OH MAIZ
i cant remember when i was first captivated by this electric dancer of the 1920's. She had a career in showbuisness from the about the age of 15 until her death. She ran on energizer batteries or somthing cuz this woman she was on stage, her presence strong as ever, the day before she died. She moved to Paris at 19 and turned the world upside-down, as the French adored her and saw her as an exotic flower and not the "inferior negro" she was seen as in the United States at that time. Dancer, singer, actor, commedian, humanitarian, simply stunning.

enjoy what i found on youtube!
