Belle Donne Italiane Chapter 1

"Beautiful women are born, not made..."

Madame Jae

Italia – the birthplace of the Renaissance, the Ferrari, Tortellini, and the films of Fellini.

Where the men are God's gift to women, and the women are goddesses demanding your worship and devotion.

Tatiana Celeste Genovese - "Tina" to her many admirers, understands this concept better than most people.

She knows what it's like to a belle donne italiane – the kind of dark beauty men went to be seen with in public, as well as to possess and pleasure in private.

You would kill for a smile from her, capice?

Of course, Tina is different from most women – in that she has only being acting feminine and pretty for a short time.

Tommaso Carmelo "Tommy" Genovese is – or was – a handsome man, a dutiful son, a proud father, and a brave and heroic member of the City Police, serving in the Vice Squad as a Lieutenant.

Years of undercover work introduced Tommy to Madame Jae's Salon – who in turn introduced him to his other self – Tina.

Tina took advantage of the supposed "Genovese curse"; the men in her family were always short and thin.

As macho Italian guys, this was often a taunt heard at the bocce courts and in the streets.

But Tina looked a lot more authentic as a sexy call girl or barmaid that the average cop working on stings.

And Tina seemed to have an on/off switch that let the tough guy cop transform into a sexy, sassy and fun chick.

But being Tina was more than a job for Tommy – it was an escape into a world.

Soon Tommy started frequenting the salon in his off hours, and Tina bonded with a new world of "girlfriends" who went shopping with the developing diva, building a wardrobe that would put his bitch ex-wife to shame.

Tina also learned the art, the craft, the delight and the power a sexy woman has on men.

Before long, Tina had smiled at countless guidos, accepted a thousand cocktails, dancing with many a grabby drunk, and allowed a select number of studly men to take her to bed.
