    When my aunt and uncle first got cable TV waaayyyy back in the early 80's, they invited the whole family over to check it out (cable was a big deal back then), and as my aunt flipped through all 20 different channels (which TOTALLY amazed us), when she landed on Showtime, THIS concert is what was playing.
    Needless to say, this brings back some really beautiful memories.

    When I lived in Las Vegas, a woman walked into my office, and I thought she was unbelievably beautiful. If you've heard of the "It" girl, she had "It"! She turned out to be Lola Falana. This was in 1991, so she was still pretty young. She was driving a little red Mercedes coupe. Trust me - videos and photos don't do her justice. She was much more gorgeous in person!

    Lola did what NO other female can do in performing on stage, tv or any other medium. She had CLASS. She did not sacrifice any of that to get people to see her perform. Despite what she did in her numbers that resembled Josephine Baker. Unfortunately, Beyonce, Mariah, J. Lo. and Brittany Spears do not come close. They throw class away to get the tickets sold. Jennifer Lopez comes close, but still lacks class. I wonder if they even know who she is.

      Royal Bohemian Actually it's called the Apana Mudra. It is borrowed from Yoga. Don't give those people power over your mind. They borrowed from many different spiritual systems. The symbol itself is not evil. It's the people behind the scenes that make it into something it was never meant for. Now we know where her paychecks were/are coming from. :D
