Как-то тут на ней неожиданно много одежды.

Гипотезы: в 1927 году - только что в очередной раз вышла замуж, но скорее был просто неурожай на бананы :)

Ещё свидетельство классика:
"Was in there one night with Don Ogden Stewart and Waldo Pierce when the place was set on fire by the most sensational woman anybody ever saw. Or ever will. Tall, coffee skin, ebony eyes, legs of paradise, a smile to end all smiles. Very hot night but she was wearing a coat of black fur, her breasts handling the fur like it was silk. She turned her eyes on me - she was dancing with the big British gunner subaltern who had brought her - but I responded to the eyes like a hypnotic and cut in on them. The subaltern tried to shoulder me out but the girl slid off him and onto me. Everything under that fur instantly communicated with me. I introduced myself and asked her name. "Josephine Baker," she said. We danced nonstop for the rest of the night. She never took off her fur coat. Wasn't until the joint closed she told me she had nothing on underneath."
