Slowww Process...

So my POT #1 will be in town soon. We are going dress shopping before dinner. He'll be here for a few weeks before going back. I'm going to ask him to pay for my next semester of school or possibly some summer classes while he's here. 

POT #2 who took me to the comedy show last weekend has been calling and texting me all week. Since our first meeting was almost void of conversation  (aside from the 20 or so minutes before the show) I'm waiting for him to set up brunch or lunch. It will probably be sometime this weekend and we can talk about my allowance. I wan't to ask him to bring a gift but I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to do that yet. I'm so on the fence about this guy. He's cute, very funny, I have a genuine attraction to him and I don't necessarily  think he's Salty but my guy-dar is telling me there's just more about this man that meets the eye. Hopefully it's something good!

My boyfriend is a cheater. Finally admitted to it last night.

I need no more convincing... Back to the sugar bowl!

Dressing up is like masturbation, I do it for myself and if it turns you on, that’s fine, but this is for me and you’re not invited.

autumn calls for grey and dark shades of red

Josephine Baker, later known as ‘Bronze Venus’, ‘Black Pearl’ and ‘Créole Goddess’ was born in America in 1906 and later moved to France to become a singer, dancer, and actress. She was the first African-American woman to star in a major motion picture, and became famous worldwide.

Though she grew up as a maid in wealthy white households she eventually became an exotic dancer in France, famously appearing in next to no clothing, and became a French citizen in 1937. 

Ernest Hemingway referred to Baker as ‘the most sensational woman anyone ever saw’ and she received approximately 1500 marriage proposals in her life time. She became a muse for Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Christian Dior. She had a variety of exotic pets including a cheetah named Chiquita, a chimpanzee named Ethel, a pig named Albert, a snake named Kiki, a goat, a parrot, parakeets, fish, three cats, and seven dogs. 

When WWII broke out, Baker became a volunteer spy for France, and assisted the French Resistance by smuggling messages written in invisible ink on sheet music. She made great efforts to aid those in danger of enemy attack, sent Christmas presents to French soldiers, and smuggled information she gathered in Spain back to France by pinning notes containing the information on the inside of her underwear. She was awarded the Medal of Resistance with Rosette and later named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. 

Baker also aided many civil rights movements by refusing to perform to segregated audiences and storming out of a club in Manhattan with actress Grace Kelly after she was refused service. She worked with the NAACP and spoke at a Washington march alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the only official female speaker. Baker was actually asked by Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow to take his place as leader of the American Civil Rights Movement, but Baker declined on the grounds her twelve adopted children ‘were too young to lose their mother’. 

Baker died in 1975, four days after her final show, attended by such names as Mick Jagger, Shirley Bassey, and Liza Minnelli.
