Stanislavski Post 1

Fräulein Kost is a roomer at Fräulein Schneider's house who earns her living by offering favours to sailors. She is very flirtatious and confident though quite clearly embarrassed by what she does. Kost and Schneider don't always see eye to eye, Schneider doesn't want Kost bringing back countless amounts of men which leads her to sneaking around but the only way of paying her rent is by doing these favors which is why she is allowed to stay.

From reading the script I imagine Fräulein Kost to be a pretty lady who wears a lot of makeup and has her hair in a messy kind of way with pieces falling down. She has a lot of men in and out of her room all the time so she probably doesn't have much time in between to sort herself out! I imagine her in lingerie most of the time with a long robe to cover herself between seeing her guests. 

A lot of images I found when researching this character were older than I imagine her to look and not as made up. Though I think she is a little messy looking I do think she has a sense of glamor to her particularly in her makeup.
