I thought I would post some Vanity pics I found that haven't been posted here yet (as far as I know).


Before I do, does anyone here have a pic of Vanity and Adam Ant together? I have never been able to find one of them...


Also, if anyone has any fan photos they have taken with her or have found, feel free to share with the rest of us. I'm curious if any of the orgers here have met Denise Matthews back when she was Vanity...


anyway here are some pics that I think are pretty rare...hope you all enjoy them!

Vanity + Mr. T. posing on set when she guest appeared on his show "T. and T." in 1988

Vanity + Berry Gordy + Diana Ross at premiere for "The Last Dragon" in 1985. Is it just me or does Diana look disgusted by something or someone here?

so tempted to post pics of the He-She vanity

WOW.... She was so beautiful and sexy!

I saw her performance in 52 Pick-Up...Lawd that was one mess of a violent movie and Vanity's role had me lookin' like

Great pictures! Vanity was always the HOTEST and Most BEAUTIFUL Women around.

I can see a ressemblance with Mani. Prince sure has a type. They're all gorgeous.

Thanks so much!

Great pictures mimi2. Vanity was and still is a beautiful woman. Thanks 4 sharing these gorgeous pictures of her

WOW thnx for those. I recently watched Terror Train and Vanity was so hott in that.LOve the pics with her and apples

I'll never understand why she thought she had to put herself out there like that. She is so pretty,she should have used in it better ways.

Looks like Harry Belafonte

GREAT THREAD. WE LOVE VANITY, SHE WAS THE BEST OF THE PRINCE PROTEGES AND NOT A HALF BAD ACTRESS OR SINGER EITHER. HER BEAUTY IS INCOMPARABLE TO ANY CHICK OF THE EIGHTIES OR TODAY. GO ON GIRL! YOU ROCK!

often imitated but never duplicated.

Some other guy???? WTF???

Sometimes circumstances lead people places they regret. Not saying posing for Playboy is a bad thing at all.

But if I'm not mistaken Denise was abused by one of her parents (I don't know if there was sexual abuse) but she went thru a serious mind trip, when she met Prince, (his control issues) and the seeing other women didn't do Vanity well at all. Of course she started using coke with Morris and the rest is history
