FLO at the Grammys was referencing a lot of Tina Knowles's work for Destiny's Child, and I am certain the Children of Destiny were referencing TLC.

The quality of the photos from the Grammys in 1996 was not high. Lisa looks like she just got called up to the stage because she won door prize.

We DID get a nicer photo. Chris was on the 1996 post-Super Bowl episode of Friends, which probably explains this pairing.

Alas, this is 7 years too early to be referring to the Jessica Alba dance classic Honey.

Coolio won for "Gangsta's Paradise," and promptly did what any normal human being would do with their Grammy. I'm being serious. OBVIOUSLY, balance that shit on something!
Mary J. Blige

I always like the random black-and-white shots. Mimi's dress needs a hoik quite depserately.
