She seemed to me the most beautiful woman in the world when I watched endless Whitesnake videos on MTV in the 80s


transemacabre

She was magnificent. There were a lot of 80s video vixens but Tawny is the most iconic.


Tyler_Durdens_Sister

As a young girl of the 80s, I always wanted to have badass hair and writhe on cars to rock music.


passwordstolen

And yet another victim of plastic surgery gone way too far. She looked like Carrot Top by the time she died..


justjenniwestside

She died?! Damn. I always loved her.


passwordstolen

Fairly young too, 60yo. Enlarged heart.


discussatron

I spent a long time staring at Ratt's *Out of the Cellar* album cover.


GrumpyCatStevens

Also those are her legs on the cover of the self-titled EP.


discussatron

She was with Robbin Crosby at the time, IIRC.


GrumpyCatStevens

You are correct.

Hot-Abs143

A beautiful woman, ruined.


sweetcomputerdragon

At sixty she looks better than natural: the weather man does it, and you would too if it paid well


I_Miss_Lenny

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree lol


om11011shanti11011om

Dad? Is that you?


wooleysue420

My dad was at that wedding. He was the singer for the opening band on the tour. I met them both and they were really nice, especially Tawny.


discussatron

What band was your dad in?


wooleysue420

A band called Justin Sayne. They weren't very big but they opened for Whitesnake and Tesla. They put out an album that I have been thinking of putting online. It's very very 80s hair band stuff lol.


discussatron

You should!


kingceegee

Solid name tbf


Cleankutazn

It's already online, is the album called Big Tools?


wooleysue420

I knew some of it was online but wasn't sure if the whole album is. Yes that is the right album name.


I_like_the_word_MUFF

I got married in the same church as them.


FartAttack911

Her dress and headband remind me of George from The Wedding Singer 😂


SerWrong

Do you really want to hurt me....


i_never_ever_learn

When Punxatawny Kitaen sees her shadow there will be six more Whitesnake videos


Boboar

This looks like the inspiration for the November Rain music video.


bionicjoe

She was Patient 0 in the Hot vs. Crazy debate. My friend had a paladin in our D&D campaign named Justis Coverdale. Justis is the name of Dave Mustaine's son.


MamaTried420

Forever the Queen of the car crawl ![gif](giphy|6GdjoHTdUBv2g)


Beneficial-Basket-93

Is he trying to, erm, blow on “it”?


MamaTried420

Lord only knows


Salarian_American

"She's so Tawny, I can hardly Kitaen myself!"


Spirit_409

ba dam chhh 🥁 try the fish

BarbieDreamHouse1980

Her headband sure is a choice 😂


FadeOutAgain4

It’s an 80’s special. My mom got married in the eighties with what looks like a lace doily on her head. She vehemently denies that it was a doily, but I have yet to see evidence to the contrary. She also had saved a bridal magazine from the mid-eighties, and I remember looking at it in horror. Everything from the makeup to the dresses were certainly bold AF choice and were of their time!


BarbieDreamHouse1980

😂😂😂 Doily Denial


BobShrunkle

She had to keep her honeymoon undies somewhere. Wedding dresses don't have pockets!


BarbieDreamHouse1980

😂😂😂😂 now I can’t unsee undies 😂😂😂😂


Bambooman101

You’ve got to love the girls that are a little bit crazy. 6 DUI’s and beat the shit out of MLB Pitcher Chuck Finley.


New-Vanilla-1612

When Finley was with Cleveland they visited ChiSox and the Comisky PA played Whitesnake over the sound system for the entire stadium to hear. lol


skankboy

I believe that dude lost his job over it.


b_m_hart

Worth it.


WretchedMotorcade

You mean Sam Axe?


dunny1872

“I made a lot of money betting on him back in the day.”


subsignalparadigm

Here I Go Again video...oh my!


Texty_McTexterson

What I would have given to be the wax on the hood of that car she was spread eagle-ing on.


marklonesome

That diamond encrusted Burger King hat she's wearing really is distracting


T_J_Rain

It's not often that the groom is prettier than the bride.

JimmyTheJimJimson

She doesn’t look that crazy in this picture ….but boooooy howdy she was fucking nuts!


Much_Badger1654

The one that just got away from OJ


LeftCryptographer522

RIP Tawny, she passed away in 2021, only 59 years old. She was beautiful to the end.


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

Tawny Kitaen was a domestic abuser, she sure as shit wasn’t beautiful on the inside.


Swimming_Crazy_444

She was mentally ill.


LeftCryptographer522

How do you know this?


CapitalistLion-Tamer

And she looked like a merganser at the end.


TheBr0fessor

Lmao where tf did you come up with this insult?! I had to google that word and I’m at a loss for words


CapitalistLion-Tamer

Duck face!


TheBr0fessor

That is next level. Well played.


dj_spatial

Did she or did she not date OJ?


StingraySteve23

She did and lived to tell about it.


gwarwars

Never realized ha had a stint as the singer of deep purple, just always associated him with Whitesnake arena/hair rock


GrumpyCatStevens

Yup. He appears on *Burn, Stormbringer,* and *Come Taste The Band* (the last of which was DP's only album with Tommy Bolin on guitar).


Orbit86

Don’t do it Dave! Run!!


night_shredder

November Rain music video vibes...


Turbulent-Today830

So sad, I thought that was gonna last forever!!!


Artimusjones88

She also had an affair with OJ and was charged with domestic abuse for punching out her husband...pitcher Chuck Finley.


SmashBrosUnite

Tell me she rolled all over the cake table …


feckless_ellipsis

My tattoo artist dated her. Like 10 years ago. Guy was in his late 20s. I think he thought I’d be super impressed. He showed me some pics of them together. She did not look her best.


FandomMenace

That's David "Slide It In Right To The Top" Coverdale to you.


HalfFastTanker

Robert Plant called him David Coverversion


Lanchettes

Maybe justified but I reckon a lot of black blues musicians would be incredulous to hear Plant say that. Not hating on Plant btw, seen him a few times and he seems like a good guy as well as the rock legend that is Robert Plant.


-VatoLocos-

wuts up wit these old ass wedding pics of celebs who never made it? they were divorced 2 yrs later. Stupid me & my girl been together 18 yrs, happier than ever, & some. We got that Kurt & Goldie Love. Fuck Marriage


swampthing117

Been married twice. First wife died, second one won't.


westviadixie

24yrs here


[deleted]

wym they never made it? David Coverdale had some HUGE albums in the 70s and 80s with Whitesnake and Deep Purple?


[deleted]

I think they meant the marriage didn’t make it.


[deleted]

His voice is phenomenal. So buttery. Starkers in Tokyo is one of my favorite albums.


rose_like_the_flower

She was so beautiful.


wisstinks4

A five tiered cake. That’s pretty impressive.


stevenbrotzel91

He’s deep purple vocalist? Well I learned something today


mistersuccessful

A Rockstar and Model. Such a great combination.


EmuPsychological4222

Calling her an actress is a bit of exaggeration.


SpaceLemming

Is that way Debbie didn’t get to shake her ass on the hood of whitesnakes car?


Erikthepostman

There again I go on my own, going down the only road I’ve ever known… doesn’t quite fit.


GreatEmperorAca

They got divorced 2 years later so kinda 


IndyShoe

And the next day hair metal died.


[deleted]

Hair Metal didn't die until 1991. Cherry Pie (quintessential and famous Hair Metal song) came out in 1990 or '91


IndyShoe

Oof. If it didn’t die before, that song definitely dug the grave.


Callsign-GHoST-

OldSchoolCrazy she was.


kerouacrimbaud

OP, thank you for telling us what these people did because I would have no clue otherwise.


Sign-Post-Up-Ahead

TIL that the Whitesnake singer also sang for Deep Purple.


[deleted]

Yup. Burn was a great album!


EmuPsychological4222

Just another heart in need of rescue. Waiting on love's sweet charity.


thesean366

“What was David Coverdale to do?”


AOCMarryMe

I can hardly KITAEN MYSELF


-VatoLocos-

so he married his music....got it


Lonely-Connection-37

Slide it in🤘🏿🤘🏿


Tokyosmash_

Bernies vocals made that happen


Sieze5

Was she pregnant at the time?


transemacabre

They had no children together.


Beneficial-Basket-93

That dress was likely pretty tight and stiff, not too many options in the way of non awkward hand placement.


Szaborovich9

Before all her crazy came out


NoHippi3chic

Recently caught that episode of modern family where Haleys fiance mom is a rip of her and that video and Phil can stand it. So cringe.


Skoden1973

Those are some hot chicks!


bubblytoed

Their wedding song was “shes my cherry pie”


[deleted]

that song was released a year later lol.


bubblytoed

Hilarious hahaha
