Sometimes I watched MTV. I remember most of the videos being by black artists. I loved “Creep” & “Red light special” by TLC. I wanted to be like Left Eye. Actually I wanted to be black. I would have my mom do all my hair in little braids & sometimes wear sweatpants of hers to school bc they were baggy. & I watched lots of shows with only black casts like The Cosby Show, Hangin' with Mr Cooper, Martin, Moesha, Family Matters, etc. This one time I went to summer camp & there was a girl who totally looked like Left Eye. Then again, Left Eye looked like a little kid, which is probably part of what I liked about her. @ school I remember it was hip to like Boyz II Men, Ace of Base & Green Day. As for “Time of my life”, I have the distinct memory of hearing it on the yellow bus in the morning.
A year after moving to Argentina, I went back to DC for a visit & bought the CrazySexyCool album by TLC. I also wanted to get Coolio’s “Gangsta’s paradise” & had to talk my mom into allowing this given that it had the Parental Advisory sticker on it. She eventually complied. My fav songs were “Too hot” & the one that goes “1, 2, 3, 4 get that booty on tha floor gotta gotta get up to get down”.
HBIC (head bitch in command) Miss Left-Eye as a gambling pimp in the Red Light Special video.
