In my local Alibi entertainment newspaper, we had an article about music singer Tiffany. Half of this article talked about Full House. It was from about two weeks ago, but I kept forgetting to post it. Here's the entire article:
"Children, Behave!"
'80s Pop Star Tiffany Performs at Pridefest
Week of June 8-14, 2006
by Jessica Cassyle Carr
In the late 80s, I religiously watched ABC's TGIF, a block of four situational comedies (in 1988 it was Perfect Strangers, Full House, Mr. Belvedeere, and Just the Ten of Us) appealing, and enjoyed the the foreigner humor of Perfect Strangers, and Mr. Belvedeere, Full House was the favorite --with its relatable characters, it was probably every 8-year-old's favorite.
An early episode titled "Joey Gets Tough" had the daughters convincing Uncle Joey to let them stay up and watch a special TV appearance by Tiffany. There was laughter and young-girl excitement., as well as hair products and dancing. I think they got in trouble (probably when "Joey gets tough," as the name suggests), and along the way, learned a valuable lesson. But I just remember wanting to find out more Tiffany. How perfectly that show and the pop singer complemented one another; it was probably, for many girls, their introduction to Tiffany.
These days, nearly 20 years after her rise to fame as a teen pop star and subsequent decline after a third, poorly-selling album, the "I Think We're Alone Now," "Could've Been" and "I Saw Him Standing There" platinum hitmaker is touring and working in television as a VH1 host and the like. She also made a 2002 appearance in Playboy, which was the one and only time I, and many other then-grown girls, ever got excited about an appearance on Playboy.
Tiffany has released a handful of albums since her ill-fated third in 1990. Just this year, she released an album of dance anthems aimed a the gay community, which is admittedly better than any of her sugary, over-produced hits from the 80s. Dust Off and Dance aptly accomplishes its goal: Just listening to it transports me to a boy's club-like atmosphere where I imagined myself sweating in something sassy and shaking my ass. Subsequently, she will be staging a concert at Pridefest, which to me, sounds like the best possible situation in whcih to see a Tiffany performance.
Also performing at Pridefest is 70s UK soul singer Maxine Nightengale, responsible for hits like "Right Back Where We Started From" and "Lead Me On."
