first
Didn't she end up destroying herself with all the coke and shit she used to do? Yea I thought she went all Jesusy too.
I also heard that Prince wanted to name her 'Vagina'. Fuck, why'd she refuse that one?
Ohmygoddess! What a great trip down memory lane! I used to love Vanity 6!
And of course Nasty Girl is my fave. 
Sheila E., Vanity and Apollonia all ROCKED in their day! Morris Day & The Time were great too.
I still have all their record albums, on vinyl that is. You know, those large black round things from back in the 20th century? (yes i'm as old as the hills)
For the love of God I LOVE this song. But I always wondered if she was talking about a cum shot.
What with the he made a pretty mess on myt dress thing 
I take it back I forgot were he "pops" his cork all over her. Guess I got my anserw.
She was engaged to Nikki sixx of Motley Crue for awhile too.
They should do a montage of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky shots to this song!
MK you're a closet Minneapolis funkster.
God, I LOVED Morris Day and the Time!
JESSIE! NOW JEROME! Oh I need to hear some JUNGLE LOVE right now!
GO YANKEES 
I worked with her on pick up shots for The Last Dragon, a 80's Berry Gordy flick she starred in. Kinda fun movie, in a cheese-tastic way, but she was as smart as a box of rocks. btw, she was driving a red corvette with the "vanity" plate "lilredvette" or some shit like that. sanctimonious wanna-be diva and laaaaaaaaame.
"Last Dragon"----best.80's movie.evah.
SHO-NUFF!!!! BRUCE LEROY!!!! EDDIE ARCADIAN!!!! DADDY GREEN'S PIZZA!!!! This flick had it all! Thanks for the memories, "?@praxisfilmworks"!!!!
excellent stuff, though actually this is her solo "work." After Vanity 6.
I was always more of an Appalonia fan.
She's a Minister now I think. "If A Girl Answers" has to be the best Vanity6 song.
I was disappointed when she posed in Playboy later on. It ruined her sweet wholesome image for me.
After playboy though Vanity found Christ. I read in Ebony a few years back that she has devoted her life to the Lord and she is now a born again Christian.
Wasn't this song from after she left Vanity 6, Prince and was the highest paid artist at Motown?
I can't believe I saved space in my brain for that useless bit of information.
She was gorgeous, though
Quite possibly some of the worst music ever recorded.
Gorgeous but could not sing at all (and this video is pretty bad). Apollonia was worse, though.
My brother used to like the Nasty Girl video better than this one.
Her singing was only rivaled by her acting (Action Jackson anyone). That's even worse than the video (if that's possible)
Pretty Mess was NOT by Vanity 6, just Vanity and Prince had nothing to do with this hideous record. Get your facts sorted.
She was as flat as a board. But I guess tits weren't in , back in the 80s, eh?
im glad i dont remember some of this stuff cause it sucks and i dont feel so old.
What is a born again christian?
Beyonce looks like her.
I like Nasty girls mk do you have that video.
my god, i used to love this woman, i loved her as vanity...
now she's lost her mind
sad
yeah but she really looks like a tranny-
haha that hairdo. great find, MK.
The Last Dragon!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME 80's MOVIE!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, Vanity was GORGEOUS!!!!!
Denise Matthews (her real name)is a minister now-this is her website :

This made me laugh really hard. Horrible production, vocals like nails on a chalk board and the outfits, ohhh wow those outfits.
Thanks for the flashback...love it
Nasty Girl | 05.27.06 - 2:41 pm |
i remember those black round things that had music on them too...you're not alone....
vanity (denise) has found the lord and i heard she was married to some huge football player...
i can't believe i used to think this was a hot look...
I'm trying to remember some of those other hot girls and bands from back in the 80s that've disappeared. Can't get more than Vanity, Apollonia, Sheila E, Morris Day, Pebbles, Patrice Rushen, Al B Sure...
Who were the other ones? All the one or two hit wonders who were pretty good?
Hot song, but why is she making out with Bonnie Tyler?
lmAo @ ChristopherM. Bonnie Tyler, HA!
meh! she's got nothing on Apollonia
She has to be the most beautifil woman I have ever seen, back in her day. Beyonce wishes she was as pretty. This woman was flawless!
Most beautiful woman ever!
If only she had talent to go with it.
Provocative video.
Anybody else look through her website? Good for her if she got religion I guess but wow the girl don't come across as very bright! My favorite part is the bio where she talks about being at death's door and Jesus saving her at the last minute with his "long extending love". Guess you can take the girl outta the softcore business, but...
Remember the video where she humped the champagne bottle until it popped? What song was that for? I remember her saying she was totally coked out on that shit.
Hey Belle, don't forget Teena Marie -- "Squaaare Biz!"
And what about the Mary Jane Girls? Didn't Rick James put them together? The only thing I remember is them bumping and grinding in that crazy video, "In My House." This was way back in 84/85, I think.
What the heck happened to them? Poor Rick ended up a mess.
that's some big-ass hair and i'm not talking about her.
Oh how delicious! Thank you! Love me some Vanity!
If you are totally bored, you should watch her speak in tongues on her egangelist website: www.denisematthews.com
she was a pretty mess. Coke and all sorts of bad drugs messed her shit WAY up. She's on dialysis, partially deaf and nearly died because of it.
She's doing okay now.
Nasty Girl!!
Please, does anyone know where to get an mp3 of this song or "Nasty Girl"?
hot lesbian action in that video!
Monica Lewinsky must have have creamed her panties singing this song and thinking about Bill!!!
Interesting that Prince is a Born Again Christian today also and won't play some of his old music (the really,really good stuff, by the way) because he is no longer a part of that old lifestyle.
"Last Dragon"----best.80's movie.evah.
SHO-NUFF!!!! BRUCE LEROY!!!! EDDIE ARCADIAN!!!! DADDY GREEN'S PIZZA!!!! This flick had it all! Thanks for the memories, "?@praxisfilmworks"!!!!

Patrice Rushen is of a higher caliber than the rest. She is a top producer, and she came into the business because of training in classical music. Patrice was trained by Quincy Jones, and she was the first female to conduct the orchestra for the Academy Awards/Grammy (from what I read). I really miss them all!!! Nasty girl was the s*it!!!
"If A Girl Answers (Don't Hang Up)"
Vanity: Brenda how we gonna get to the party?
Brenda: Call up Jimmy. He's got a car.
V: And what if a girl answers?
B: Hang up
V: Hang up nothin' Jimmy said I was his girl
B: Honey dont you know everyones Jimmy's girl
V: Brenda I know better then anybody
B: Well if a girl answers dont hang up just talk about it
V: Hello - this is Vanity is Jimmy home?
GettoGirl: Yes but he's taking a shower
V: Oh I see; did he just take out the trash?
GG: No that was something he use to do, now he's taking out me
V: Oh I see, well tell him he left his pants over here last night...
GG: That's ok you keepem', he wont be needing em' tonight!
V: Oh whats the matter, is he going swimming?
GG: Why no, we was gonna go, but he said he did that last night!!
V: Well sugar I know about a great party, why dont you bring us your car
GG: So sorry baby, I never go to singles bars!
V: Single?! Is that what you think? Tramp, I'm taking your dad!
GG: Oh he died about 7 years back - now a'int that just to bad!
V: Well thats how we like them, tall stiff and ready. That's positively more than I can say for dead Jimmy
GG: That's because he was swallowing vitamin E, now he's swallowing me!
V: Oh you mean you were swallowing him, why dont you just tie a mattress to your back
GG: I'm gonna need it, cause if I ever see your face I'm gonna fall and have a heart attack!
V: All that's gonna fall is the wig off your head..now what ya think about that?!
GG: I think I'd rather wear a wig then run a motel for roaches, ants and lice, dogs and cats in my hat!
BRENDA:
Hey that's gone to far here give me the phone
Hey tramp take a bath and puke.
Whats more you can kiss where the sun dont shine, if that dont work we can duke.
You see the only kind of man that would play with you is one that plays with himself
None of my friends can stand the sight of you, much less the smell.
If I wasn't a lady I'D take my money and buy you a brand new face
then take my underwear and stick in your mouth and you'd love it
cause you got no taste.
And if that dont work call back your dead daddy and show him what you look like now
Honey I bet he'd never come back cause you one ugly cow.
Girl you tell your boyfriend Jimmy he can go get hit by a car
cause as far as I can see he cant afford to buy the beat of this star
Vanity 6 (in unison) There's two things we cant stand
One's a jive-talk man
The other's a jive-talk man with no money
Can you dig it?

sorry for the typos - got this from another source and couldn't wait to post.
