Child, this interview was fire. The shade, all these years later, still burning bright. But I don't fault Allen Adonis. He has earned it. I loved what he said at the end about how he judges. We need more judges like him who are seasoned, and yes OLDER, who take this shit SERIOUSLY. There is no doubt he means every word he says. You could engrave it all on the side of the Empire State Building without changing one comma! He is consummate ballroom through and through. Imagine speaking like this in an interview. Child, you might get yourself hired at CNN! THESE are the type of people who need to make up the judges panels. If that were the case, we wouldn't be forced to endure half the mess we witness on the runway today. Yes, Allen looks like he would be a tough, tough judge. But don't fear the work. Step up ya pussy! Put in the work. If you get his vote, know it's an honor.
The Michael Ebony that Allen was referring to was not the actor, he was mentioning the butch queen face contender from the early 80's - Michael K. Williams joined the Ebony's in the early 90's (black era).
Wow!!Colorism in ballroom.Allen is so handsome & articulate.I live!!
Ballroom throwbacks is so iconic .i have learned so much and been entertained through this channel .❤

“The whole house of Omni!” I love old school shade!
Love you always Allen. Knowing you all these years you're one of the ones where you're inside matches your outside love you always
No shade, he still has dark and lovely face.
I’m not in ballroom but this was informative. Please explain red and black period.
The red era in ballroom are the years 1986-1990 the black era was 1991-1997/8
Allen is beautiful my goodness ❤️🔥
❤
The European celebration has to stop. It’s gotten worse as most of the guys celebrated in other videos fit that narrative.
Love jacen
Sad that colorism exists and STILL exists... It's gotten better but it's still there.
Damn I wish they had clips from each persons era. Ugh
Another thing I wished, I wish y’all asked these gentlemen their zodiac signs.. Allen is giving it and I wish I knew what his sign is
❤❤❤
When he said Michael Ebony at 6:45 was he talking about Michael K. Williams from The Wire
He was in ballroom? Wow never knew that.
The Michael Ebony that Allen was referring to was not the actor, he was mentioning the butch queen face contender from the early 80's - Michael K. Williams joined the Ebony's in the early 90's (black era).
“ NEVER BE ON THE DEFENSE “
the way he ended this was OVAH
Mayson!!!
