History:
(Our Love Story#16/4 (fb) - BTS) - Tiffany Tinsely
was a hard-working blues singer managed by Bruce, who was secretly in
love with her and waited for her after each performance. Her talent
brought her increasing recognition and fame.
(Our Love Story#16/4 (fb)) - After a particularly
stellar stage performance, she passionately embraced Bruce and realized
that she was drawn to him, yet still went out on an unexciting date
with a local jock. The next day, Bruce arrived excitedly with a
multi-million dollar recording contract and the two finally kissed
passionately. Bruce declared that he wished to marry her, but she
rejected him, saying that her career came first. Wealth and fame wasn't
enough for her, she needed international recognition that she was the
best, and he walked away, both heartbroken. That night, she sang the
blues more intensely than ever and, emotionally pained, changed her
mind, wanting to be with Bruce after all. Instead, she went back to an
empty room with a note from Bruce that he had quit as her manager and
left.
(Our Love Story#16/4) - Two years later, Tiffany had
still not heard from Bruce, but she hoped that he would eventually hear her songs
to him from the stage and respond.

Tiffany Tinsely may have been her stage name -
although such a flamboyant name seems incongruous with blues music.
These romance stories often had the flavor of the time in which they were written, and nothing else to tie them into Marvel's sliding timescale. As such, it's likely that the stories took place at the time of publication rather than being part of the sliding timescale.

Tiffany Tinsely has no known connections to:
Bruce was Tiffany Tinsely's music manager, helping to
organize her tours. He was wildly in love with her, but held back due
to her pursuit of her blues singing career. He secured a million-dollar
contract, finally gaining a passionate kiss with her, and he declared
his desire to marry her. But she refused, feeling that it would
interfere with her career, so he quit by leaving a note at her
Hollywood Bowl concert. However, he didn't realize that Tiffany had
changed her mind during that performance and she would henceforth
always sing the blues for him.
