Josephine Baker was more beautiful than these video hoes out today. She didn't have to shake her ass, what a talented, classy woman she was.

i see that she did what she wanted on stage....

i got tired from just watching her

[Saintfrank1968]

My modern eyes struggle to watch this and appreciate it for art. In a way all I see is a woman jumping around acting silly. No disrespect to the great Josephine Baker of course...but its just how I feel.

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx Except for the fact that she shook her ass like it was nobody's business. Exhibit A) Banana dance. There's no doubt that Josephine Baker was magnificent, but she was definitely a provocateur.

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx Yes, no one is perfect, I do like her but saying that she's classy is too far. And you're not first to say that. People assume all the stars from the 1910's-50's were innocent when really they all partied and has orgys.

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

@whatevr192 And she wasn't first and sure won't be the last to do it, but hey no one's perfect.

[whatevr192]

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx I wouldn't say she was classy. She had extramarital affairs, posed naked...She purposely did things just to raise eyebrows. She's alright, though, but NOT classy.
