#art #history: i love her mississippi goddam face, so here is an evolution of eunice kathleen waymons wearing it well, in honour of what would have been her 93rd birthday.

@airwhale i thought it was pretty bold for 1964. :)
@kathimmel that's DOCTOR Nina Simone!
@floralia that didn't work as well with the whole mississippi motif. :)
@kathimmel it's the house style; you write her name as Nina Simone, but you say it with the honorific.
@floralia i get that, but i thought you were referring to my 'miss simone, goddam' background. that didn't work with the honorific, is all i was saying.
fair enough if you're pointing out that i should have mentioned her status, but i'm kind of not into all that anyway. :D
@kathimmel Happy birthday Ms Simone, thank youy for the music.
@inpc indeed. 😊 she left a mighty legacy.
