To me, Dre looked 10 times better than he later looked. Average, down to earth, and ordinary are turnoffs to me, I love over the top. Stars need to start looking like stars again.

It wasn't just black artists, a lot of people were rocking the androgyny back then.
Maybe I'm stuck in a time-warp, but I find androgynous people of both sexes more attractive than hyper feminine women or hyper masculine men. (How can I possibly be nostalgic for a time when I existed wearing diapers...? A good question, indeed.) I saw this beautiful Asian person in the mall the other day. I had no idea if they were male or female, and really, I didn't care. Hot is hot.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I think it was in '85 like when all that androgynous shit was goin' on and what was wild was that the guy that look the most like a bitch was gettin' all the women. If you wearin' baggy shit now and you acking hard, if you from L.A., you mfs was wearin' some, some strange shit. Prince had on like a, it was like a Zorro type outfit. Had the ruffles that come down in front. He had the big perm fluffed out and all that. His mustache looked like it was drawn on his face. And it looked like something that a figure skater would wear. And Mikki Free was like the new cat in Shalamar that when he joined the group, I heard mad cats was like, "Yo man Shalamar got a new, new girl in there man, that bitch fine like a mf! tA  Tribal Disorder
