@waynebrasier I don't think the 40s or 50s were periods where women walked around anything less than dressed from the handbag and gloves to the matching hat - if you catch my drift - Especially if they were a celebrity, just ask your grandma. Actually, Anita is greatly noted as a sort of "rebel" who refused to wear gowns and follow the "glamourous dame" stereotype, simply because she wanted to be recognized as a serious artist. She even had a matching band uniform when she was a "Girl Singer" :)

Seldom mentioned but definitely part of her success was the way she looked. Always very fashionable, very hip, stylishly coiffed. And despite being a very sophisticated, urban jazz singer she had a very fresh-scrubbed All American look (as did June Christy and Chris Connor). Chris pointed out that all three of them came from the Midwest and very close (Anita, Chicago; June, Decature; Chris, Kansas City and then Jefferson City and Columbia). They were all fans of each others' work.

El jazz hecho MUJER. La dama vestida como si saliera de la oficina. La forma de interpretar, los saltos de tiempo y la vocalización. La solicitud de entradas a los enormes músicos que la acompañan en ésta fiesta del ritmo y buen gusto. Una hermosura.
i just fell in love again!
