RIP Vanity
#1
Never saw her perform live but Nasty Girl is burned into my brain.  Let's hear it one more time:



Of course, her role in The Last Dragon was indispensable.  On one of those weird research tangents while chasing the Muse, I discovered she was located in Fremont, somewhere very close to our office.  Vanity had nearly killed herself on crack, found Jesus and was born-again, forsaken her stage name reverting to Denise Matthews, and became an evangelical.  She had massive kidney failure and had to do daily dialysis.  Curiosity peaked, I tracked down her ministry address to a P.O. Box just a few miles from our office in a strip mall where I often ate.  But I never ran into her.  Honestly I don't think I would have recognized her if she wasn't wearing lingerie.  

A sad story really.  She had an autobiography, Blame it on Vanity, which I thought about reading for a minute or two.
