This review of the Pam Grier Blaxploitation classic Coffy first appeared six years ago in slightly different form at my old blog.

Michelle looks positively delectable in this glamorous ensemble. If the white jacket/slit-skirt combo is the sundae, then the shades are the cherry on … Continue reading Michelle Monday
