From Chrissy Ozioma

A great version and you really get to see Janet Jackson's versatility in her music adding classic rock to her rhythm and blues sound. Black Cat really is a classic rock if not hard rock sound that is performed by a rhythm and blues band. But where you also get Janet's performance and dance team.

You generally don't see classic rock and hard rock bands with dancers and with vocalist dancing around on the stage and doing rehearsed dances. It's generally a lead vocalist singing on stage and moving around to some extent and moving with their bandmates, but you generally don't see them dancing around together.

Blues rock is where you mix in classic rock like say something from Aerosmith and mix that in with rhythm and blues. Like something from Janet Jackson. (To use as an example) The Dave Matthews band does that, Bruce Springsteen does this, Eric Clapton does this, Elvis Presley did that, Jim Morrison and The Doors did that combination. But with Black Cat you get a classic or hard rock song and sound played by r&b band with an r&B singer. And they did a great job with that.

“How to Pick Denim – Women’s Fashion Guide as part of the Women’s Style series by GeoBeats.”

When shopping for denim, the number one place you want to look is the back. Most people look at the front, we look at the side, make sure nothing is hanging out, but we are not spending a lot of time back here. This is where you need to look.

So make sure you have got a three-way mirror and you have got a good view of what is going on back here. This is a classic five pocket jean, which means you have got the two pockets on the front plus a coin pocket on the right side and then your two pockets back here. You want to make sure the pocket size is no, just a little bit smaller or maybe a little bit bigger, about the size of your hand, not grossly out of proportion from this.

Because, the pocket size, if it is a tiny little pocket and you have got some junk in the trunk, your butt is going to look that much bigger. If it is this huge pocket and you are very small back here or very flat, it is just going to make it look worse, and you have pound cake butt. So what we want to make sure we are doing with the pocket placement, if they are too high, any volume sitting down here is going to feel like you have got that saggy mom butt. If they are too far down here, it is going to look like your butt is coming out the middle of your back. Same thing with the sides. The more these pockets move out this direction, the larger this proportion becomes, and that is going to give you more volume. That can be good and that can be bad. Contrastly, pockets that are too far in, we start to get a larger a volume of space over here, and we do not want to look too hippy.

So, on Adrianne here, we have got good pocket placement. We want it to be just about right here where it is cupping the bottom of your butt, where really starting to give some definition. And you want to make sure we have a little bit of this inverted heart shape right here. Not so tight that it looks like your butt is eating your pants, but we want to still see some shape. If I can grab fabric here without even pulling, they are too big. So you want to make sure you have always got this. So as long as you can keep these things in mind, inverted heart shape, pocket size and pocket placement, you are going to be successful in your denim shopping, every time.”

They picked the right if not perfect woman for this video. A tall, curvy, woman, who is very pretty, but the fact that she's tall and curvy for what they're talking about here is more important. 

If there's a group of women (regardless of ethnicity or race) that has the hardest time finding the right jeans for them, it would be curvy women and probably especially tall curvy women. And I'm not talking about fat or obese women, but big-bone, strong women, who wear a larger size than the average woman, obviously and because of that have a harder time finding clothes that look good on them, but also fit. And perhaps jeans whether they're denim like in this case, or leather jeans which are less common (at least in America) are the hardest pants for attractive women to find for themselves that again look good and highlight their curves. 

One of the main, if not main reason for tight jeans, (denim or leather) is for women to showcase their legs and butts and if you're an attractive, well-built curvy woman, you're going to want good jeans. Jeans that fit and showcase your curves.

"JANET JACKSON -WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY (LIVE AND RARE) JJ LIVE IN DC DOING HER THANG IN 1990!" 

From Janet Man

"What have you done for me lately?" Another way of saying what have you done for me, period. Where have you been. It's one of those things that people say when someone who isn't very close with them suddenly appears out of nowhere and asks for help. And someone might say: "Why should I even care and help you, where were you when I needed you, what have you done for me lately?" 

Janet Jackson is a very good communicator and app at using her music to communicate a broader message. Her 1989-90 album Rhythm Nation was about race relations in America and is a perfect example of that. 

This is not one of my favorite songs, but it's a great song in the sense that the message is clear. And is about someone perhaps in Janet's life who perhaps hasn't been there for her lately and perhaps that person was once close with her and what's she saying in this song about that person is essentially where have you been. And "What Have You Done For Me Lately" I believe is her way of delivering that message.

Jim Morrison & The Doors: Live at The Hollywood Bowl (1968)

I’ve seen this concert several times and I’m no music expert, but I am a pretty big fan of The Doors especially Jim Morrison and I disagree with the critics about this concert at least to this degree. I don’t believe Morrison was as off as the critics believe he was. I think he did a great job with the vocals and how he entertained the audience in general especially the women. With how he danced and moved around and played around with his leather jeans.

If you watch the PBS film from 2010 about The Lizard King there is this line in it about how Morrison picked out his clothes. That his skin-tight leather pants which were leather jeans and concho belt were about showing off and showcasing his crotch. And you see him messing around with his pants all through the concert and the camera zooming in on his crotch, butt and legs in those skin-tight jeans throughout the concert.

Not the best Doors concert and not Morrison at his best. But it was classic Lizard King on the vocals dancing around and showing himself off. And a great chance to see Jim Morrison and The Doors live and in color and I just wish there were more opportunities for that. Especially since they were big in the late 1960s when color TV and movies were very common if not expected by then. It would’ve been nice had they filmed more of their concerts in color.

A great sexy performer, who can sing and dance and an absolute pleasure to watch perform. Whether you're a fan of Janet Jackson or not and I like some of her songs and not a fan of others, she always gives you more than your moneys worth in concert and when she performs. I could watch her dance and perform with the sound down or being there live but death and still enjoy her performance. She's a great dancer and always has great energy and I believe is perhaps at least the best performer when it comes to both dancing and singing at the same time. She has a great ability to sing while in rhythm and what I mean by that is she sings while she's in motion and I believe brings more to what she's saying with her movement. You can't hope but to check her out when she's singing because she moves so well and is so great to look at. A beautiful baby-face woman with a great body and great style and you can't help but check her out when she's performing. Assuming you're attracted to women anyway. And to sing her sing a song that I really like, like Black Cat or Love Will Never Do, just makes her that much better for me.

Jim Morrison and The Doors, also performed in Toronto, Ontario in 1967. So I guess they were popular at least in the part of Canada. That performance really looked like a hippie fest with the hall being filled with hippie chicks, with very young woman dancing in cages just above The Doors. Jim Morrison didn't consider himself a hippie and I don't know if other members of The Doors did either, but they were certainly part of that generation and were part of the times. Break on Through is a classic, classic rock song. And certainly part of the 1960s and represented that decade so well as an anti-establishment decade with so many young adults in America looking for an alternative lifestyle from which they were raised in the 1950s and 1960s. Jim Morrison and The Doors, (at least as I call them) were not a hippie band, but they certainly were an anti-establishment band and a band that represented this decade so well and wanting to deliver a message and lifestyle that simply seemed foreign to most Americans who either remember World War II as kids, or were part of that generation that served.

The Late Show With David Letterman: Joan Jett (1987)

"Continued on part 2.  January 1987"

From The Late Show With David Letterman

Joan Jett to me is the rocker chick of rocker chicks. The Queen of Rock & Roll at least when it comes to rocker chicks. You could argue that other female rockers have better music like Sheryl Crow, Tina Turner certainly and perhaps a few others. But I don't believe anyone represents the hard-core bad ass rocker chick better than Joan Jett.

Joan has the attitude, the style, the music, she always looks great. She's the Jim Morrison of female rockers when it comes to wearing leather everywhere especially with the leather jeans and jackets and not justing wearing those jackets and pants all the time, but like The Lizard Jim Morrison looking great in that outfit all the time. Joan is a pure rocker and Jim Morrison mixed in western wear with his cowboy boots and concho belts with his leather jeans and jackets. But as far as wearing this look no male rocker has ever looked better in a leather suit than Jim Morrison and at least as far as a woman who wears leather all the time both the jeans and jackets, no one carries that look better than Joan Jett.

You could argue that Melissa Etheridge, Meredith Brooks and perhaps a few other rocker chicks look better in leather jeans than Joan Jett. But as far as the whole hard-core bad ass rocker chick style no one does it better than Joan Jett.
