TLC ruled the 90s, and still hold the spot as highest-selling girl group of all time (in the US). Their hits Unpretty and No Scrubs still fill us with teenage nostalgia. When Lisa ‘Left-Eye’ Lopes died in 2002, TLC fans around the world morned as if it was a personal tragedy.
Today, Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins and Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas are calling their fans back into action. The two of them have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their fifth and final album, offering a host of rewards in exchange; everything from a handwritten list of their top 15 favourite songs of all time to a movie date with one of them.
Chilli and T-Boz stated that “We are recording our last and final album and we want to do it with YOU, our FANS”.
At Twin we believe our olders and betters have a lot to teach us, so we love Ari Seth Coen’s blog Advanced Style, a trove of inspiration brought to us by ladies of a certain age who don’t just colour-block, they colour-pop. And for the past three years Ari has been working alongside filmmaker Lina Plioplyte on a film of his sartorial muses, women of New York, who despite being over 65 dress with the sort of flair and finesse that shames the young.
While the film is in the can, Ari and Lina have launched a Kickstarter in order to raise funding for the post production and distribution costs. For the moment all we have to content ourselves with is their fabulous trailer, which hints at the gold mine of eccentricity that they have discovered, women who know themselves and dress with a fun abandonment that we can all aspire to. With our help, these ladies can bring it to a whole new audience.
