I made little portraits of me and my best friends' favourite song and dance funny men as christmas presents!

I also made these little prize ribbons to go along with them:

...If I made them now I’d have given them all a prize for losing round 2 of @hotvintagepoll

#not reblog bait btw i do not consider this a propaganda submission #no comment on who lost more badly because it might've been my guy 🤐 #artists on tumblr #fred astaire #donald o'connor #danny kaye #tap dance #song and dance men #golden age hollywood #traditional art #hotvintagepoll #my art #kelpiegry-art #fanart #2023

[hotvintagepoll]

This is a three-way poll. Only one of these men will continue to the third round of the bracket.

Propaganda

Fred Astaire (Top Hat, Shall We Dance, Easter Parade)—Not just a dancer (but oh, what a dancer), we should also show nothing but respect to a man whose characters had the good sense to repeatedly fall in love with Ginger Rogers over the course of ten movies together!! He was such a style icon that even Cary Grant wanted to know where he got his clothes. Astaire was one of those men whose intense charisma and talent is best understood when seeing him in motion!! A genuinely lovely person who worked very hard and did his utmost to promote the standards of how dancing should look and be filmed on screen. Debbie Reynolds also had some lovely stories about him in her autobiography [clips and Debbie's anecdotes below]

Johnny Weismuller (The Tarzan movies)—no propaganda submitted

Boris Karloff (Frankenstein)—I feel like everyone should know Boris Karloff had Indian ancestry and grew up in the UK, so he deeply understood the outsider feelings he portrayed so beautifully onscreen...and that's never minding his gorgeous soulful eyes, his expressive hands. (plus he voices the grinch. how can you not love the grinch?)

This is round 2 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Boris Karloff propaganda:

"when he was out of the monster makeup he was touching, elegant, dignified"

Fred Astaire propaganda:

No additional propaganda was submitted for Johnny Weismuller.
