So here's a bit of superficial fun. I confess I enjoy these fashion-through-the-decade videos that have been popping up on youtube lately. These two, from Vanity Fair, feature the pop stars to represent each decade for the past 100 years, using black and white models.
What do you think, and how would you have chosen differently?
Of the two, I prefer the male video. It's too bad they couldn't have somehow included John Lennon and Nat King Cole.
As for the female video, I think the 60s should be Diana Ross, as her biggest hits with the Supremes were from that decade. I never really cared that much for Janis Joplin anyway. The 70s should be Debbie Harry. For the 90s, I would have chosen Tori Amos, Whitney Houston or Bjork. Britney Spears has no business representing the 90s since she only started out during the very end of the decade, and even then was only popular with preteen Millennials. She could represent the 2000s, I guess, but I think Beyonce is the better choice.
