Eddie wearing Thierry Mugler happened because I was pitching a science fiction movie to Eddie and I used a lot of Thierry Mugler photos of his clothes as part of the pitch. That movie didn't happen, but then Eddie hired me to direct Boomerang and said he wanted to wear Mugler in that fim. I loved it because it showed you could be a Black professional and not a cornball.
Imagine my shock when I opened this tweet and saw what the discourse was about. I have never ever heard this take before. This has to be colorism there just isn’t any other explanation as to why you would think Buffy was ever ugly like are you crazy?💀 THIS BUFFY? UGLY?!
OK.
@MelanieBlakeUK@GHovhanesian To add context, she was then married to a man who had mob ties that manipulated her into posing nude for Playboy, Writing a tell all, and he was physically abusive. Her Starting Over album is all about that time…
