The Sisters

 

Solange

31 Years Old

Paris. Caretaker. Maid.

I am good at what I do and do not receive the recognition for it. My sister relies on me to show her the way and for it our Madame does not even remember my name as she fawns and dotes over little C. There is no greater injustice than that between a tactless, spoilt Madame and her tirelessly devoted servants. How I wish for a good night’s sleep.

Madame’s tea is cold. But she won’t mind for long. ☕️
It’s God who’s listening to us. We know that it’s for Him that the last act is to be performed. But we mustn’t forewarn Him. We play to the hilt. 🙏🏻😉
We’ll carry her off to the woods, and under the fir trees we’ll cut her to bits by the light of the moon. And we’ll sing. We’ll bury her beneath the flowers and at night- we’ll water her toes with a little hose! Ha! ☠️🌘
Won’t be needing this uniform much longer 😉 I’ll inherit 🤑
Mother of God 🙏🏻

Claire

26 Years Old

Born and raised in Paris but in my dreams I sleep under a sun kissed palm tree on Devil’s Island. I’ve never actually been to a glamorous party but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to have a good time. Dresses and perfumes and nail polish and powder are my passion. I serve a wonderfully kind and generous mistress and look damn fine in her dresses too!

Madame’s tea is ready 😉
I’m sick of seeing my image thrown back at me by a mirror, like a bad smell. Tonight, I’ll have my crown and I shall stroll about the apartment 👸👑
The red dress? No, I desire the white one with spangles! 💃🏻
Oh! I’m so alone and friendless! 🌘
The white spangled dress. The fan. The emeralds. And, of course my patent leather slippers! 💋
Hard at work 😉☠️❤️❤️

‘Her kindness, is it? It’s easy to be kind, and smiling, and sweet- ah! that sweetness of hers!- when you’re beautiful and rich. But what if you’re only a maid? The best you can do is to give yourself airs while you’re doing the cleaning or washing up. You twirl a feather duster like a fan. You make fancy gestures with the dishcloth. Or like you you treat yourself to historical parades in Madame’s apartment."‘
