I believe it.  The opulent materials to make those mini-dresses !!!  Bob Mackie found Tina's legs like Bob Mackie found Cher's abs.

I think Bob just knew how to design for a woman to showcase her beauty and he dared to show skin and to be opulent with those who could carry that look off.  Loved seeing his designs.

Re: Bob Mackie and Tina Turner

Interesting!I will look for that article.  He is quite a designer! Think Tina, Cher and carol Burnett. Three very different women and yet his designs made all of them look great.  I told my hair stylist I want a wig like Tina! She laughed!  I saw Tina in concert many years ago! Never sat down and I was sore for days from all of the dancing and singing, it was a great time! Rest in power Tina!
