Fashion in the 80's? I was looking at that clip and picking out the dresses someone is going to wear to the Golden Globes tomorrow.

Brenda Dickson is like a John Waters movie for reals.

During the day I usually never use it.

I never usually use it, myself.

I love how in the bit about makeup she says "I start with a clean face" yet has on tons of eye makeup.

And for anyone who's curious, Brenda's apparently "back" in Hollywood although not actually working, and she's blond now. Check out her website for one of the gaudiest Christmas trees ever.

OMG. Is that Jill from the Young and the Restless?? Does anyone know why there would be an E! True Hollywood Story on her? Or was it part of a bigger show on soap stars? I haven't watched Y&R in years but I used to love watching Jill vs. Kay Chancellor - their fights were awesome.

ETA: Good God, how many pairs of red boots does someone need??

Can't. Stop. Laughing. This has got to be the campiest thing I've ever seen.

Brenda Dickson "Welcome To My Home".

Part Two.

As if the clothes weren't good enough, the voiceover! That thing is filled with unintentionally hilarious quotes.

"Leather is always great. I wear a lot of it."
"Suede and leather can also be very dressy. You can dress up a look by adding a dressy accessory."
"The puffed sleeves on this dress made it particularly interesting." (Not really.)

I watched to the end, and was unsurprised by the credits: "Written and Directed by Brenda Dickson"

And don't forget "Produced by." Those video clips were hilarious. Does anyone know what year that came out? I looked but couldn't find anything. I'm really hoping it wasn't recently!

I thought I saw 1987 at the very beginning of the first one.

"Lace has been around for thousands of years."

"I think the key to style and fashion is looking at a lot of different styles and designs until you find something you feel most comfortable with, and then you go on from there."

Classique.
