A night at Chez Josephine, New York City!
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008
I’m sure Joan will want to say something about our evening (to celebrate our 21st anniversary together) at the local French restaurant, Chez Josephine. It’s quite high class, beautiful decor, with French speaking waiters. The bonus for us – a big one – was that it’s named after Josephine Baker, the black American dancer of the 1930s and 1940s who settled in Paris from the US. She pushed the boundaries of popular entertainment with an overt sexuality in her movements but also parody of it. She was a staunch anti-fascist during the Vichy regime period in France during World War Two. I’m posting some photos for now. Barry
