Bricktop di 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. But this didn’t translate well through the book. I have no idea what she was like or why people (according to her) adored her so much. She kept questionable company as well…. 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.… (altro)
