What a magical and powerful night we had @brooklynmuseum #browngirlsburlesque @speaktolive with @repostapp ・・・ The Q&A of the show. Grateful I was part of this amazing show. Got a chance to hear the creative process of each dance piece. Each performer has a different story. Burlesque is such a underrated yet powerful art. It has been around since the test of times. Being free in your body is another radical act for the world to witness. It shows your happiness in this temporary body. Your curves your movement, the vibrancy of your walk is another artistic stance in a time where there's only certain images of beauty. If you're interested look up the history of burlesque particularly Black Burlesque. You will be surprise of what stories you will discover. Be Bold. Be You. Thank you @bgburlesque #truth #power #selflove #burlesque #burlesquedancers #bodybeauty #prettybodies #reclaim #NotNaked #bold #blackburlesque #performers #art #bodyart #panel #bodyimage #empowerment #browngirlsburlesque #beyourself #getnaked #transparency #beautiful #fullbody #storytelling (at Brooklyn Museum)

Oh Eartha, Oh Sammy! Giving me life reminding me what genius looks like. Thank and good night. #Repost @vintageblackglamour with @repostapp ・・・ Eartha Kitt and Sammy Davis, Jr. in one of the best scenes from their film, Anna Lucasta. Kitt and Davis not only starred in the film, they had "financial participation" (in other words, they put their own money into it). On top of that, just before Anna Lucasta’s world premiere in 1958, the MPAA Advertising Code Administration refused to approve several ads for the film claiming (according to The Hollywood Reporter) “that the ads blatantly portray the femme lead as a prostitute” and that the "art emphasizes her posterior.” Kitt and Davis also sent letters to hundreds of exhibitors in the south because many Southern theaters did not book the film on “racial grounds.” #EarthaKitt #SammyDavisJr #vbgbook #vintageblackglamour
