Chappy Hour: Kiki de Montparnasse + Kiki

Alice Prin, better known as Kiki de Montparnasse, was a bonne vivant of the 1920s Paris scene. A fascinating woman who was both an artist and a muse to many throughout her lifetime, Kiki is still inspiring artists today. In her first full-length poetry collection, poet, and pornographer Amanda Earl looks to the Queen of Montparnasse, and delivers a rollicking read with exotic flare in the collection, Kiki. A cocktail with those same qualities is the perfect pairing.
