Interesting but long and true story....to make it short, I sat and rode in that Ferrari just after he bought it.  Very nice ride, I was a kid at the time.

the Whitesnake video where Tawny Kitean's tit pops out of the green dress she's wearing...where's she's leaning out of the passenger window in the tunnel.  

I had to tape it to prove it was there...then they edited the video.  Unfortunately, I've subsequently lost the video....but I've got my memories.  (well, for a little while longer anyways )

wait - I thought they were the same person?





Nope. 70s porn star (American brunette) and 80s pop singer (British blond). Although Samantha the pop singer was a Page 3 Girl (topless model) in the UK that is hardly porn and it is about the same as regular cheesecake (non nudity) modeling in the US given the different standards of public nudity.

Yes, Foxx with two Xs. I guess it was supposed to make her sound extra sexxy.

One of the only pop stars you could see naked while at the peak of her fame. I thought I heard a while back that the annoying Tiffany girl (she sang a remake of "I think we're alone now") posed for Playboy.
