A post to honor the Iconic/Influential: Denise Huxtable

Before Moesha, Carrie Bradshaw, Raven Baxter, Samantha Jones, Tony Childs, Blair Waldorf, Olivia Pope & so many more, Denise Huxtable set a lot of trends and broke fashion boundaries in the 80s. Providing decades of Inspiration and recreations. Denise made fashion fun, daring, exciting, adding a whole new layer to who she was as a character. Denise quickly became a fan favorite and soon after a pop culture icon.

Inspired by Lisa Bonet’s own eccentric and outlandish fashion sense, Denise's personal style was largely embraced by the public, and she is widely considered to be a style icon.

A writer of The Guardian credits Denise Huxtable with introducing television audiences to boho-chic 30 years before it became a mainstream fashion trend.

Several publications have ranked Denise among the best-dressed characters on television, including Elle, Glamour, Essence, StyleCaster, Vibe, and Harper's Bazaar.

In 2012, clothing company Urban Outfitters created a clothing line inspired by Denise entitled "A Different World" describing it as "a nod to the coolest older sister ever"

She is eternally on the mood board for many creatives. This kind of influence is unprecedented, unmatched and cannot be bought or recreated. Although I’m sure Lisa Bonét doesn’t have many great memories of those days, I hope she knows how much she has inspired so many people on our journeys to self discovery. She has absolutely inspired me since childhood and continues to ♥️

Whitley: This year is going to be so much fun. What is that?

Denise: They're old dental retainers. My sister Vanessa made it for me.

Whitley: Those things have been in other people's mouths.

Denise: Just my mouth, Whitley.

Whitley: Well.. I'm going to take a shower. I feel like Miss Gritty City. Make yourself at home.

Denise: Thanks, I will.

Whitley: Silly me, I almost forgot.

Denise: What's that?

Whitley: It's a lock for the phone. Bye-bye, rommie.

Denise: Bye.....roomie.

Ppl keep saying “if Denise stayed on a different world i would’ve gotten cancelled if Denise stayed on a different world i would’ve hated it” you don’t know that because Debbie Allen had plans for Lisa bonet and Denise just because you didn’t know that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work out

If Laurie hated Eric so much, why couldn’t she just admit it to him instead of making his like miserable? And to anybody who likes Laurie, why do you like her? She was horrible. I will never understand how Eric never once thought about ending his life because of the bullying he suffered at the hands of Laurie. I wish the writers had given Eric two older brothers who stood up for him whenever she and Red (their dad) were mean to him.

If DJ Tanner, Laura Winslow, Denise Huxtable, and Kimberly Drummond saw Laurie’s treatment of Eric, they would all shake their heads in disgust.

Thanks for the ask! My answer to that is here. I don't believe that Eric and Laurie hated each other, or that she bullied Eric on the show.

'Bullying' is not the same thing as teasing (or 'burning') someone. Bullying is persistent, unwanted aggressive behavior and it involves a power differential that simply wasn't at play between these two characters. Laurie would burn Eric and he would burn her right back - often worse than she got him. And while Laurie had Red's support in her conflicts with Eric, Eric had Kitty's. Kitty allowed Eric, Hyde, and their friends to make objectively awful comments about Laurie because of her reputation for having a lot of sex. Like this example:

Hyde: *Yawns* Whore

Laurie: Mom, he called me a whore!

Kitty: Yeah. Steven honey, you're too young for coffee. Have some juice.

I like Laurie because she's really sex positive, funny (her burns often made me laugh out loud) and confident (although we see cracks in that confidence that show she has deep-seated insecurities, which make her a more well-rounded and sympathetic character). I enjoyed some of her storylines before she was written off - specifically when Red grapples with her growing up and moving out (and not always making the best choices as a young adult, but supporting her anyway) and when she was pursuing Beauty School and feeling like a failure after she flunked out of college (and how Kitty wouldn't let her quit!). These storylines gave her character some depth, and showed that Laurie isn't just an evil, heartless, person. She's a complex character with goals, insecurities, and a complex relationship with her different family members. But at the end of the day, despite how antagonistic they can sometimes be towards one another, I believe the Formans all love each other and have each other's backs. And that's family... amirite?

🔥Separating Art from Artist( Cosby, Spacey, Depp)

If the artist had a hand in creating the work rather than just being part of it, said work is gonna be a reflection of their values.

Examples:

- The song Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number is Aaliyah’s song, but it was written by R. Kelly, and Aaliyah was one of the MANY girls he groomed.

- The Cosby Show definitely helped show audiences a more well-off black family, but Cosby is also big into respectability politics (basically the kind of old black person who’ll tell a person my age “well maybe the police wouldn’t shoot you if you acted right”), and that bleeds into the show and how he treated some of its cast members. When Lisa Bonet (Denise Huxtable’s actress) got pregnant, that didn’t fit with Cosby’s ideal of the perfect black family (no children out of wedlock), so she was written out and the producers scrambled to give her a spin-off. She eventually came back to The Cosby Show and A Different World grew into its own thing, but suffice it to say that Cosby’s positive portrayal of a black family came with some asterisks.

Theo: Denise,(angry) Is this my shirt? Is this the shirt I paid  $30 for?!s this the shirt they’re going to think is a  Gordon Cartell?

Denise: You don’t like it?

Theo:(angry) Ask me the question again.

Denise: You don’t like it?

Theo: I hate it!

Denise: You don’t like it? Theo: Look at it. Oh, it’s the ugliest shirt I’ve ever seen!

Denise: It’s not that bad.

Vanessa: It’s better than I can do.

Theo: Look at these sleeves; my arm is the same length. The collar is all crazy, and it’s ten sizes too big! Why aren’t my sleeve the same length?

Denise: Well, maybe if you tucked it in.

Theo: It’s tucked into my socks!!

Is season 1 bad, I wanted to try it

season 1 is boring and it also has marissa tomei because they wanted to do this thing about a white girl's experience at an hbcu, and denise huxtable didn't make for a really interesting protagonist, it's a bore, so season 2 is generally considered the true start of the series.

A few weeks ago, I had a time. I saw the cast of one of the best shows on television especially back in the 80's and 90's. The show is called A Different World. The show was supposed to be a spin off of Denise Huxtable from the show The Cosbey Show however after the first season she didnt return back onto the set, but that didnt stop the success of this series. I was supposed to go to the event with my sister hoever she wasnt able to attend but I made sure I catptured lots of videos and pictures for her and myself. The event last from 4 until 8 with a two part section, the first being the homcing greeting and then the panel section located in the Fine and Performing Arts Building. Not only as a current college student but also a black college student at an HBCU, this was one of my favorite shows to watch. I knew about this show from my sister because she used to watch it alot when it would show reruns on the television and as well as when It got onto Netflix. After watching a few episodes with her and hearinh how she talked about loving this show so much, I ended up watching the full serieson Netflix myself and loved every second of the show. Seeing the cast and hearing them talk about the show and what led them to get casted into the show it was an amazing experience and I had a great time.

The REAL Story Behind The Cosby Show Cast

You know, it’s wild to think about how much time has passed since "The Cosby Show" first hit our screens. I mean, who didn’t grow up watching the Huxtables? That family was like a warm hug on a cold day. But let’s talk about where they are now. Phylicia Rashad, who played Claire, has been thriving on Broadway and even earned a Tony Award! And then there’s Malcolm-Jamal Warner, our beloved Theo, who’s still acting and even dabbled in music. It’s so cool to see how they’ve evolved. But it’s not all sunshine; some cast members have faced their own struggles. Lisa Bonet, who played Denise, has always marched to the beat of her own drum, embracing her uniqueness. It’s a bittersweet reminder that while the show brought us laughter, life is a complex tapestry of triumphs and challenges. Isn’t it fascinating how these characters continue to resonate with us?
