[...] When I decided to give tribute to a series of beautifully aging bellas, I thought long and hard about who influenced my style the most. Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, Tina Turner, and Chaka Khan all provided inspiring images of strong black womanhood, but none of them could have had a bigger impact than my mother. [...]

I’ve been lurking here for a while, but this post brought me out. Your comment about her searching for what’s next in the 70s is spot on! Great site!

Bella…we have WAYYY too much in common. First of all, I am a Savage Love Stan! When I saw DTMFA in your post, I damn near fell out of my chair! Secondly, Tina is the absolute truth! She is aging wonderfully and is an inspiration to women young and old. And last but not least…David Bowie..I heart that man so much that I had a purse made out of one of my favorite Bowie albums. The Thin White Duke is too sexy for words.

Yes, that is the David Bowie I lusted for–the suave Euroman in a suit, the blue eyed soul . . . let me get a grip

I absoulutly love your site. Tina is my idol. Sometimes I put on proud mary and do my best Tina impression infront of the mirror in the privacy of my own room. She really is the truth. Damn David Bowie!! Love him as the Goblin King. He is too damn delicious. I have the Labyrith in my movie collection right now!!

I worked with Patrick. What a small world! I was complaining about my hair to a friend of mine who still works with him and she told me about your site and that Patrck is your brother. So I told her, “Girl, I find that site LONG time. I ALWAYS on that site.” I can’t imagine having three brothers though. That sounds like plenty “accidental” hair removal and “not on purpose” falling down stairs.

P.S. YES to all the Bowie comments.

Hi HottieHottie! OMG, you worked with my brother? Which one? I’m the last of five and I have three brothers. Write back and let me know! And yes, David Bowie is yummy with a spoon. He’s aging pretty well, too. Mmmmmm.

P.S.S. Man oh man! David Bowie. And Tina. Sex in heels and tails. I would have been diving behind him on stage too :@)
