This mock epic and Delaroche's painting next enchanted women jordan heels Stephane Mallarme, another poet of some renown, a Frenchman. He got his juices flowing and wrote a poem in 1869, "Herodiade," whose English translation I was unable to find. I have absolutely no idea what his poem says. Critics say she described sultry (for the first time). I have to believe that Mallarme associated Occidental with sultry, not an uncommon association amongst fanciful European guys. Herodias is changing to heroic (maybe if Heine's epic shows her to be this), Occidental, and sultry (read sexy).

A costume designer, whose name I could not find, turned her eastern Byzantine and gave her a harem twist and a costume Jordan heels of 7 veils. A choreographer had her shimmy (belly dance). In the first performance of "Salome,' Marie Wittich, described as an ample soprano Salome, refused to do the dance or wear the costume. A nameless ballerina accommodated the scene and this became a tradition each time the opera was performed. One critic, a word wizard, called Strauss the apostle of decadence. This made the people want to see it for themselves. Strauss' "Salome" was performed 50 times in the first two years after it was written in opera houses all over the world.

All this got a French artist (of some renown) all excited. Gustave Moreau pondered the triangle and centered on Salome, instead of Herodias. He figured if Herodias was sultry, then Salome was more sultry. I don't know why, but that's what he did. He worked and worked this theme and ended up with a bunch of pictures with her as the (undressed) Nike Dunk SB Heels High for women focal point, a first in Salome's depictions, and threw in John's head to make it all understandable.
