Get Glam for the Holidays! (Vintage Black Glam, That Is!)



Are you still looking for the perfect gift for someone for Christmas?


Well, if you've got a friend or a family member who loves just about anything vintage, glamorous, historic, and/or educational, then Nichelle Gainer's Vintage Black Glamour book would make the perfect gift!


Vintage Black Glamour includes photos of classic Black entertainers that Ms. Gainer has shared on her blog of the same name for the past few years. Gracing the cover is none other than "Mother Eartha", Ms. Eartha Kitt. Also included are rare images of icons like Josephine Baker and Dorothy Dandridge, and of unknown beauties like these four friends posing on a beach! 


Vintage Black Glamour also includes photos of the beautiful woman who ignited this journey for Ms. Gainer, her aunt, Margaret Tynes, an opera and jazz singer who's been hailed all over the world for her artistry.
