice have sqeezed out onto her legs....a strange carry on....hope it wasn't Israeli....Though the Jaffa orange is usually picked between November and March....The Palestinians obviously were first to cultivate the orange....
The prosperity of the orange industry brought increased European interest and involvement in the development of Jaffa. In 1902, a study of the growth of the orange industry by Zionist officials outlined the different Arab owners and their primary export markets as England, Turkey, Egypt and Austria-Hungary. While Arab cultivation methods were considered "primitive," an in-depth study of the financial expenditure involved reveals that they were ultimately more cost-efficient than the Zionist-European enterprises that followed them some two decades later.
Jaffa oranges became emblems of the Israeli state. A general decline in the importance of agriculture to the Israeli economy, extreme limits on available water resources, and the reliance on migrant laborers has reduced productivity. Overshadowed by manufacturing industries, such as diamonds and precision instruments, Israel nonetheless continues to export a large number of citrus fruits to Europe.
They are practically seedless though,and thick skins....making them particularly good for use under dresses....

My understanding is that Janine Jensen wore this dress in memory of Max Jaffa, who died twenty years ago.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View PostComment

It's not as easy as you might think when you're that talented and beautiful. Everybody just wants a segment of you, and you're never sure who's serious, or who's just taking the pith. And there are unscrupulous types who'll squeeze you for every last drop.Originally posted by mercia View Post
Having said all that, If Ms. Jansen needs squeezing, I'll be first in the queue.
