Whitney Houston Bikini Pictures from 1996 in St. Barts Show the Diva Consuming Coke

Consider this a posthumous tribute (coke jokes aside), Whitney Houston in the mid 1980's one hot soulful young diva, and ten years later, before the drugs, she was still hanging onto visual goods, though a body-modest woman, seen here in classic bikini pictures from her 1996 vacation to St. Bart with husband, Corrupto-Man, who Whitney herself stated used to love to lace his weed with cocaine. Very uncool stoner behavior. And, might we add, for the children who read this site, no music star was ever found dead in a bathtub from smoking too much ganja.

But, back to Whitney, who went way too early, her body of work, and her bikini body, squelched in a way that simply didn't have to be. Peace.
