Josephine Baker (30) in New York to promote appearance in the Ziegfeld Follies, Photo by Murray Korman, 1936.
National Portrait Galley, London.
The photo session dates from 1936 and was taken in New York to promote Bakers appearance in the Ziegfeld Follies - the first and last black star ever to do so. Josephine appeared in three segments, dancing and then singing. This photo illustrates the third segment of her appearance where she performed the song “Five a.m.” by Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin and was choreographed by Georges Balanchine. The outfits were designed by Vincent Minelli, and this dress was gold in colour. Baker is depicted here with her dancers in the “Five a.m.” segment. (ref p100 Josephine Baker, by Hammond & O’Connor 1988 and p168 Jazz Cleopatra by Phyllis Rose).

Chupacabras - Succhiasangue (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1449521767-chupacabras-succhiasangue?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=NicolsGuglielmetti Nel cuore della pampa argentina, un gruppo di amici si avventura in una remota fattoria per un fine settimana di caccia e relax. Tuttavia, ciò che inizia come un viaggio tranquillo si trasforma rapidamente in un'esperienza terrificante quando si trovano di fronte a segni macabri di presunti attacchi di “chupacabras”, creature leggendarie conosciute per i loro orribili predatori. Mentre l'oscurità avvolge la campagna e la paranoia si diffonde tra loro, i confini tra realtà e mito si sbiadiscono, portando a una lotta per la sopravvivenza contro una forza oscura e inspiegabile.
