“For me, Aaliyah represented the future. In this and other ways, she reminds me of Selena. Both women were veteran entertainers who were just about to break into the mainstream when their lives were cut tragically short, at 22 and 23 respectively. They continue to influence artists and develop fan bases across generations and borders. They also seemed to have a lot of self-respect. Both women were sexy, but refused to be degraded or turned into objects. They seemed in control of their sexuality. They knew girls were watching them, and they also knew to save some of themselves from the public eye. Like Janet Jackson before them and Beyoncé after, they made self-possession sexy.”

Blast from the past - Over 1 year ago...
We celebrated, or mourned, the end of the LOST TV show with this mega-post jam packed with posters, illustrations, video and tshirt designs.
I am still waiting for a tv show as epic as LOST to come around again! In the mean time, reminiscing will have to do.
