Bricktop Tekijä: Bricktop
Dated, stylistically, reminded me of the Lauren Bacall book I read as a teenager. Bricktop apparently had a je ne sais quoi that resulted in her great success as a caberet singer and night club owner—the book is a veritable list of who’s who.

Lots of people we now know of as nazi and nazi sympathizers…but she seemed to try to live by a simple credo: if you treat me well I’ll treat you well…but these people are not good for the world…. So I’m confused after reading the book.… (lisätietoja)
