The original is so laughable that it makes the parody completely necessary. We all need to learn to laugh at ourselves...especially if everyone is already laughing! Hate the original and miss the parodies!
I have to side with those who say that the parody video only made this forgotten "star" relevant again. And yes, if Devon Green had been mass marketing and selling the video then I would agree it would have to be with Brenda's cooperation. But to make a youtube parody video where people are making zilch, it's just satire. Lighten up, Brenda! Be glad we know who you are again.
Deven Green did not make any money from the parody of this video. Deven is a fabulous comedian and all she did was dub over the original video (7 minutes of it actually) Brenda Dickson is a has been from a ridiculous soap opera, and the only reason she re-released this video was to one-up Deven. No one cares about Brenda Dickson's idea of fashion, and besides - this video is from 1987! What woman in her right mind would take tips from a 23 year old video? Fail.
So let me get this straight, she had the original footage pulled from you tube for copy right infringement, ok fair enough. And seems to be pissed off at Devon Green for copy right issues also ( even though it totally helped her). But Rick Jame's " Super Freak " is also copywrited material- ands somehow I really doubt she got clearance to use it in this trailer.....
Those who talk about Devon Green making Brenda's video popular still don't get it. She (he?) used this copyrighted material as the source for her parody, and then made money off of it, of which Brenda got zilch. Even if the original is garbage, the popular parody uses Brenda's material and she, as a co-author, is owed at least some portion of the money it makes. Come on, I write an unpopular book, and you make changes that make it a bestseller, and it's fair that I get nothing? It's theft.
I'm glad I ordered the video. Some dated stuff, but mostly good fashion and beauty advice. I only wish there were more new material on it. Brenda would be perfect for Desperate Housewives!
@carchunero1 How was she ripping her off? The only reason why Brenda had this renewed interest is because her ridiculous video was seen for free on youtube. The paradies made her video more popular. Now she is charging for her video after getting all this free advertising by Devon Green. Do you actually think people want her video for the advise? If so, you are as deluded as Brenda.
@carchunero1 Deven made no money from a parody, which is completely within the bounds of acceptable use of copyrighted material. Ms. Dickson had no valid claim of copyright infringement, but she paid off YouTube to take the video off. Deven did nothing but exactly what every internet comedian, blogger, or YouTube pooper does on a daily basis.
I really think she thinks she's giving the world great fashion advice. (Though to her credit, I do like her message of find the things that YOU like and go from there. People shouldn't enslave themselves to designers.)
On her site, under this video it says this is Brenda's favorite music, "Super Freak" by Rick James. Hey I'm not knocking it, hearing it again makes me want to download the album.
Hi,I just wanted to comment on the video. My favorite is the fashion show. The gowns are dreamy, and much of the 80's fashion is back in style, the leggings for instance, it seems good style is around forever! I also want to comment on that creepy broad who keeps stealing your property. I notice the film has an FBI warning on it, cant you put her in prison for that? Shes awful! Someone is spending a lot of money to try to put you down, maybe someone doesn't want your beautiful face in Hollywood?
Hey brenda, I gave your video to my girlfreind, I wanted her to dress a little more appealing, it worked! She and I watched it together, i took her shopping and I think we nailed it. Wow, some of the outfits you have. Just a really glamourous dvd. It is funny beautiful never goes out of style! Hope to see you in something soon.although I watch you anytime I want in the video.
@tedalijarte You dressed your girlfriend up as an aging soap star from 25 years ago, and you consider that a victory? No accounting for taste, I guess.
Well hello! I just received my dvd of welcome to my home. I love, love...the fashion show. Those gowns are out of this world. Which leads me to my new question,do you still own those gowns? Did you keep them? That red gown takes my breath away, your fan always, Sofia
OMG! WTF... omg! hahahahaha... Love this. OMG! What the f- is Charles thinking when he's out for that brisk 30 minute walk?
