Janet Jackson’s makeup for “What’s It Gonna Be?” was done by Mathu Andersen, who also did the makeup for TLC’s “No Scrubs” video and worked extensively with RuPaul. Jackson was styled by Wayne Scot Lukas and her hair was done by Janet Zeitoun.
Everyone knows that TLC’s 1999 “No Scrubs” video was heavily inspired by Michael and Janet Jackson’s intergalactic clip for “Scream”.
Mathu Andersen did TLC’s makeup for the latter, and then did Janet’s that same year. Interesting stuff~~
Btw, Janet’s makeup in “Scream” was done by Kevyn Aucoin.
Anyways, famous Black costume designer/stylist June Ambrose styled Busta Rhymes for the “What’s It Gonna Be” video. She also did “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems”, “The Rain”, Jay-Z’s looks in “Apeshit”, and Missy Elliott’s Marie Claire spread that dropped last week!
Moral of the story is: the relationship between the past, present and future is traceable and your faves inspire your faves!

okay but like, i think that one of the things that really hit me hard in the special episode was that shit about addiction, and how, if she was keeping drugs ‘just in case’ she was never fully committed to staying clean. I feel like as someone who has struggled with s*lf h*rm and other things this is an excellent point that i kind of always understood but never really accepted. Even when I stay clean for months if i ever feel like relapsing i can because i’ve never been brave enough to make the means inaccessible, and when i think about that I guess it shows that i’ve never commited to truely ceasing to hurt myself. It’s definetly some interesting food for thought.
