Ella Gifft
- ... that US Virgin Islands suffragist Ella Gifft smuggled rum during prohibition by hiding it in her underwear? Source: "One song, "Ella Gifft", tells the story of a large-bodied woman who was notorious for her ability to smuggle rum into the US Virgin Islands, a practice that US prohibition made quite profitable. She did this by concelaing the contrband bottles of rum in specially made pockets in her pantalettes, which were quite roomy due to her large size." Colleen Ballerino (2010).
