Every day when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being ME. | |

Wendy is in the white suit on Bonnie Raitt's right - she has longer hair, and Lisa is on keyboards to the far right of the stage. The camera cuts to a quick closeup of her in the middle of the song. At the end, as they walk off the stage Wendy and Lisa are the last ones in the line. * Great performance!! | |

Her voice is just gorgeous. She sings on Wendy & Lisa's Mother Of Pearl. Back then it was rumored that she had a mad crush on Wendy - Constant Craving was said to be about Wendy | |

Yes, when she was interviewed about the song and album she said it was inspired by someone she wanted to be with but couldn't because the girl was in a committed relationship. There are pics online of KD and Wendy attending Madonna's film premiere party back in 92/93 time period. | |

Ah ok. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Was that the premiere of A League of Their Own? [Edited 3/1/19 16:58pm] | |

Have you all heard KD Lang sing Hallelulah?? It is beyond...I think it is the best rendition. I know we are off topic, had to say it.
Really love Roy Orbison too. [Edited 3/1/19 18:37pm] | |

HA!! Yes, I think all genders and sexualities had a major crush on Wendy!! She stated in the 2009 Out interview that straight girls would tell her she and Lisa were the only lesbians they would have f**cked * They were/are lovely badasses | |

[Edited 3/1/19 16:58pm] No, they went to Madonna's Truth Or Dare (I think that was the name)- the docu-film covering her concert tour and some personal stuff. It was quite the media spectacle back then because it was very sexually explicit, of course | |

Oh ok. I'd forgotten about Truth Or Dare. | |

Wendy was dressing in more feminine outfits - especially on stage. She and Lisa have stated they felt pressured by their record label to present more of a feminine or "bombshell" image - I guess to appeal more to the mainstream pop audience. * Susannah is in the video for the song Sideshow where she and Wendy are identically dressed and Wendy is looking in a mirror at her reflection but it's Susannah looking back. Almost impossible to tell them apart in that video | |

They really did look nearly identical back then. I thought it was Susannah at first. | |

Yes, I read that she actually wrote the full song for a potential solo album she was planning. Madonna liked the song, changed the lyrics slightly, and gave Susannah only partial writing credit | |

That's Susannah with John Cusack. Were they lovers or friends? | |
