On Nina Blackwood.

This was going to be a one-post day because, honestly, we really wanted you to take time to discover and explore the members of the Beautiful Room. However, someone on Datalounge started a thread on current Sirius radio DJ and original MTV VJ Nina Blackwood, and, as we grew up watching Nina Blackwood on MTV back when MTV used to play videos (that joke NEVER gets old), we thought we'd pass along some of our favorite tidbits from the thread and from Nina's official site.

First of all, here's Nina Blackwood as you may remember her if you were born before 1980, which we don't assume many people who accidentally read this site were...



...and here's Nina recently...



YOWZA!

We then explored her Web page (briefly, obvs) and came across these wonderful morsels...

Trained as a professional harpist, she had made her living playing in restaurants, and clubs, combining her classical training with rock'n'roll, playing songs like George Harrisons's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and modeling.

...and...

A star acting student at the famous Strasberg Institute, Nina Blackwood appeared in the theatrical "Vice Squad," which remains a cult thriller to this day.

...and...

Nina's TV infomercials for 70s and 80s music collections have gone platinum...

Aw. We had no idea Nina was so talen...wait—can infomercials go platinum?

No, they can't.

And, finally, we clicked on this link because we wanted to order this Cassette to play in our car & take the tour...



...but the link just took us to a search engine which asked us to type in our zip code to find the nearest Nina Blackwood affiliate, and when we did, our computer slapped us across the face and jumped out the window. We're writing this on an abacus. It's very hard.
