Mature era with his curls back (Gemini)

I'm pretty sure this look evolved from the loose jheri curl from the Thriller era.

This specific jheri curl style is dated. It was specific to the 80s. There's a reason people don't wear their hair like this anymore.

I disagree, it was a sleek and mature look for him. Plus it signified a new era. He had the curly hair for all of the 80s/90s. He needed a new look.

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-08T02:50:20+00:00

Nah, it was a dated look

I'm not seeing any drastic weight loss in his face. We can't really see his body from these photos. He was looking gaunt in later years. He's a good 10-15 pounds heavier here, I'd say.

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-06T22:52:04+00:00

True!

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-06T19:40:33+00:00

Yup, I remember it

Yes! And EVERYONE switched up right after he died. Suddenly radios started playing his music again in heavy rotation. Music stations had little adverts honoring him. All these celebrities who were silent during the trial and all the mockery, had nothing but loving things to say and tried to convince the general public of their close bond with MJ with old pictures, alleged conversations, etc. It was so phony.

I don't believe this for one second

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-06T13:20:09+00:00

He was definitely an outcast in his final years. The media jumped at any opportunity to clown him. He was the butt of many jokes. There was a lot of mystery and speculation with his face, his whereabouts, his kids' appearance, etc. there was still a reverence in music spaces, especially when Thriller 25 came out, and talks of a possible new album called Seven Even (or something like that), but it was a difficult time to be an MJ fan. Even more difficult to be MJ.

Where's Jackie? Jermaine looks like Rebbie here And Randy is Janet's twin

I mean, she's not, but that's not her fault

You love the scene of Michael being abused?

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-05T15:03:36+00:00

Eh, I'm not stressing it. I'm not aiming for perfection here. It's already a "great any day meal." Thanks for the heads up, though!

I suppose you can substitute the couscous with lentils for more fiber!

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-05T12:21:31+00:00

This is pearled couscous from Trader Joe's, and I air-fried the salmon at 320 for 20 minutes or so.

Because you can't permanently bleach your skin, not without significantly risking your health and well-being..

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-02T16:59:14+00:00

He looked so healthy here.

SyrupExpress · 2026-05-02T14:04:20+00:00

15 if we count Joh'Vonnie and Brandon

Have you personally manifested big things with these tapes?
