Two of my favorite people from teh 1980′s, Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, are going head-to-head in a battle for the ages. They are appearing together in the Syfy movie Mega Python v. Gatoroid. Debbie’s going to be an animal rights activist, and Tiffany will be a park ranger. And they will supposedly come to blows.

I had a Tiffany tape when I was younger, and I did love her mall-dancing and red hair, but my allegiance belonged to Debbie Gibson. Debbie was the one I tried to copy by drawing an upside-down smiley face on my knee. And Debbie was the one I was a little over-offended for when, as a teenager, I heard someone comment on how “immature” her voice really was.

But even with my love for Debbie, I have to bet on Tiffany winning their fight. Debbie grew prissy as she got older and demanded that people call her “Deborah.” Tiffany did Playboy. I think we know who wins.  

Anyone care to disagree with me? (Sadly, we have to wait until 2011 to find out the results.)
