Sapphire Blue makes the household staircase her personal runway in Things Are Looking Up, arriving in a black sheer robe, suspender belt, lace-top stockings and heels that were clearly never intended for walking anywhere practical. The camera looks up at her from below, the angle giving the whole set its name and giving Sapphire every advantage, which she uses with the easy confidence of a woman who is used to commanding a room, or in this case, a staircase.
The sheer robe comes off first, then everything above the stockings, until Sapphire is kneeling on the warm carpet in nothing but her black lace-top stockings and heels, looking back over her shoulder with an expression of pure, unrestrained fun. It is a final image that lives up to its title entirely: everything is looking up, and everything is very, very good from this angle.
