I have a lot of friends who are pretty tough when it comes to buying gifts. So, I’m always looking for something unique. This morning I found a really interesting BBC video clip spotlighting a new book called Vintage Black Glamour that looks fabulous!
The author, Nichelle Gainer, started a Tumblr page on the topic after discovering that black actors, entertainers, models, etc. were greatly underrepresented in most depictions of Hollywood’s golden age of glamour. The resulting recently published coffee table book not only contains those photographs but also biographies of some of the men and women who paved the way for current-day celebrities.
I can think of at least three friends who’ll be getting this for Christmas! Take a look…Maybe you know someone who would love it too:)
