I guess if youve ever read my blog you know I have an unwavering love for all things Billie Holiday. That love goes back to the age of about twelve and though I dont listen to her as much she still has her own playlist on my Ipod.
So imagine my surprise when my phone rings at about 1am a time when 6 days out of 7 I am sound asleep and my real annoyance when I heard my ex on the phone excitedly proclaiming " Get on your computer theirs something you have to see! I found it just for you!" I figured if someone calls at 1am knowing how nicely I string curse words together then it must be important and indeed it was!
Pictures of Billie I had never seen. So I share with you.....
I cant help think what the prim and proper Ms. Hazel Scott thought of Billie Holiday as a woman first and foremost. Being she became the wife of a pastor and all. However,I remember in Billies Memoirs she tells a story of the young Hazel Scott auditioning for a job at Barney Josephens cafe society and Billie was really or rather her ghost writer was rather crass in their description of her.
Its always nice to see people finally not hoarding photos of Lady and for that I guess we can build an idol of Bill Gates and praise him twice a damn day....enjoy
Someone with a foot fetish must have taken this but those are a sharp pair of shoes!
I love this one you know damn well Billie didn't ski but you love this pic all the same!
