Classical Allure is a fan-made tumblr showcasing vintage performers of color in all their glory. The tumblr is run by brandos, isitscary, and xstaceyjones.
Our main goal is to expose people to ignored yet amazingly talented entertainers of color that have been seemingly placed on a shelf or never even known because they do not posess the paler assets of their peers.
Come take a journey with us into the past and learn about the history and heritage of the classic entertainment industry from the person of color’s persepective.
