The year was 1984, and things were different back then. Women got perms. And wore shoulder pads. The government wouldn't admit that AIDS and HIV existed. Nintendo had just come out. Oh, and the entire media world was dead-set on turning every last child gay.
Enter "Kids Incorporated," a show I never actually watched. It's true! I had no idea this show existed. I was too busy frying my brains watching Nickelodeon. Or being 2 years old. WHATEVER! Most of you kids weren't born for another decade after this!
Anyway.
Watch this video. Keep an eye on that lil blonde girl. Look familiar? That's Stacy Ferguson. Also known as Fergie. Seriously. You can't make this shit up.

I loved this show. I hate a big, gay crush on Ryan, the oldest boy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Martika also came from this show and had a hit single at the end of the 80's, "Toy Soldiers." It looked like she was going to be a breakaway pop star for a minute and then... um... it didn't really work out.
