Vanity was the template for a lot of the female artists that came after

I'm a huge fan of Vanity (RIP) and dare I say, she was the template for many of the other female artists that came after her, and even for some more recent/contemporary ones.

She influenced thru her unique clothing style, sex appeal, lyrics and just overall persona. Janet and Jody Watley (whom I both love) definitely took some cues from Vanity in many aspects of their presentation. As did Madonna, Apollonia, Karyn White, Lisa Lisa to some degree and Beyonce for sure. The more recent artists and their producers/ image makers definitely studied the original divas of the past to get inspiration and such. So it would be no surprise they emulated the godess, Vanity.

Who else agrees? Anyone want to discuss some of these specific instances in which you see Vanity's influence on another future artist that came after.

Ironically I just got finished watching a video on YouTube that claims they’ve seen Vanity’s secret diary. Apparently Vanity backed out on plans to release a tell all book about her life and boy was it a doozy. Is it real? What I do know is the earth will shake if it ever gets released. Search Vanities diaries on youtube if interested.
