This video set me off… looking for a leather coat just like it for at least a year. Possibly two.  I was fresh out of college when this came out and the second I saw the coat Whitney was wearing in this video it became an obsession.  I had never had the slightest interest in any clothing of the leather variety, thinking it involved spiked and tattooed people, being, as I was, from a good Catholic home in the suburbs.  I also became obsessed over having such a flat stomach and narrow hips, but, alas, that was not to happen.  Well, I had the flat stomach (boy that was a a long time ago!) but no straight highway to the left and right.  I’m a curvy girl.  Depending upon certain conditions, that can be a good thing.  At 46, after three children (including a set of twins) I fear those conditions will not be met again anytime soon ;)

Anyway – It’s a bitchin’ good song.  Still love it all these years later… and I’m still without the coat (It’s the one she wears with the jeans, not the one with the little flouncy back.) I remember I ended up with a stack of fitted white t shirts and well-fitted faded blue jeans, though.  So, I guess there was that, at least.

Enjoy.
