I met Barney off CBBC today! Hahahahaha xD
I’m doing voluntary work on the Welsh Proms this week and he was the presenter of the kids’ concert we had this afternoon. I was in charge of his spotlight (exciting stuff :P) and then we all got pictures afterwards. FUN DAY. And one of the guys I’m working with a lot is apparently the bassist from Catatonia, which is pretty damn cool to me even if nobody else cares (also he’s really nice and really helpful and we had a good chat about Shakespeare so he’s cool Catatonia or no Catatonia)
Anyway, today was the BEST. Worked over 13 hours with very little break (though a lot of it was sitting around on my arse watching concerts and occasionally flicking a switch so I can’t complain) and I really really loved it. I want to do this as my actual career SO BADLY. SOOOOO BADLYYYYYYYY!

On this date, July 19, in 1925, entertainer and singer, Josephine Baker, makes her Paris debut.
Josephine Baker sashayed onto a Paris stage during the 1920s with a comic, yet sensual appeal that took Europe by storm. Famous for barely-there dresses and no-holds-barred dance routines, her exotic beauty generated nicknames “Black Venus," “Black Pearl" and “Creole Goddess." Admirers bestowed a plethora of gifts, including diamonds and cars, and she received approximately 1,500 marriage proposals. She maintained energetic performances and a celebrity status for 50 years until her death in 1975. Unfortunately, racism prevented her talents from being wholly accepted in the United States until 1973. [Continue reading biography.]

Hahahaha! Oh god, is that what I’m like? xD

Love this photo - saw it at the exhibition at the NT last weekend and it was definitely a highlight!

Reblogging again because the silly grin from about 0:50 makes me happy <3

Posting this seperately, because he’s worth it. xD
Why do people mock gingers when they’re clearly the BEST THING EVER?
