“Crush On You” was the second single from Lil’ Kim’s RIAA-certified double platinum debut album Hard Core, released to radio June 10, 1997 and peaking at # 1 on the Billboard Rap chart. The accompanying video is noted as being the first to feature the colored wigs that Kim became known for. The theme of the changing floor colors was based on the 1978 film ‘The Wiz,’ starring Kim’s childhood idol Diana Ross.

Stripper Evangeline Sylvas angrily breaking the water tank being used by a fellow stripper. Location: New Orleans, LA, US Date taken: 1949 Photographer: John Dominis

This was from LIFE magazine. The stripper inside the tank was Divena and, according to what I could find, “Divena’s fellow strippers weren’t too happy about the attention she was getting.” Evangeline’s act required that she get out of an “over-sized oyster” and she did not appreciate that Divena not only got top billing, but also got to strip underwater – which was more novel than the oyster shell. Evangeline grabbed an ax and, hence, the broken tank. Evangeline was fined $10.

Kerry James Marshall: Mastry exhibition review – a sumptuous symphony in black

Met Breuer, New York This retrospective is a stone-cold stunner which proudly insists on the place of African Americans in the American artistic imagination, using the tropes of exclusionary imagery to new, more moral ends
