Brenda Dickson ("Young & The Restless") video from the 80's

[JackBeck]

"Well hello!"

Freakin' hilarious homemade video of a soap star's personal life from the 1980's. I hope you enjoy the insanity.

It's a little long, and in two parts, but you HAVE to see this video. Just when I was about to click off of it, she does or says something even more outrageous.

There are too many precious moments to admire. Did you know that sugar causes wrinkles?

1. Her eyes are completely insane.

Not to mention the horrific fashion.

Some of the best parts are in the second video when you get to meet her dog and cat. If there's ever a video that defines the '80's this is the one.

[darkstar]

2. Dude. That video was financed by cocaine. Clearly.

"Well, hello. Did you bring me some cocaine?"

Insane. Thanks. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:hi:

[JackBeck]

3. Ya' think??

If you watch the credits at the end not only Brenda the star of the video.

She's the writer. The director. The producer....

There are so many hilarious moments of that piece of youtube greatness to even list.

Did you see where she introduces you to her cat and then says "I'm hungry." :rofl:

Classic.

[darkstar]

4. Not to besmirch Ms. Dickinson, now.

In short, no, didn't finish credits. So maybe I'm wrong. But gawd I gotta think that living room saw some powder and porno shoots at some point, even if it was when the good Ms. BD was out of town promoting her, a, video.

Priceless youtubery. My laptop just paid for itself.

"Notice the slit?"

[JackBeck]

5. Total porno with clothes.

After I read your first response I went for a smoke and all I could think of was how much it looked like an '80's porno shoot. But with clothes.

LOL, "Notice the slit?" There are many more of those once you get the chance to watch the whole thing. She shows you her "workout" with her dog. And how she eats.

Did you see her "teleport" into her closet?? Crazy shit.

[XemaSab]

27. I'm sure it's not a coincidence

That her cat is named "Snow."

[JackBeck]

28. DING! You get the Lounge prize this evening.

Yes.

The white cat is named Snow.

And more bizarrely after the introduction, she says something along the lines of "Meet my cat Snow. I'm starving."

Xema wins top honors this evening.

6. That's very... Electra Woman & Dyna-Girl

Or at least some of those outfits are. Especially the one with the "interesting" headgear. :rofl:

[JackBeck]

12. I love how she goes against the fashion grain.

And chooses her own headgear.

Watch part two when you get a chance.

[flamingyouth]

13. LOL - we just did!

Some sage nutritional advice there! The body releases toxins between 4 am and noon, eh? :D

[JackBeck]

16. Who knew?

The cat scene makes me snarf every time.

[Frank Cannon]

32. Those animals looked half-dead or seriously tranqued

Even the cat was moving in slow motion.

[darkstar]

15. Dude. You gotta play against the designer !!!

Hasn't Ms BD taught you a thing, fool?

I'm wearing a bolo tie with my Lakers Jersey right now. It sets off my ski-boots perfectly.

:hi:

[JackBeck]

17. My Mets jersey is still hanging in the extra bathroom.

Although I have yet to invest in a bolo tie.

7. Even by 80's standards, this woman has horrible taste.

Suntan pantyhose with strappy sandals? x(

[Fenris]

9. Rhinestone pumps - they go with EVERYTHING!

[amitten]

11. Actually...none of her stuff goes with anything else.

And that gold lame number in the intro looks like a costume from Star Trek.

[Fenris]

8. Can't. Stop. Laughing.

"Well Hello!"

[flamingyouth]

10. She's the Norma Desmond of today

She hasn't worked since 1983.

[Fenris]

18. Well Hello! She was on an episode of E! "True Hollywood Stories!"

She also wants you to tell Marc Chery that she would be really really good on "Desperate Housewives."

[flamingyouth]

19. Well Hello!

I see she also has a really giant Christmas tree.

I'm sorry I missed that. :scared:

[Fenris]

20. She also thinks she's a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Well Hello!

[JackBeck]

24. Just wait

until you meet her dog, "Charles".

Yet another "Well hello" moment. You gotta see part two.

[JackBeck]

21. Well hello.

Everything's also really "dramatic". I can't stop laughing at this video. Please tell me you've seem part two with her pets?

[XemaSab]

14. I wish I had seen this

before I went retro last night.

My eyeliner was all wrong. :(

[JackBeck]

22. Enjoy it my love.

Part two is even better!

Have you met her dog and cat yet?

[XemaSab]

26. I totally did

they both look stuffed. :scared:

[crim son]

23. LMFAO!

"Fashion can be acquired and you too... be it male or female... can be fashionable too!"

Apparently a basic command of the english language is not fashionable :rofl:

[JackBeck]

25. I can't stress it enough.

I hope you get a chance to see part two.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbioHzo6eJg

You meet her pets.

[crim son]

29. It's a sad sight to behold.

Did she need money? Was she fired not long after? Or did the fashion police come and take her away for wearing the floral gown with gathered bodice and massive ruffle? (I remember those dresses)

[JackBeck]

30. I feel like she was in the height of her famousness.

And she was either high on coke or high on her self that she thought it was appropriate to make this monstrosity.

[Frank Cannon]

31. This is absolutely bananas. WTF did she make this for?

Was she trying to sell this video or something? Was she kidding or is she really that crazy?

[JackBeck]

33. Who knows.

But it's a good time for all of us to enjoy.

[Heidi]

34. Spooky. She hasn't aged in 20 years.

35. Part 2 is funnier than Part 1

Even the dog looks repulsed!

[JackBeck]

37. I encourage everyone to watch part 2 as well.

You get excellent workout tips.

[Frank Cannon]

38. Part 2 offers catatonic animals and exercise and diet tips...

that sound like something a kindergartener would come up with.

I'm surprised she didn't show us her vibrating abdominal belt.

[enigmatic]

45. That was the Cinemax Directors cut version!

:)

[Beausoir]

36. This thing is absolutely hilarious. ROFL.

[JackBeck]

40. It is, isn't it?

A couple of friends clued me into this last Friday. They couldn't stop laughing while trying to explain the video.

[Deja Q]

39. When a name like 'Dickson', I had to go look!

And if it was made today, it'd be a parody. :spray:

And a male or female can be fashionable too! I just want to see a guy wear her outfits!

She may be very much into style and fashion, but she's also very much into :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

And who's her target audience anyway? Kindergarten children? :wow:

[JackBeck]

42. I hope you enjoyed it.

She got some crazy eyes in a few scenes.

[myrna minx]

41. "Sprouts give you more energy than any other vegetable. Because they're still growing!

OMG! :rofl: That fashion show was just, um, hilarious!

[myrna minx]

43. I have sent this out to my DQ friends. Thanks for posting this.

:rofl: Those poor pets! Well Tah, I just thrown on some diamonds, snake skin boots, denim, a fox stole to go work out. Oh! I almost forgot my headband. It's ALL about the accessories dahrling! :rofl:

[JackBeck]

44. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

There's plenty of moments to either be horrified by or enjoy in the campiness.
