I'm sorry, Miss Jackson

So in the midst of all the excitement surrounding the death of Michael Jackson, I got to thinking about Janet. Sure Michael was the bigger star - he had the bigger hits, the weirder foibles, and the most controversy, but Janet has had her share (wardrobe malfunctions, mystery illnesses, failed relationships, wild speculation about her weight gain/loss) but somehow manages to hold it together despite also having those strangely cursed Jackson genes...


I always adored the tough, 80's style feminist Janet, all big shoulders, nasty "No my first name ain't baby, it's Janet"; General Janet, leader of Rhythm Nation; and the power dressing independent woman with a vulnerable side, in "I Get Lonely"




But for most of the 1990's Janet's 'style' involved her being more or less topless, most of the time. A shame because she had some beautiful clothes when she got round to wearing them. I love this outfit!

Anyway I don't care what really happened at the Superbowl - I love you Janet x
