Happy birthday to Édith Piaf, born on this day in 1915!
The Belleville street urchin whose towering voice and raw heartbreak turned “La Vie en rose,” “Non, je ne regrette rien,” and “Milord” into eternal anthems of love, loss, and unbreakable Parisian soul. La Môme Piaf forever.
Isn’t it funny how, when someone preaches compassion for oppressed communities, it’s denounced as “bringing their church into the world of politics,” but that same “religion” is used in politics to justify stripping away basic human rights?

“Santa Baby” was originally sang 70+ years ago by Eartha Kitt.
The once-banned sultry single has become a wintertime classic. After being released in October 1953, it quickly became the top selling Christmas song of the year.
