The island's number one weekly women's tabloid, Flair Magazine began 24 years ago on October 16, 1984. Then, the publication was on a Tuesday. In that year, four women who are still popular today, were making the news and, as we still do today, Flair featured their stories. Here is a little look down memory lane.

Carrole Guntley, newsmaker 1984 (Tourism Director Carrole Guntley: Don't typecast the successful, career woman).

Then: Guntley was featured as the first woman to hold the post of director of tourism in Jamaica.

In the article, she said that, like others, she is a woman who decided on going after her career first. She pointed out that for someone who has had to be aggressive to succeed in a sales and marketing career, she can take off that hat when she is off duty.

Today, she is still in the tourism sector and is director general at the Ministry of Tourism.

Nadine Sutherland was featured in the first Flair issue published on October 16, 1984 (Offstage, she's the shy, 'girl-next-door' type).

Then: Sutherland was a teen songbird who was confident onstage but, off she was pretty shy. At the time, she was in sixth form, gaining office experience in preparation for a managerial course and becoming a budding artiste.

These days, she is a veteran artiste and is the host of the popular TV show, Rising Stars.

Erica Allen was featured in the first My Flair Lady (Multi-talented Erica Allen) on October 16, 1984.

Then: Allen was a popular newscaster on Radio Jamaica. She was not just a radio personality, but also an archaeology enthusiast with a lifelong fascination for the Arawaks. She was also the recipient of the Order of Distinction in 1982 for service in the broadcasting profession.

Today, she is retired from broadcasting but still does consultant training for budding journalists. In addition, she works as an orator at national events.

Susan Alexander - November 13, 1984 (In the happy fruits of adversity and the secrets of a great marriage).

Then: The article stated that Alexander would be showcasing 40 pieces of art in the Upstairs Downstairs Gallery, which was launched four years prior to the article's publication by herself and husband, Neville.

Nowadays Alexander is still in the art world and continues to paint and exhibit fantastic pieces.
