That's soooo classic. Are you going to do a 90s series of this? Please do. But talking about 80s hair, Vanessa's hair definitely went through ups and downs on the Cosby Show. At least for the 80s portion of the sitcom it remained in that roller set with two barettes at the top. That may of been the best look on her for the duration of the show.<BR/><BR/>Also, theres an article (in the LA Times I think) about the death of the Black Sitcom. It might be worth a look.Kimberlythinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599932308378311689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-83382988508396565742008-05-29T07:02:00.000-07:002008-05-29T07:02:00.000-07:00Yeah, I loved Lisa Bonet's Black boho woman aethes...Yeah, I loved Lisa Bonet's Black boho woman aethestics, too! She definitely made it cool to be "alternative" w/out feeling a sistah would get her Black card revoked.<BR/><BR/>And Robin Givens? Serious love for her...people tarred-and-feathered her for telling the truth about Mike Tyson's abusive behavior and tried to paint her as an uppity, over-educated gold digger. But I knew in my heart of hearts she was telling the truth, with her beautiful, poised, intelligent self.AJ Plaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695762243887398872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-13316604783388637272008-05-28T17:49:00.000-07:002008-05-28T17:49:00.000-07:00When I was 8 or 9, I wanted to be a Solid Gold dan...When I was 8 or 9, I wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer when I grew up. Obviously, that never happened. **soft laugh**<BR/><BR/>I LOVED Robin Givens and Lisa Bonet as a teenager! I loved Robin because I thought she was so beautiful, so poised, so intelligent, and so very haughty, and I desperately wanted to be all of those things. Well, I was haughty, but I didn't have the looks or the brains or the wealth to back it up. **another laugh** Plus, I wanted hair like hers--little did I know back then that it was a weave. I thought it was all hers. Still, I thought she was the bomb. And I remember when she briefly dated Brad Pitt. I think he was doing guest spots on TV back then, way before he became famous.<BR/><BR/>Lisa was an oddball, yes, and that's why I admired her. I wanted to be like her. When <I>Angel Heart</I> came out, I wanted to have a daughter and name her Epiphany, after Lisa's character in the movie. I thought she was so cool. I still do, matter of fact. <BR/><BR/>**sigh** Thanks for taking me back :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-63751495135419755312008-05-28T17:43:00.000-07:002008-05-28T17:43:00.000-07:00omg, I was all about freddie...she was like..my ki...omg, I was all about freddie...she was like..my kindred spirit lol<BR/><BR/>i loved "jackee" lol she was so fly!Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302233036493770234noreply@blogger.com
