ALLOURA, HOW CAN YOU DESCRIBE HER IN A FEW POWERFUL WORDS? ELECTRIFYING, MAGNETIC, DARING, AND MOST OF ALL ORIGINAL. ALLOURA FIRST STEPPED ON THE SCENE IN 1998 A SKINNY BQ WHO WAS INSECURE AND FUN WHO WANTED ONLY ONE THING TO BE ACCEPTED! ALLOURA LOVE TO DANCE AND EMBRACED VOGUE EVEN BEFOR FULLY GRASPING WHAT PERFORMANCE WAS. AT THAT TIME SHE WENT BY THE NAME CHRISTINA AND SHE WOULD STEP ON THE RUNWAY AND DO SOME OF THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS AND DRAMATIC MOVE OF THAT TIME. ALLOURA IN THE BEGINNING OF HER BALLROOM CAREER GOT CHOPPED VARIOUS TIMES BUT PERHAPS HAVING A CRYSTAL BALL AND SEEING HER FUTURE THE CHOPS DID NOT STOP HER THEY ACTUALLY FUELED HER TO KEEP ON COMING OUT AND TRYING. IN 1998 YOLANDA TOOK HER UNDER THE WING AND SHE STARTED DRAGS PERFORMANCE SHORTLY AFTER TRANSFORMING INTO A FQ. THIS IS WHERE ALLOURA FOUND HER VOICE LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES SHE WOULD GET ON THE RUNWAY AND BLAZE IT WITH RAGE PERSONIFIED. SHE WAS KNOWN IN 1999 AS YOLANDA PROTEGE BUT ALLOURA HAD A FIRE WITHIN HER THAT COULD NOT BE CONTAINED. HER PERFORMANCE WAS HER OWN AND HER GOAL WAS TO TAKE FQ DRAMATICS TO ANOHTER LEVEL TO TAKE WHAT THE OTHERS DID BEFORE HER AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE. ALLOURA WAS A GENUINE CROWD PLEASER! SHE WOULD DO WHATEVER SHE COULD TO PUT THAT EXTRA NICHE, THAT EXTRA DRAMA INTO HER PERFORMANCE. WHETER IT WOULD BE RUNNING DOWN THE RUNWAY INTO A CRAZY DIP, OR GOING TO A SPECTATOR AND PRETENDING TO GIVE THEM ORAL SEX TO JUMPING OFF TABLES. ALLOURA WOULD TRADEMARK HERSELF AT EACH BALL. IN 2000 THE GOLDEN ERA OF PERFORMANCE IT WAS ABOUT THREE FQ'S AT THAT TIME THAT EACH BRANCHED TO MAKE THEIR OWN BALLROOM LEGACY'S AND HISTORY. HER MEEKA AND DEJA! WHEN YOLANDA BRIEFLY LEFT THE HOUSE OF JOURDAN THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENT MET ON THE RUNWAY IN NEW JERSEY AND ALLOURA DECREED. 2000 BECAME A MEMORABLE YEAR FOR SO MANY REASONS BECAUSE IT ETCHED MANY RIVALRIES. DEJA THAT FEBRUARY BECAME THE FIRST $ 1,000 FQ PERFORMANCE WINNER EVER AND ALLOURA FELT IT WAS SHADE THAT RESULTED IN A BATTLE A FEW MONTHS LATER THAT ALLOURA DID HER HELICOPTER HAIR SWING! ALLOURA WOULD CRAB ON A TABLE OR A POLE AND JUST SWING HER HAIR NONSTOP WHETHER IT WAS 14 INCHES OR 22 INCHES. ALLOURA HAD HAIR CONTOL AND WOULD WORK IT IN A FURY. THAT BATTLE RESULTED IN HER WINNING BUT TO HER DISMAY HER AND DEJA WOULD BATTLE FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS WHERE ALLOURA WOULD HAVE A THREE YEAR LOSING STREAK AGAINST DEJA. DURING 2000 ALLOURAS NAME GREW AND SO DID HER DRAMA. HER SHINING MOMENT WOULD BE THE LATEX BALL 2000 AT THE ROSE LAND WHERE THE CATEGORY WAS DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE. SHE AND PONY (WHO WAS THE BURGEONING BQVF STAR AT THE TIME AND WHO BECAME HER BROTHER) BATTLED FOR BLOOD! THEY WENT HEAD TO TOE WITH ALLOURA LETTING HIM KNOW THAT SHE OWNS DRAMATIC! AFTER THAT SHORTLY SHE LEFT THE HOUSE OF JOURDAN AND CAME TO THE HOUSE OF EBONY BECAUSE HER CLOSENESS WITH MEEKA, SINIA AND OTHERS. THAT IS WHEN HER AND YOLANDA ME ON THE FLOOR AGAIN THIS TIME YOLANDA TAKING THE WIN HOME LETTING HER KNOW THEIR WAS A PRICE FOR HER BETRAYAL. THUS BECAME THE TIME AND ERA OF THE EBONY GIRLS. HER, MEEKA, MERCEDES AND NIAMBI WOULD COME OUT AND ALWAYS DO THEIR THING. ALLOURA ALSO HAD A DRAMATIC RIVALRY WITH ALEXIS ( SEXY LEXY) THE DRAMATIC PANTHER FROM PHILLY WHERE THEY WOULD ALWAYS GO HEAD TO HEAD. ONE OF THEIR HOTTEST BATTLES IN PHILLY ALLOURA CALLED HER OFF THE PANEL AND WHEN ALEXIS WENT TO HUS HER ALLOURA LURED HER INTO A FALSE SECURITY AND THEN SHADED HER AND AFTER THAT THEY BATTLED FOR BLOOD. THEY WOULD ALWAYS GO AT IT NO HOLDS BARRED. ALLOURA THEN IN 201 STARTED TO CHANGE AND BLOSSOM AS SHE GOTTEN HER BODY WORK DONE SHE ADDED A MORE SENSUAL PERFORMANCE TO HER DRAMATICS. INSTEAD OF JUST GOING IN WITH THE DRAMA SHE WOULD SHAKE HER TITS AND WORK HER BODY AND THIS MADE THE KIDS LIVE FOR HER EVEN MORE! HER AND DEJA WOULD CONSTANTLY MEET ON THE RUNWAY AND DEJA WOULD WIN OVER HER EVERY TIME EVEN TIMES WHEN IT SHOULD OF WENT HER WAY. ALSO IN 2001 SHE HAD TWO MAJOR PRODUCTIONS. 1.) THE EBONY SUPER HERO PRODUCTION SHE WAS HARLEY QUINN AND JUMPED OUT OF THE BOX AND VOGUED TO THE DRUMS. SHE LOST TO DEJAS SMASHING AND PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE AS MYSTIQUE. 2.) THE CARRIE PRODUCTION IN PHILLY AT JAY BLAHINIKS BALL! THE PRODUCTION SUITED HER BECAUSE ALLOURA ALWAYS IDENTIFIED WITH HER BECAUSE ALLOURA ALWAYS IDENTIFIED WITH THE CARRIE CHARACTER. SHE ALWAYS FELT LIKE AN OUTCAST AND LOVE TO USE THE RAGE IN HER TO VOGUE AND GIVE A SHOW! 2002 WAS ANOTHER SHIFT IN HER PERFORMANCE ALLOURA HAD DEVELOPED A REALISTIC MODELS FRAME AND WOULD SHOW IT OFF AS MUSH AS SHE DID. SHE SAID HER BREASTS WAS HER HOTTEST COMMODITY AND WOULD BRAG ON HOW REALISTIC AND SOFT THEY WERE. IN 2002 WHEN THE PRODIGY'S FORMED AND BECAME A HOUSE SHE WAS ONE OF THE EBONYS THAT LEFT AND WENT WITH THEM. SHE GOT FQ PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR FOR 2002 AND ALSO STARTED BRANCHING OFF TO OTHER CATEGORIES FQ JUNIOR SEX SIREN AND F1 BODY. IN 2003 SHE LEFT PRODIGY WANTING TO BE A MOTHER AND STARTED A SHORT TENURE AS MOTHER LABEIJA. HER LEAVING CAUSED A FRICTION BETWEEN HER AND HER SISTER MEEKA RESULTING IN THEM BATTLING AND MEEKA PREVAILING EACH TIME. 2004 ALLOURA WENT TO THE HOUSE OF GIVENCHY AND AT THE 2004 LEGENDS BALL IS WHERE SHE FINALLY DEFEATED DEJA AFTER A FEW YEARS. IN A LITTLE DRESS ALLOURA SHOOK HER ASS AND TITS AND DID CLASSIC ALLOURA AND WAS RECOGNIZED! IN 2005 AT THE LATEX BALL SHE CAME OUT IN A TUPAC/ BIGGIE VIDEO VIXEN DRESS AND SHOOK UP THE WHOLE BUILDING! SHE BATTLED CHAMPAGNE FIRST AND SLAYED LIKE A PLAYERS CLUB SIREN. SHE DELIVERED A BEAUTIFUL BEAT TO BEAT PERFORMANCE AND AFTERWARDS WORKED THE FLOOR LIKE A STRIPPER. EVEN THOUGH SHE LOST TO ROXY THAT NIGHT ITS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE WIN BUT ABOUT WHO MADE THE STATEMENT THAT NIGHT! ALLOURA BECAME A BLAHNIK AND WHEN HER BROTHER PONY STARTED HIS OWN HOUSE SHE WENT ALONG TO GIVE HIM SUPPORT. AS THE GLAMOROUS PART OF THE BALLROOM SCENE IS EVIDENT THE DEMONS AND THE DARKNESS OF THE SCENE IS ALSO UNFORTUNATELY RELEVANT. ALLOURA SIMILAR TO SOME HOLLYWOOD STARLETS HAD HER OWN PERSONAL DEMONS THAT SHE WOULD SUCCUMB TO. ALLOURA HAD A RARE ABILITY AND GIFT THAT SHE WOULD USE CONSTANTLY! SHE WOULD MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH ALLOURA WAS A GENUINE KEE KEE! SHE KNEW HOW TO IMITATE MOVIES AN PEOPLE AND WAS ALWAYS WITTY. ALLOURA PERFORMED AT A FEW VARIOUS FUNCTIONS FROM 2006- 2008 WHERE SHE WOULD COME OUT AND DELIVER WHAT SHE HAD BEST...HERSELF! THE ONE THING IN ALLOURAS LIFE THAT WAS CONSTANT THAT EVEN WITH HER SADNESS AND HER PERSONAL ISSUES SHE WOULD DELIVER A SMILE. ALLOURA PASSED AWAY IN AUGUST 2009 AND HAD A BEAUTIFUL HOME GOING. IT WAS PACKED FROM WALL TO WALL AND THEIR WAS NOTHING BUT LOVE AND TEARS THERE. THE FIERY PERSONA IN LIFE WOULD BECOME A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL IN PASSING! ALLOURA WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS AND IN BALLROOM HISTORY! WHY BECAUSE SHE WAS UNIQUE AND ONE OF THE BEST GIFTS TO OFFER IN THE WORLD!

NOTABLE MENTIONS- ALLOURA WAS KNOWN ALSO FOR HER FUNKY STYLES AND WILD HAIR COLORS. FROM BLONDE AND PINK TO BLONDE AND BLUE TO LONG  TO A BOB ETC!!!
