STOP MAKING SENSE, David Byrne, 1984
Music Fashionistas
No one would call the Talking Heads frontman a slave to fashion, yet there's one outfit that has cemented his membership in rock's first family of style: the Big Suit. David Byrne had the suit designed for the band's 1984 revolutionary concert film, "Stop Making Sense." Byrne wears it for the song "Girlfriend Is Better," looking as if he may drown inside of it. The suit (and choreography) was inspired by Japanese musical drama called Noh. No word if the suit caused a Japanese big suit craze.

She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Well, I have found out that she is well and is still a hottie at 61. My God The Woman Looks Good! Her and Andie MacDowell have that Hair, that beautiful frizzy wonderful Hair! Go Girl"
judykk334 said " I found a great dating site________ W e a l t h y O n l y. c o m ________. The best dating club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties. What's the most important is that you don't have to be a millionaire, but you can meet one. BTW, Charlie Sheen found his true love on that site in 2007."

Let's see how anyone of us will look at 50. I know she had access to a trainer and has done botox but how many celebs and rich people have done the same and they look "not so good."
