Miss Laura
American heiress, culinery artist and femme fatale.
Miss Laura grew up in the lap of midwestern luxury. Her father being a shipping and railroad magnate from Milwaukie has amassed a huge fortune which makes her a fixture in haute society.
Her father sent her abroad to England in her younger years for her European Tour upon which Miss Laura was the toast of London society. Her escapades are well known. While at the Carnival in Venice she introduced the "margarita" to frolicking party goers making her the delight of the evening festivities . Spending a holiday at The Grand Hotel in Monaco, she was enchanted by a chance meeting with Georges Auguste Escoffier where upon he amused her by commenting on her "Poires Belle Hélène".
It is well known that Miss Laura is a collector of rare jewels. She was once offered the Hope diamond but alas turned it down for fear of the legendary curse. When asked about diamonds, Miss Laura was overheard to say that she didn't want certain cuts because they had poor resale value.
