1926: “This girl has all of [the] trends and she’s not loath to wear them at once: bell earrings, a dog collar worn as a necklace, a large beauty spot on her cheek, an ivory cigarette holder, a design to cover the vaccination mark on her arm, heavy bracelets, an anklet, a photo of a boyfriend on her stocking, an anklet watch, fancy garters worn below the knee and a mirror fastened to her wrist.”
Waiting for wristwatch anklets to make a comeback

C.V. Farrow drew this beautiful map of what he called "The Wondrous Isle of Manhattan" in 1926. You MUST enlarge it. It wasn't intended to be used for navigation, but rather as a pictorial representation of the island's highlights. Below are a few details that show you what the full-size map is really like. You should enlarge them, too!

Happy birthday Josephine Baker!
Josephine was born on 3 June 1906. She’s known best for her career as a dancer, singer and actress.  In 1925, she emigrated from the USA and took Paris by storm with her comic, energetic and provocative dancing (watch it here!) - sometimes wearing nothing but a single ostrich feather on stage.
But there’s also another side to Josephine - during WWII, she was a spy for the French resistance, sneaking important information out of the country written on her sheet music in invisible ink, or pinned to her underwear. She was also a life-member of the NAACP, travelling around the USA to campaign for civil rights, and speaking at the 1963 March on Washington.
Josephine was bisexual, having four husbands (or five, depending on how you’re counting) and many female lovers. She continued to perform up until her death in 1975.
