K-POP BAND SEVENTEEN: DRESSED LIKE HIP BUSINESSMEN

Hard times for K-pop boy band Seventeen. They hoped to make a splash on their first trip to the USA, but the pandemic barred them from live performances. Luckily they landed a spot on The Kelly Clarkson Show to show their talent. Ironically the band has only 13 members- they are divided into three “units”: the hip hop unit, the vocal unit, and the performance unit. They are said to be more involved in the actual songwriting and choreography than other boy bands – most are in their early 20’s. Thom Browne decked them out expensively for the Clarkson show – some of the clothes look a little too serious for this group, but they are cute…

WHITNEY HOUSTON WAS A TEENAGE COVER GIRL

We didn’t know Whitney Houston was a teen model. It’s 1981 and for some reason this magazine cover has a Norman Rockwell innocent quality. Whitney was an up and coming fresh young model and she turned 18 on the day she posed for this photograph. She was one of the first black models to grace a Seventeen cover.
