I dont know what I expected when I clicked on this thread. But it didn't disappoint. The instant I read your post, my infatuation with Shania twain when I was like 6 years old came flooding back to me. Thanks for the memory.

A few years later, the liner of my Deena Carter CD held my interest. I was too young to fully understand "did I shave my legs for this," but old enough to understand why I kept staring at her pictures. I looked at the pictures on Google just now. Definitely some solid 90s trashy/hot vibe going on.

Kate Bush is fat and Raffaella Carra is dead.

I was having a hard time remembering, then came up with Sally Field. Yes, the movie in my username came out in '77, but my family didn't go to the movies when I was a kid. I didn't watch it until it was on TV in the '80s. She looks pretty good, much younger looking than her 75 (23 years older than me).

Kate Jackson

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Rebecca Gayheart

Alyssa Milano, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alicia Silverstone, Debbie Gibson

Sade. Smooth Operator. Damn! Probably still good. Bonnie Raitt.

Linda Hamilton

Patty Smyth

Linda Hamilton is looking rough for her age. Patty Smyth is still unbelievably hot in her 60s.

Nice, Carter has indeed held up well. I just remembered my main one from movies, Tia Carrere. Still looking great for a Hawaiian babe:

I also had a thing for some of the ESPN fitness honeys, like Denise Austin and Kiana Tom.

The late and perhaps underrated Laura Branigan. perhaps her most well-known, but certainly not her best work:

Nena - much more than 99 Luftballons, and still in the light:

Olivia Newton-John - most certainly a muse of the time:

Debbie Gibson - She's still shaking it, if only in your dreams:
