Petra Conquers the Polo Lounge.

Petra texts Max, who's nursing a gin martini in the Polo Lounge at the famous Beverly Hills Hotel, to tell him she'll be 15 minutes late.

(She's good at things like this; she's had a lot of practice.)

Max smiles.

So what else is new?

Petra arrives, making as usual, the wait worthwhile for everyone in the place, even though the others weren't technically waiting.

Because she, with an uncanny sense of place, manages to transform herself into a 1930s sweater girl in 2011.

The lights have just dimmed for wannabe starlets who are working the room.

Petra's Hook Button Sweater (No. 3326), in 100% cotton yarn in a silky finish. Grosgrain trim around inside neckline and hidden facing behind hooks. Six working hook closures. Especially in Petra's expert hands, can go from demure to dangerous at a moment's notice.

"You seem to be perspiring Max. Is it that hot in here?"

Women's sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL.

Colors: Black, Cinnamon.
