Random Thought: Remember the Del Walters ABC/WJLA Channel 7 Investigative Report about Go-Go Pool Parties? (Early 90’s)

December 12th, 2007 by PG Chic

If you grew up in the Washington DC area, you should remember the go-go pool party scandal exposed on channel 7 ABC/WJLA news by Del Walters with the I-Team. I have to share the thought process that resulted in this completely random memory today. For some reason, the name “Trina Boo” came up in conversation with a friend…and Karrine Steffens was mentioned shortly thereafter (I’ll let other area bloggers fill you in on “Trina Boo” and other infamous go-go dancers), which brought up late 80’s and 90’s go-go and reminded me of the Northeast Groovers and Rare Essence pool party scandals.

I remember seeing the 1994 Del Walters news coverage of this story. I also remember that Del was on Oprah talking about the scandal. Del should come back to do a “Where are they now?” special report…lol. I can’t believe that was nearly 15 years ago. It has only gotten worse with many mainstream music videos being just as demeaning. Anyway, the story was interesting back then and still is to a certain extent. Someone actually posted the original news coverage from channel 7 on YouTube. Check it out and watch comments from the late C. Delores Tucker during the broadcast about the go-go pool party scandal.
