Our mother daughter style was quite different. Aside from the difference in our height (she was five feet two inches and I am five feet seven inches), skin and hair coloring ( check out my post Why Don’t You Look More Like Your Mother?, for more on that), my mother, Eartha Kitt, was attracted to […]
Last year I went down to South Carolina and the small town called North, where my mother was from, to celebrate the first official ‘Eartha Kitt Day’, January 17th, also known as Bill H3036, which was approved and passed by the State legislators in 2016 and signed by then Governor, Nikki Haley.
