Madame d’Ora (Dora Kallmus), Entertainer Josephine Baker, 1928.

Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. "I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. And when I get mad, you know that I open my big mouth. And then look out, 'cause when Josephine opens her mouth, they hear it all over the world ..." – Josephine Baker

Of Billy Reed and His Little Club

A few words on Billy “Zoot” Reed (1913-1974) and Billy Reed’s Little Club (1947-1965). I first learned about this long gone Manhattan institution in writing about the magician Harry Lorayne, and about the gent himself from this ad for a burlesque act with Jean Carroll. Lorayne was far from the only famous entertainer who played the Little Club or gave the joint his custom, but as you see, it…

“You took a great risk, coming here.”

“Well, what’s life without a little risk, my brilliant Frenchman? ...Forgive me -- your Highness.”

“No. ...Forgive me, but...I never want to hear that phrase out of your mouth again, Mr. Knightly.”

“...Then I shall simply have to come up with others, my prince.”

In England at the start of the 20th century, a soft-spoken, intellectual prince with a love of academics and learning and a flashy, charming vaudeville entertainer with a tragic past carry on a secret whirlwind romance that comes to a head at a fateful royal ball, where the prince is expected to announce his engagement to a foreign princess and the young actor plays his part so well that no one would suspect his humble origins.

#gaaaaaah this idea wouldn't leave me alone I just had to do something with it #but yeah vaudeville theaters would've been considered rather low-brow compared to more upscale theaters #so this fits for a cinderella-esque story #not to mention we have our two wonderful perfect gay men in a time period when homosexuality was er...yeah a bit frowned upon #I see jacko boy having made a name for himself as a stage magician when he was still under his father's thumb #and then becoming more of a traditional vaudeville entertainer -- magician actor singer dancer -- after running away and growing up #I also see these two having met while monty was visiting the local university #dressing super casual bc plz don't bow and act all weird with me I just wanna read lots of books >//< #so jacko boy originally has NO idea who he's even talking to even though he can kind of suss out he's upper crust pretty easily #and because jackson also is kind of putting on his best face monty at first thinks he's part of -- like -- the royal theater company #partially because of how well-spoken and gentlemanly he acts hahahaha #not that either of them are disappointed when they figure out the truth #aside from the slight 'oh...wow yeah we're from two different worlds' thing #if I wanted to lean into the time period part of this AU I could always reference wwi as a plot point #but not too much -- no tragic ending for these boys no way :I #anyway these two own my heart and I need to do more with them I love them so ;~; #jackson knightly #montelimar bloom #au #moodboard #...I can't even label this as cinderella au because I already did one for carewyn LMAO #would you even believe that cinderella isn't my favorite fairy tale?!? #it just fits these two so well though

Enid Whittlesey led an absolutely fascinating life.  It's a shame people only remember her because of her murder and 16 year cold case that was eventually solved and featured on an episode of "Forensic Files". In 1921 her famous architect father forced her lover at gunpoint to marry Enid. This resulted in a 2 day marriage and a love triangle (he had committed bigamy) that captured the attention of the San Francisco Bay Area. She was also a member of the famous vaudeville act "The Marion Morgan Dancers". Get a glimpse into Enid's life and her intriguing story on AncientFaces.

"Pinkie" and Thea (Twilight)!

Rosita Piedra (nicknamed Pinkie), Ponyville's favorite dancer, musician, festival-planner, baker-in-training, and vaudeville & burlesque performer! Her hyperactive energy's matched only by her love for the community.

Thea Sullivan, Ponyville's newest resident librarian and witch-in-training! She's as smart as a whip, with a tendency to fly off the handle at moments of high stress. Now if only she could get her nose out of a book long enough to make some friends...

behold, the hazbin oc i forgot to post here after debuting her on twitter! Vixen Dupont is a vaudeville performer of the roaring 20's who, after dying in a tragic electrical fire in the studio she worked out of with her fellow dancers, learned that she and the girls had been condemned to hell on hot wheels for what none of them could justifiably conceive the cause. Eventually, she took the initiative to seek out a means of making an after-living for herself and her friends, dabbling in the rising popularity of the Pride Ring's exclusively sinner based entertainment scene. Through a number of unfortunate events and charity courtesy of a friendship with Hell's newest creepy crawly, The Radio Demon, Vixen shook herself free of her exploitative career and went on to build her own business in another Overlord's territory. The Silk Paw, a club for the weary soul longing for times gone by and a touch of softness after the inferno, is her current pride and joy. Her relations with Alastor remain purely speculation to the public at large, and for a decade or so managed to die down. His return to the spotlight now turns the rumor mill once more, and the hotel he sees fit to busy himself with becomes an interest of his old friend's to the point that Vixen decides it would be profitable for all parties if she became a sponsor of Princess Charlie's endeavors.

Margaret Severn: Danced in Masks

Margaret Severn: Danced in Masks

I had some difficulty finding a photo of modern dancer Margaret Severn (1901-1997) that I could actually use, for the perfectly comprehensible reason that she was the kind of performer who inspired photographers…which means that most of the pix (and there are TONS of them to be seen) are art photography, and thus likely subject to copyright. After consuming this post I urge you to do a little…
