This would be me interviewing Lady Day (Billie Holiday)
Prof. Ledbetter: What prompted you to wear a Gardenia in your hair when you performed?
Lady Day: I first started wear the flower in my hair after I accidentally burn the side of my hair out with curling tongs. I was about to go on stage and I spotted a girl outside the front of the club selling flowers. I bought some to cover up the hair loss that I had suffered from the burns. From that point on I kept wearing Gardenias in my hair.
