Re: Any fan of Belinda Carlisle on this forum?
I thought she was really hot back when I was a kid during the "Heaven On Earth" days, but that's about it.

I remember she had a Playboy spread about the same time as her solo album was coming out, she looks as great as she sings! I'm going to go have to dig that issue up.

Well, it's not a rumor. The tape does exist. I think they played some of it on the Go-Go's "Behind the Music" It features a completely doped out Belinda ranting about masturbation and I think they have one of their roadies or male groupies jerking off on camera. But that's all I ever saw.
Not much of a listener of her music, but I used to think she was hot. I do remember her unfortunately putting on some significant weight at some point though. Never saw the Playboy spread, but I'm now curious. If anyone has any links to where you could find it, PM me.

+1 I wasn't exactly a kid then, but otherwise--I agree.
Oh, and she has a great voice (though I was indifferent to most of her music).

Re: Any fan of Belinda Carlisle on this forum?
Based partly on lust, partly on liking her songs, I was a pretty big fan in the late 80s and early 90s. Her first three albums, while definitely sounding like products of their time, are great slices of pop. I think Runaway Horses is criminally underrated - a lot of growth on that one, and a really nice variety of songs.
After that, the quality of her work, IMNSHO, precipitously dropped. The next three CDs each only had a couple of songs that really stuck with you after hearing them. I think part of that is that she just lost interest - she was married, living overseas, and raising a family. I think Big Scary Animal from Real is a great song, but the rest of the CD is mostly forgettable.
And I've seen the Playboy pics. I don't like them. They're way too Photoshopped/Airbrushed for my tastes. If I get a Belinda itch, I'll use YouTube to scratch it; I think the videos for Heaven Is A Place On Earth and I Feel the Magic feature her at her hottest.
Post Script: I've always thought Jane was quite the sexy cutie, too, but heard she was full out gay, not bi.

Re: Any fan of Belinda Carlisle on this forum?
I've been a fan of Belinda's work for a long time now. She made some great tunes. I really like the song "I Get Weak". It's a great description of how love can engulf you if it's true. "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and "Circle In The Sand" are great tracks also. I picked up "Live Your Life Be Free" from the cut-out bin at the late great Media Play back in the late 90s and I thought it was one of the best albums of that decade. "Half The World" is a sad ballad but, to paraphrase the great Butters Stotch, it's a beautiful sadness.
As for Jane Wiedlin, she's great, too. "Inside A Dream" is an amazing song. I often envision montages of 80s movies in my head, and when I say that, I mean a series of clips of 80s movies. This song oftentimes accompanies it. Of course, there are other songs I think of, like "Red Rain" by Peter Gabriel, "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer, "Gravity" by Michael Sembello...

I didn't know that was Jane. Clue is one of my favorite rainy day movies. As for Belinda, nice voice but not one of my favorite artists. Probably haven't given her much of a chance. I do seem to be able to watch the entire "Vacation" video for some reason

Check out YouTube and other places for Belinda's videos. She's WAY hotter in "I Feel the Magic" and "Heaven Is A Place On Earth."

Re: Any fan of Belinda Carlisle on this forum?
She must have had one of those "eating disorders," cause she used to be kinda chubby while with the Go-Go's (I believe the above picture is while she was being "solo").
I have two of her songs on my iPod - my shuffle holds only 250-odd songs, and I use two of those positions for Belinda:
Heaven Is A Place On Earth and
Vacation (the latter is The Go-Go's, but so what).

"I give in to sin because you have to make this life liveable" -Depeche Mode
By the way, go to Jane's site and look at every page for some sidebar cosplay pictures. She looks great in costume.
