    Well it all began way back in like 1987. There was this cassette tape lying on the floor. God I had to be like 10 years old. Anyways it was a "Tiffany" tape. My older cousin was into Tiffany and she was about Tiff's age. So that was the first time I seen her face. I still hadn't listened to her music until I got into the "New Kid's on the Block". I remember every time I seen New Kid's I seen Tiffany! They spoke so fondly of her so I had to check her out. I'am so happy that I did, and have had that chance to grow up on her music! I remember watching this old video tape and Tiffany was sitting on the couch eating lunch while The New Kid's huddled in front of her. They barely had any room to breathe! She was eating a sandwich and smiling really big. They were auditioning for her because they were in desperate need of a break and Tiffany was the one who gave it to them!
    So anyways I began to listen to her more and more and had the chance to see her because I went to see the New Kid's. Then I went crazy and started buying her tapes and singing her songs wherever I went! I made my friends listen to her, and I still do that today. If you are ever in your car and you hear a Tiffany song playing, chances are it's me! I cruise down the streets all the time blaring her music for ALL TO HEAR!
    There were moments when I became bitter with her when she and Jon were over and I wasn't hearing anything from her. I regret feeliing this way. So Debbie Gibson kinda took over my heart. I neglected Tiff in a big way and spent time and money on Deborah.
   I met Debbie and she is just as sweet and the same person she was 10 years ago, just older. But something was missing. I went home and replayed some of Tiff's songs and I almost bawled! I'am like, What happened to her, I really miss her now? I want to meet her too! She is like one of my idols ya know. So to make a long story short because this is long, I found the internet and looked up Tiffany info. I updated myself on her life with husband and child, and just really get invloved with her career. I have had tons of catching up to do, but I'am greatful. No words can describe how phenomenal she is! I'am amazed to this day when I hear her older material and just to know that a 16 year old was singing with so much soul.
    She deserves so much more credit and I'am out to make sure she gets it. I'am sure other Tiff fans can agree with that.
