From the Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical "Evita" a snippet of lyrics from "Rainbow High" as Evita Peron prepares for another smash hit success appearance before "her people" the descamisados, the shirtless masses that a certain current day Evita refers to as "Joe Six-Pack"
[Eva's dressers:]
Eyes, hair, mouth, figure

Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image
[Eva:]
