Janet posted the throwback pictures below from The Velvet Rope era on her social media because today is the 20th Anniversary of The Velvet Rope's album release:

Janet Jackson
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope.
20 years ago today. #TheVelvetRope

push through, Queen!!! I love that pic of her and 'Wilona'. They will always be Penny and Wilona to me. Janet seems like she holds closely to friendships.

Yeah she really does. She has often called her friends her extended family...especially her former dancers.

In fact just last night Janet brought many of her former dancers (who became her friends) from her different eras to perform "Rhythm Nation" at her State Of The World concert last night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles:

Here is the performance of "Rhythm Nation" with Janet's friends/former dancers from previous eras:



Here is her introducing her friends/former dancers from previous eras. She tells little stories about a few of them when she introduces each of them individually:
