Prince's Ex Twin Dancer (from Gett Off Video time) in Hair commercial

saw this girl that looks like one of the twins that P used in all of his Diamonds and Pearl days in a hair commercial. Not sure which one it is but i think it may be that new shampoo-something tology.....she's on a chair and she swings her head over and swings her hair around in another girl's face....anyone know what i'm talking about and anyone have the same thought as me? i know it's her...what were their names? i can look it up then and see if it's her.

I'll keep an eye out for that commerical. I've seen it quite a few times, but not recently.
Wouldn't that be something if it was?
I think their real names were Lorie (Diamond) & Robia (Pearl)
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

At the time of their association with Prince (and I gues this goes in the Associated Artists forum), they were known as:

Diamond: Lori Werner (or Lori Elle on occasions)

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0253954/

From: http://www.c4md.org/hancher/millie.html in 2005

"Lori Werner (Assistant Director/Choreographer) is most known for her work in videos and world concert tours as the female lead dancer with Prince, Michael Jackson and Ricky Martin. She has also appeared in the original Broadway productions of Jerome Robbins' Broadway and Forum. She began her collaboration with Mr. McKneely as assistant choreographer of Smokey Joe's Cafe and continued as assistant director/choreographer in productions of West Side Story at La Scala Opera and Tokyo's Ohyama Theatre. Ms. Werner has worked extensively in television with credits such as an ABC Development Deal and collaborations with director/choreographers Vince Paterson and Jamie King. You have seen her work on such shows as the "Academy Awards," "Saturday Night Live," and the "Oprah Winfrey Show." Thanks and appreciation to Mr. McKneely, Cast, and "The Team.""

Pearl: Robia LaMorte or Robia La Morte

http://www.robialamorte.com/main.html

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0478750/

Robia LaMorte has her own website which updates her retirement from dancing:

"Robia LaMorte was born in Queens, New York and grew up in the Florida Keys. At the age of twelve she moved with her family to Los Angeles, California.

"Soon thereafter she saw the movie "Flashdance", and her life was forever changed. She immediately began to pursue a career as a dancer and began taking jazz, ballet and tap classes after school.

"Robia was accepted to attend The Los Angeles County High School For The Arts as a dance major their first year in operation in Los Angeles. She left the school after one year to fulfill a full dance scholarship at the prestigious Dupree Dance Academy in Hollywood.

"At the age of sixteen Robia began to work professionally. Her first job was the music video, "Shake Your Love", by Debbie Gibson. You can see Robia looking very "Flashdance-esque" with her big 80's, ala Jennifer Beals permed hair!

"Robia went on to appear in more than thirty music videos before Prince pursued her to play the role of "Pearl" on his hit album "Diamonds & Pearls".

"She toured Europe with Prince and The Pet Shop Boys and also traveled extensively doing dance fashion shows with companies such as Reebok, Puma and Adidas.

"At the age of twenty-two, Robia hung up her dance shoes and retired. She decided the next logical move would be acting. She began by doing television commercials before landing her first role as Jason Priestley's girlfriend on "Beverly Hills 90210".

"She went on to guest star on shows like "The Sentinel", "The Pretender" and "Time Of Your Life", before she was hired to play "Jenny Calendar" on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".

"After three seasons on "Buffy", Robia recurred on the WB show "Rescue 77" and filmed several independent films such as "12 Stops On The Road To Nowhere" and "Pomegranate".

"In 1997 Robia became a Christian. She has been in ministry since 1999. Through her success in the entertainment industry she has been invited to travel the world and in turn minister the gospel to thousands. Her main areas of focus are the baptism of the Holy Spirit and physical and emotional healing. She specializes in teaching how to identify and overcome patterns, strongholds, and belief systems using the Word of God. Robia is passionate about bringing people past a head knowledge of God and into an experiential relationship with Him and has a unique way of making God relatable to this generation."


In the 'Reel' section of her website it provides a link to a Quicktime movie of her work for Vidal Sassoon
