The very last pic reminds me of Lisa Bonet.

Never mind the muppet. Look at that Whitney pic on top. Man, that brings back some memories. Facially, Whitney was definitely one of the most beautiful starlets ever.

There are some really gorgeous colour shots of her.

There is also a 2-page poster of Luther Vandross in a purple sequinned sweater wearing mascara and eyeliner.

Wow, I was 8 yrs old when was here in my hometown tearing it up back then. It doesn't seem that long ago but yet it was. Funny How Times Flies (When Your Having Fun).

I remember my Mom buying me Black Beat and Right On magazine all the time and at that time Janet, along with Prince and MJ, was on the cover and all in the magazines all the time. Those were the good old days and boy do I miss them.

My friend just asked me if Jody was on Soul Train the other day. He taped it and we watched it and it was she and Jeffery Daniels bopping up and down on that episode with BT Express. I miss the old days.

OMG I was there. It wasn't really a concert, she was the guest at an Ice Capades show, She went on last and sang(lip synced) Control and Nasty. I remember it was a blizzard that day.

I thought it was the circus because I don't think I'd ever seen the Ice Capades. I think I had one of those little flash lights that people like to swing around. Didn't she do What Have You Done for Me Lately? too? You were 8 and you remember all that?

It wasn't the circus, it was Ice Capades. I remember my mom calling me crazy for going out in the snow to NYC to see Janet do 3 songs. As a matter a fact, I think the show was sponcered by 98.7 kissfm.

So I'm thinking she must have done 2 performances: one after the Ice Capades and one after the circus.

I never knew that. I thought it was her only performance (at least in NYC) at that time. Either way, pretty interesting to see how far she's come from a simple shoulder shimmy to a performing icon.
