Back in the 1980s, back when "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" infected the national consciousness like an earwig, people kinda took themselves and their accessories too seriously. Just like they do now.
Former "The Young & the Restless" actress Brenda Dickson apparently felt that she had elevated personal style to the level of professional life guru. And she had some videotape laying around, so she decided to share all that she had learned. Which wasn't much. But she had great clothes, big hair, enough makeup for 1,000 Jersey strippers and a self-portrait over the living room couch that's bigger than the one of Mao in Tiananmen Square. So why not?
Enjoy these clips. Follow her advice and you too can live a life that's a mile wide and a quarter-inch deep:
"The shoes are classic. You can wear them with almost anything. Notice the slit?"
"Let's go into my bedroom ... where I keep my exercise equipment, and talk about ... exercise."
UPDATE: That was Brenda 20 years ago. This is Brenda Dickson-Weinberg today. And this is what her career used to be.
