Happy Friday!!
I just so happen to watch Fox 5 news this morning and the legendary Jody Watley was being interviewed. My mother called me to watch this because she knows I'm a huge fan of Ms. Watley. I started thinking about how Jody Watley is such an fashion icon and how her style remains relevant today as many artist are influenced by her.
Jody Waltey is 6'0 tall and she wears it well. What a beautiful pic of her.Its very etheral even.
Some of you may not know but Jody Watley began her career as a professional dancer and landed a spot in the t.v show Soul Train. From there she was chosen to be apart of a new r&b group called Shalamar. You guys they were big!! My mom and first cousins would blast hits like For the Lover In You, which is personally my favorite. From there Watley decide to go solo and reinvented her image. She was know as the black madonna because of her racy leather corsets combined with tulle skirts and jeans, big leather jackets and bold hair accessories. Watley was also know for rocking black eyeliner and serious cat eyes with red lipstick. She managed to mix high fashion with urban influence. Watch some of her old videos to get an idea of how Watley made her own fashion statement that helped to define the 80s and 90s. Have a great weekend!
