No matter where you stand on the controversy of the television show, THE AMOS 'N' ANDY SHOW is history.

While we cannot ignore its racial origins, to take away AMOS 'N' ANDY's place in history is to take away these Black actors' work. And that . . . I cannot do.

Read my deep dive into the Black actors who brought the characters to the television screen in my ✨NEW✨ piece, GIVING B(L)ACK OUR VOICE: A Moment with AMOS 'N' ANDY by Dominique Breckenridge:

*NEW* video edit on the Channel!

KATHERINE DUNHAM: She Is the Moment: https://youtu.be/xb2Gflrjlug

It's 2025, and I still feel people are not fully digesting what a movement, what a moment Katherine Dunham was in her craft—dancing, choreographing, inventing—in every move she made.
And my *NEW* brief CINEMA COFFEE write-up about the impact of Dunham to go along with my KATHERINE DUNHAM: She Is the Moment video: https://dominiquerevue.weebly.com/katherine-dunham-she-is-the-moment.html

FILMING #PERIODPIECES: #MARIEANTOINETTE (1938) #Costumes, #Sets, #Performance

For my birthday this year, I thought, what better way to celebrate than with one of my favorite films and my favorite period pieces (in terms of scope, scale, sets, style, and costumes) . . . MARIE ANTOINETTE (1938).

It is the film that most inspired me to create my own original period piece several years back, Dominique's #THESOCIETY, but in a world where fantasy meets reality on the same plane, and the characters . . . look like me!

My mannequin for June? Banana skirt. Had to. La Baker, you know.

Had company over and a friend stopped at one of my mannequins, "Oh! Ok! Talk to me? What's the story?"

Me: "My La Baker homage."

Eyes popped, "Of course! Banana skirt! She did that—Miss Josephine Baker."

Yes. Yes, she did.

I usually change my mannequins out seasonally or monthly, depending on the season or month. This month, being the month La Baker was born (June 3rd), I put the Banana Skirt I made—as an homage to #JosephineBaker (what she called her "banana belt")—on display for June!

Photo of Miss Baker: "Haas of Hamburg portrait of Baker posing in her famous banana skirt from her performance in 'La Folie du Jour', signed and inscribed in English in fountain pen:

“"To 'Ron Calliano' With best wishes and sincere admiration from Josephine Baker Jan 31/30.”"
