She be using them shits for emphasis when she talks and it totally distracts/hypnotizes me. I couldn't stand that show tho.

Timmy84 said:

I think all the kids look like her except for Chudney. You can Diana in all of them to varying degrees. Rhonda especially then Tracee.

I have a question though. Throughout her life, I've seen Diana in different forms of makeup and it always look she was two different people. During the Supremes' rise, light makeup was applied to her dark skin and she wore wigs to give off that "crossover" look, then halfway through her last years with the group, they let her "go natural" so to speak:



This is where she could've possibly look like Rhonda minus the strong Gordy features plus Diana being very skinny.

I think they all favor but the boys look more like them Jacksons.

When it first started and they got rid of the thought bubbles it was cute for a season or so and I don't watch many sitcoms. Then it fell off big time. I bailed out years before they cancelled it. Kinda lame that they didn't even get a series finale.

She uses her eyes like quotations. She doesn't need to use her fingers at all.

Timmy84 said:

I see what you mean here.

JackieBlue said:

That's it EXACTLY. Still

This is probably the picture where you can see Tracee's, Ross' and Evan's lineage:

And in this one, you can definitely see Tracee all over Diana here...

So I guess it depends on how their momma looks at certain points.

She got some skrong genes. Must be the eyes.

Timmy84 said:

That's my fave, the best she ever looked IMO. I have an original Francesco Scavullo print of this in my living room.

SCNDLS said:

Exactly. Diana's sisters have the same eyes.

Timmy84 said:

SCNDLS said:

You know I'm not lying. Back in the Supremes' early years, Diana kept bugging her eyes out to the cameras!

Motown grooming teacher Maxine Powell had to tell her to stop that. Diana complained she was doing it because her brother and his friends kept saying Diana had nice eyes but Maxine set her straight.

Timmy84 said:

i think this one looks alot like Evan. Also the b/w with the Supremes. Check the jaw line. She has some great looks. The photos from the Diana project are among my favorite tho.

JackieBlue said:

She does. This is also the joke that Diana & Michael were the same person. Because MJ was rumored to have changed his looks to look like Diana. That's where some MJ fans joked Evan was MJ's kid.

Timmy84 said:

Po chile.

Timmy84 said:

Yeah, I bet MJ saw Evan and got all jelly. No surgery AND he gets to be up under Diana on the regular. Young and natural.

This is where Evan and Ross get their looks from:

You.ain't.right!

Timmy84 said:

So whatever happened to his money??? Didn't his older kids contest the will or some shit?

SCNDLS said:

You know what's unusual? Diana was one of the few students of Motown's grooming school to actually take Maxine's lessons very seriously. She stopped bugging her eyes all the time after early 1965.

SCNDLS said:

I have no clue. I think it was split between all of his kids.

Here's Tracee's and Chudney's father in the '70s with their mother (in an Afro nonetheless):


(I wonder if Diana wore her Afro offstage during the '70s).

Timmy84 said:

Did you type that with a straight face?

JackieBlue said:

Not really.

I think Diana has great features individually, but together, without careful makeup and lighting, it ain't pretty. She's no Vanity or Halle or Paula Patton

scriptgirl said:

Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson were the finest members of the original Supremes. Especially Mary, there was something very sexy and sensual with Mary. With Flo, she had that sass that matched her features. Diana was the skinny, bony, bug-eyed member in the middle, lol. Berry Gordy and Maxine Powell turned her into something she wasn't and with wardrobe, makeup and great pictures, Diana started to look less like the skinny girl from Detroit's projects.

scriptgirl said:

Shit, neither are they without the right makeup and lighting.

I didn't know Gabe "Mr. Kottttaire" Kaplan was they daddy.
