Goldilocks, you're on a roll with all the photos today. lol Thanks for sharing. Vanity has such a beautiful face. I just wish she would have waxed that fuzz off of her upper lip. Every time I see her picture the "mustache" shading annoys the hell out of me.

Those were nice. Thanks for sharing. One of my favorite pictures appeared in Black Beat in the 80's. It was of Vanity 6, but Vanity looked really stunning. She doesn't know how to take a bad picture. mad

I've posted this one before. (Tried to add it to the gallery but, for some reason I couldn't.)

I doubt she was conceited, considering her father was very abusive. He probably drained any self esteem she had. Also, I read somewhere that she said that people told her she was very pretty, but dumb.

Also, I got a reply from her when I asked her how she was doing (health wise), and told her to not push herself if she wasn't feeling well enough to do her book.
She responded very nicely and said "Thank you for your kind words and God Bless You". That doesn't sound like an ignorant person to me. Of course we all have our flaws, but life changes us and we learn and grow up. That is what she has done. If you think about just look at all the pastors, police officers and judges and so on with those types of jobs. I always hear them say how much of a delinquint they used to be. Relatives of mine have told me stories of people they known in high school or college who were this or that and now they are preachers, etc. They finally hit a wall where there is know where to go but up or dead.

Sorry, got off topic.

Denise was never conceited or unkind or rude. Never.

I also find it interesting that I posted on another thread that I know her and no one has responded. You all just like to ramble on and not get to any thing real? Yep that's a gauntlet being dropped.

Here's what I think: the fact is that *anybody* can claim *anything* on an anonymous site such as this. Lotsa people come on here claiming to "know" this or that person so I don't think such a proclaimation carries much weight anymore. (I'm not accusing you of lying or that you don't really know her, I'm just pointing out there are plenty of people who make that same type of claim but who, in actuality, are merely full of doody and people around here realize that merely because someone *says* they know [fill in the blank], doesn't make it true.)

Are you upset that nobody made a big deal out of your saying that you know her? Well, if you really do know her, that's wonderful for you and you are very lucky. Did you want to discuss her and pass on personal information about her and your relationship with her, or what? Maybe nobody wants to go there, into YOUR personal business, and that's why no one responded?

if you really want to "get into" something "real", why dont you start a thread yourself telling everybody what you want to say?

Ok, I just noticed something for the first time. In some angles, Vanity reminds me of Phylicia Rashaad. For instance, in the 12th picture of her in the yellow blouse, there is something about her that makes me think of Phylicia. Does anyone else see it?

Also, I have been asking this question for years with no answer. What is the correct pronunciation of Taimak's name? Is it "Tie Mack" or is it "Tay Mock", or something else. I have never heard anyone actually say his name. They always say, "the guy in The Last Dragon" or The guy in Janet Jackson's, "Let's Wait a While" video.
I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin.

Her and Phylicia Rashad have similar and very pretty eyes. They have a sort of classic elegance look about them. Phylicia Rashad is just elegant in general ,i.e, by her gestures and how she speaks.

Nobody wants to go there re: personal information on Vanity? Umm... I see 'rare pics of Vanity' posted here, and her supposed 'bio' posted by not Vanity, but Goldilocks? I mentioned that I know her as a way of providing accurate information. For example.. she also went by the last name of Seneck.

I've asked a relative to mail to me the pictures of my time in a beauty pageant, the one Denise won. My intention was to post those pics. I felt there was no invasion of privacy issue as I am also in the pics I would post.

Would it be 'wrong' to share those pics or other information?

Pics are delayed by a few days. Mother didn't mail them when she said *egh*

I don't 'be loving' anyone on here.. don't know ya lol.

One other thing.. when Denise was Miss Niagara Hospitality, she was subjected to quite an amount of racism. Being mulatto and all. Gawd I dislike our culture sometimes ....anyhoot....

She was needed at a public event as Miss Niagara. The chief of police said he wouldn't stand next to a 'monkey' and refused to be photographed with Denise.
