Brenda Dickson says: “this will be the answer to all of your problems”

This video, made in 1987 by soap opera star Brenda Dickson, is so full of bad advice that it defies the imagination. The first video is about fashion, and contains such nuggets as: “I think it’s important for you to know that… anything goes, today.” The second video (below) is about eating healthy. According to Brenda, alfalfa sprouts are loaded with energy because “they’re still growing,” and she also preaches that sugar causes wrinkles.

Part 1: “Fashion is something that is acquired by looking at a lot of different fashions.”

Part 2: “Sugar causes wrinkles.”

Thanks, Mary, for letting me know about this video.

Hey, Adam. Up late. Saw excerpts of these videos on Talk Soup last week. Apparently she was forced to vacate a condo that she lost in her recent divorce — there was some crazy clippage in which she did a Nazi salute (it may be included in the clips you link to — I didn’t watch them all through).

Hope you’re well.

My eyes are bleeding! My eyes are bleeding! Why is everything in her closet so shiny?

The best part is if you don’t like what she is wearing, she can take it off!

Ostrich feathers, anyone?

Will, do you still have that frock with the feathers?

If so, burn it.

“You’ll find that when you go shopping, your eyes will be drawn to the things you like.”

“I like wearing leather. I have a lot of it. When I’m shopping, or running around town, or riding my motorcycle.”

“Leggings and over-size sweaters are great.”

So, how many red leather boots does a girl need? I think I need to head out shopping for that! Also, some dark orange rouge and green eye-liner.

I understand the state of the world a lot better when I see things like this–just add a belt and I’m ready to go!
