Holly Gleason, Pollstar, October 2021

TINA TURNER in a chain mail dress…

Tina Turner in a black leather mini skirt, denim jacket, seam up the back of those legs…

Tina Turner in a white button down shirt, plain Levi's, a pair of black stilettos…

Tina Turner in a shimmering silver Versace slip with black lace…

Tina Turner in a mesh loin cloth and draped serious-shouldered bodice as Auntie Entity, the ruler of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome's Bartertown…

Tina Turner in a dress that looked like licks of flame, tumbling down and rippling up from Bob Mackie's brilliant designs for The Cher Show.
