NEW: Christian Louboutin DAFFODILE ‘PYTHON OPACO’ ($1,495)
Eartha Kitt was born on this day in 1927. Here she is with her ex-fiance Sammy Davis Jr. filming Anna Lucasta in 1958. They were very briefly engaged in 1952 (or, as Ms. Kitt told me in 2001 - before he lost his eye!) and starred in the film with a cast of greats from the black theater, particularly those who were members of the American Negro Theater. Kitt and Davis not only starred in the film, they had financial participation - which came with considerable headaches.
With all of the birthday excitement today I completely forgot that today is Vintage Black Glamour’s birthday too! I have been working on the book (research, collecting photos) since 2005 - but this Tumblr and the Twitter account @VintageBlkGlam were born on January 17, 2011 with this picture of Josephine Baker.
