Who Colored Woman were ...

burlesque dancer Lola Coquette by Gwen Trahan
on a September 2010 photo shoot !!!!

The picture, the mood takes me back to a few places in my life. One: my mother used to have a robe like that. Two: the coke reminds me how women looked and the atmosphere felt when Colored women took a break from their day towards sunset with laughter, a smoke and a pop. And lastly, the hat reminds me of church; Sunday best when women poor and rich were stylish on Sunday mornings. - Gregory E. Woods, 2.22.15
