dedicated to Bess Houdini, "Rosabelle Believe" she believing
And feel your tongue teasing and receiving. With your spit still on my lip.
For the collage of "dedicated to Bess Houdini, "Rosabelle Believe" she believing", the original photography you can find, here, there and everywhere.
Bess Houdini was the stage assistant and wife of Harry Houdini, one of the most famous stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts.

There are many biographical movies of Harry Houdini. In some of them, Bess Houdini appeared, too.
In 1938, on the movie "Religious Racketeers a.k.a. Mystic Circle Murder" directed by Frank O’Conner, Bess Houdini acted as herself [the movie poster and the still photo].
In 1953, on the movie "Houdini" directed by George Marshall, Janet Leigh acted as Bess Houdini, and Tony Curtis acted as her husband [the movie poster and the still photo].
In 1976, on the TV movie "The Great Houdinis" directed as Melville Shavelson, Sally Struthers acted as Bess Houdini, and Paul Michael Glaser acted as her husband [the movie poster and the still photo].
In 1988, on the TV movie "Houdini" directed by Pen Densham, Stacy Edwards acted as Bess Houdini, and Johnathon Schaech acted as her husband [the movie poster and the still photo : the girl holding a guy is Bess Houdini acted by Stacy Edwards].
The words "And feel your tongue teasing and receiving. With your spit still on my lip." is taken from the lyrics of "Houdini" from the album "The Dreaming
" by Kate Bush.
The art work of the album was depending on this song.
This song was inspired from the life of Bess and Harry Houdini, especially their keywords "Rosabelle Believe".
The keywords "Rosabelle Believe" was only known by Bess and Harry Houdini.
He promised to her that he would come back next world (heaven or hell or something else) if Harry Houdini died before Bess's death (and actually he died 1926). And, he would tell to her the keywords to proof of his success to escape there.
So, after his death, many people appeared to her, and told they met him. But nobody could tell the keywords.
It is said the promise was in order that he debunked parapsychology and mediumship.
