I was recently searching for photos of Donna Summer and I found one from her cover of Rolling Stone Magazine that was a part of a bigger series on Pop Divas. I wanted to share some of these covers with you. They reflect the style of the time and also it shows how some of these musicians style has evolved. And one adage remains true: Sex Sells (or the illusion of it, a youthful figure, firm round breasts, big eyes with long eyelashes, lipstick lips, skin, cleavage, legs etc)
This weekend I was watching The Pointer Sister’s “Fire” on youtube. One of my all time favorite songs, even the version with Bruce Springsteen makes me want to cool down with a tall glass of Mohito.
But seriously, if you’ve never heard the Pointer Sisters’ you’re missing out on one of the legendary and best girl groups of the century. They sang hits such as “Slow Hands” , “Automatic”, “Jump” and “I’m so Excited” the list of feel good songs just goes on and on. They had a staying power that was stronger than Ajax, we can’t even count the amount of times those songs have been re-used in romantic movies.
The Pointer Sister’s were sexy, stylish and had voices that were a little rusty, a whole lot of sweet but most of all, filled with soul and sensuality.
So back to “Fire” it was in that music video I got inspired because one of the sisters was wearing a superman t-shirt and she really looked so sexy, I immediately wanted to replicate it.
*****The Youtube video is a little crappy****
BUT, here it is:
Alice and Olivia teamed up with Payless, to design those killer red booties. You can’t beat that: cutting edge fashion at an affordable price. Are you liking the collaboration and/or the booties?
I know I’m not the only one loving the new look of this Scientology mama, Joey( from Dawson’s Creek) is all grown up! Married to Tom Cruise and mother to baby Suri, she’s killing the Hollywood red carpet scene these days, not to mention the trips to fashion weeks in Paris, Milan and NYC.
Ohh, ohhh, and did you guys see her run that NYC marathon?!? – I have a new found respect for this woman. Young beautiful and always confident in anything she wears. She’s this weeks Style Diva.
