Inktober day 2: Satine from Moulin Rouge.  I’ve got a bit of a thing for redheads.

New Moon Sale Commission: 1. French Perfume "The scent of Paris, a heady delight, An aroma that promises a magical night. With one spritz of pink mist the magic begins, A night out on the town with all of your friends. Two sprays will attract a companion in red, A man or woman to return home to and bed. Three sprays you'll forget the night that has passed, And wake to find the party was truly a blast. But put on no more, for the scent is quite strong. Put on too much and things will quickly go wrong. You'll find yourself out all hours of night, Soon become a stranger to the sun's gentle light. You'll find yourself dreaming of dancing and lust, Of leering eyes staring at your bouncing bust. You'll try to run away, but find your nightmares are true. You indulged too much and belong to Moulin Rouge."
