wow i don't think i knew about this white set! there's another to add to the excel file lol

somewhere or other i heard a comment someone shared [[i think they referenced it to Jean?) that there...

i thought the outfit cindy is wearing is the ones that were in the gown book - i think bought from Hudson's. had a small jacket with beading and fur cuffs. of course she skipped the jacket.
...

i'm not sure if it was an actual line or if she was just wearing examples of her Simplicty patterns. i don't know that it was all that huge. but given that Dynasty had a line of clothes for women...

and actually by this time many of the DRATS gowns had been significantly redone. not because Susaye was short but because the gowns needed to be adjusted to fit grown women. DMC were in their very...

my guess is that by late 73/early 74 motown figured the group was done. that public interest was gone. the group had a strong start with a top 10 on Ladder and then SL. but NJ and FJ barely got...

Diana also had a line of fashions in the 80s and a line of patterns for people to make their own versions of the clothes.

in 70 when she left the group, she purposely didn't take any of the...

yes it definitely seems like motown in the mid-late 70s was pretty much lost. they had some strong hits now and then. Rick James and the Commodores were new, fresh acts. Diana and Smokey and...

exactly - in another thread [[or maybe on FB) we fans were discussing a pic of Scherrie, mary and Bern Nadette Stanis. I remember on Good Times she had a pic of MJL on her wall in her room. it...

please share - not to be meanspirited or harsh to Freda. but just in the sense of accuracy. at least in terms of the stories with the supremes, since this is a Sup board

Brad - i thought you mentioned that, at least for Susaye but also maybe Scherrie, that the gowns were not "cut" down for Susaye but just hemmed up. some of the fans were crying about how terrible it...

IMO the Campano gowns are nice but it seems he didn't have the experience to understand how some subtle things worked. like the beaded fringe on the first red gowns. those things were so tangled by...

i've not investigated much into Freda's life and story but this does seem to pretty well match up with what i've heard. Randy writes in [[i think) CHMR that Freda was potentially considered for that...

Cindy had a FAR larger bosom than Jean. i'm definitely not a tailer or seamstress but maybe it would be too complex of alterations to increase the bust of a gown whereas you can always take it up in...

Mary mentioned that it was a big chore to clean the gowns. and to also repair them for whatever - maybe a frayed edge, beads popping off, worn spots, etc.

Seems like they would travel with 6-8...

i love Diana's vocal on this track. how she softly whispers/coos "you" at 0:38. "Today i saw somebody who looked just like you..." amazing

while the Stylistics original is great, frankly i think...

both of the solo albums are just so superior to this duets album. of course marvin was producer of LGIO and created this amazing concept. TMITM wasn't really a concept from start to finish, being...

Brad - i thought someone mentioned that these gowns are now in the Smithsonian African Amercian Museum collection as they were designed by Stephen Burrows.

Interestingly Stephen was one of the 5...

Brad - i so wish you and mary had been able to add more info to the gown book. i believe you mentioned many more outfits were photographed and prepared. it's such a wonderful exhibit of these...

oh wow! i never realized the white Andy Williams pantsuits were part of the fire. I thought those were the set that disappeared when sent to the tailor for alterations. mary mentions one set of...

i'm not a lawyer but in the divorce settlement, you're going to review their finances and determine how the assets are divided and also how future assets are divided. for a "normal" person with a...

i believe the short booklet in the re-released cd set of this album mentioned that A&S were tapped to first produce it but only got a few things done prior to leaving the label. maybe having the...

another problem with the duets is timing. You're A Special Part was released in Sept 73. Diana released in Dec 73 and Marvin released Come Get To This in Oct 73. so there's a little bit of...

it's a shame all of this digital technology wasn't available back in the day for fans to scan and upload things like this! yeah i'm sure there are zillions of pics like this that will be lost forever

Brad knows this topic pretty well. and some that have been hypothesize being part of the fire, weren't. here's the list i've sort of thought were lost. but if someone can correct, please do:
...

there are pics of MSC prior to the Mexico fire at various performances. I hadn't heard of them wearing the gold pantsuits [[Raggedy Ann or whatever) but they certainly might have. there are pics of...
