Cherry Vanilla at The Ritz on Valentine’s Day 1985

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I met Cherry in NYC in the 80’s. She performed for the CFDA before a fashion show that I was part of.Someone sent this to her today and she passed it on to me and knowing how everyone cannot seem to get enough of the 80’s, I thought I’d post it for you.

Cherry is currently working on her biography that no doubt will be turned into a film.
