But yeah, we're looking at Sydney now. No, I know.

0

972.128 - 981.653 Grandma Gail

I'm looking at her and I'm thinking to myself, it takes away from her beautiful face and it sort of looks like she's got a sheet thrown or a blanket thrown over her shoulder.

981.873 - 985.735 Kim

Yeah, fair. I think Sydney looked good in all the black. I love the key neck. Now, wait a minute.

6494.841 - 6520.118 Grandma Gail

Because I'm telling you, the cane was very Cab Calloway. Yeah. For people who want to go back and look at dancing, one of the great dancers of, you know, tap dancers of the time was Cab Calloway. And he would dance with his group and he would tap the cane and catch the cane. So that was, you know, part of his entertainment. And that look was carried on by many people in Hollywood.

6522.202 - 6526.692 Grandma Gail

Harlem and other black areas that wanted to emulate Camp Calloway.

6527.995 - 6532.128 Kim

Right. But if you wore a cane now, Like when people just think you had a bad back.

6532.148 - 6535.009 Grandma Gail

They think you were a big dandy, which is what they want them to show.
