Wow, way to ever analyze the character. She was dressed up so that she felt good about herself. I know when I go out, I always try to look my best. Not to impress anyone, or to be a tease, just simply to feel good about myself. When I know I look good, I'm more confident. And so what if I missed an e here or there? It was late when I typed it and there are such things as typos.
The woman wasn't baiting anybody, the point of the story is that a strong, drop dead gorgeous woman can go to a jazz club simply because she enjoys the music. The woman is supposed to be mysterious. That's what makes her so intruiging. Maybe she hates men. Maybe she's been hurt by them in the past. Maybe she's just a "tease" as you say (is there anything wrong with that?). The only thing I will tell you about her is that of course a Coast Guard guy wouldn't have done better.
I love this character. I'm contemplating expanding the story.

You put at the top of your first message: "so I would appreciate it if you read it and gave me feed back ( ... )

Black is a true bohemian color, especially for jazz.

Perhaps she's looking for a man who respects women enough to recognize that she could be more interested in jazz than in pick-up lines.

I like the story. It reminds me of a James Bond movie, just in the aura of sophistication the character exudes.

Re-watch those James Bond movies.
Look for the non-stop cheap pick up lines!!!
And the woman's names???
And then they end up in bed with him.

I didn't say they were exactly the same. I was merely saying that there is with both characters a feeling of, I guess sophistication really is the best word. That doesn't mean they act similarly, or that the plots resemble each other. It's merely a similar, intangible characteristic.

And just for future refernce: read what I actually wrote, not what you feel like seeing. Grazie.

Unless you're talking about tomato sauce, you just hit the limit of my Italian vocabulary.

maybe i'm interpreting this incorrectly, but it didn't seem like the previous comment from anonymous about James Bond was saying that you were saying they were exactly the same, it seemed more like a comment about James Bond movies in general than about Blair's story.

Thank you for the feed back. You're right, I did ask for feedback. And to prove once again that I can't spell, I mispelled over as ever.
As for the black, personally, I think it't my best color.
