StoriesIt was May 19, 1985. I was at the Wherehouse in Encino, California coming to see the
stars of my favorite show, Kids Incorporated. Everyone was there Renee, Stacy, Martika,
Rahsaan, and Jerry Sharell; it was fantastic. Well, after that I started going to the live
tapings of Kids Inc.. They only filmed during the summer, so every year I couldn't wait to
go to another taping of Kids Inc.. I always thought that everyone was so talented on the
show, I never dreamed that they would recognize me each and every time I was there and
that they would welcome me into their lives the way they did. 
Renee and Stacy have long since been away from Kids Inc. pursuing other
interests. It was only a few years ago that they got together with Stefanie Ridel to
become what they are today, Wild Orchid. Three talented young ladies who in my opinion
will go a long way. They have a bright future. The group is Wild Orchid. You can get their
debut CD at your local music stores or wherever CD's are sold; their second CD has been
taken off the shelves, but will be rereleased soon.

On September 22, 1997, I attended a private performance with Wild Orchid
at Manhattan's Cheetah night club. The event was sponsored by Guess? apparel and Macy's
(The girls are official models of Guess?). My ticket into the performance: a plaid Guess?
shirt and swim trunks from Macy's. Other Wild Orchid fans have told me about their
wonderful experiences with Wild Orchid. They were able to talk to them, get autographs,
etc. I was hoping that I would have that experience. The girls began their performance
with "My Tambourine." Some lucky guy got up on stage to be their
"tambourine." If only I was that tambourine. They also performed
"Supernatural," "At Night I Pray,"and my favorite, "Talk to
Me." Unfortunately, that was it. They said good night and left (Sorry, Angie and Joe,
wanted to say "hi" to them for you). I felt a little down because they didn't
sing any more of their songs. 
The club provided complementary CD singles of
"Supernatural." That made me feel a little better. Although the night wasn't
what I expected, I was happy to see Wild Orchid live. They are a terrific group to watch.
Definitely one of the rising pop/dance groups. Go see them if they come to your town. I
took some photos of the performance. Unfortunately, they came out too dark, so I can't
show them. Sorry! If you're ever looking for a photographer, I'm NOT the one. LOL
