There are still women like her, y’all just don’t pay attention to them.

All gorgeous, no crazy tattoos or surgeries. No one really pays much attention to them though :yeshrug:

She had a very classy and elegant look while occasionally being a little tomboyish.

That look worked for her back in the 90s, but here 20 years later that wouldn't be what your average brother would be calling beautiful.

She was attractive though, but not the standard bearer of beauty for that era. I heard Mariah Carey, Halle Berry, Nia Long, and others talked about a lot more during that time frame as standard bearers of beauty in our community.

I'm actually glad she wasn't apart of the social media bullshyt we experience today. Rest in peace.

Yeah I don't remember dudes sweating her like that when she was around. It was all about Nia Long, Halle Berry, Naomi, Vivica, Lisa Raye, etc. She had a gorgeous face but I never crushed on her like that back in 1999-2001 because she was super slim.

I was in love with this woman before I even knew what love was. Heartbreaking that her passing was as premature, violent and tragic as it was. She was beautiful.

First point isn't true at all. Looks wise and in terms of face/hair she would be well within that standard.

Controversial, but....that's a shame tbh. :ld:Prime Mariah was beautiful tho.
