Almost forgot…

I was thinking about where I might have seen Jasmine Guy’s sister, Monica, and I know of three episodes where I can make a valid guess, using the WMA video for the MultiVu site.
–”In the Eye of the Storm”–I’m certain that Monica is one of the people trapped in the Pit–she’s the one in a blue coat looking out at the window near the beginning of the Pit sequence. She wears gray clothing and red boots–she’s dancing in the slow dancing segment as well and recoils to the (viewer) right of the Pit when the glass breaks.
–”Lisa Who-Little”–She stands in for Jasmine Guy, duh.
–”Mammy Dearest”–I believe she’s standing on some pole near the stage that Gina and Freddie perform on, wearing a black dress and something on her head. After Freddie does her (overdramatic, but hey, Whitley does it all the time, so) recitation of Ntozake Shange’s for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf
(& you promised me
you promised me…
somebody/ anybody
sing a black girl’s song…)
you can see Monica (to the right of the screen) when Whitley is bringing out one of those pictures for her exhibit and she says “Now we know why colored girls consider suicide.”

And I don’t care what Jasmine Guy said in Evolution (about how she was beaten up for being nine in the sixth grade), Whitley should have been beaten up on ADW more often, IMO, especially after that comment. Who cares if she’s in pain from breaking up with Dwayne?

I’ve also seen that Monica was possibly in “Rule Number One,” but I can’t verify that.

All I can say is that she was an extra during the fifth season of ADW–that is all.
