Greetings to the New Brunette

About Me

In short: I'm a rocker. I rock out. Furthermore, due to the adolescent behavior of a few, there will be no adds without some note of introduction first. It's only polite.
Otherwise, the usual...Obssessed with the dark, seamy underside of American pop culture -- the 10-in-1 of rock and roll, movies and style.I can eat fire, escape from a straitjacket and pound a 4" screwdriver into my nose with a hammer in an ever so lady-like manner and some other things they don't teach you in finishing school. I have an obituary game. I've been in the society pages. I miss Joe Strummer.I can name every member of the Million Dollar Quartet. I know when a movie is so bad it's good again. And I know all sorts of interesting things and I have some funny stories. (That is of the funny, haha variety.) My new baby: The Pyrate Sisters/font

My Interests

movies AND film, rock and/or roll, vintage, pop culture, schlock, kitsch, horror, b-movies, the "Studio Era", molls, hoods, glamour, tattoos (not mine), obituaries, cartoons, pretty shoes, lipstick, Las Vegas, true crime, pompadours and sideburns (not mine, of course), freaks, geeks, noir, good food and wine, dirty martinis, and long nites out.

I'd like to meet:

NOT TO BE NEGATIVE, BUT YOU DROVE ME TO IT...PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME YOUR BAND -- IF I LIKE YOU, I WILL FIND YOU! I'M SICK TO DEATH OF POP/ELECTRONICA/HIP HOP/EMO BANDS WANTING TO BE PALS, SO THEY CAN CLOG THE WORLD WITH MORE BAD MUSIC.
Someone who can rock and roll. Someone who gets why Las Vegas, Bugs Bunny, and John Waters are so damn funny. Someone who owns a lot of books and has read most of them. Someone who can identify in some small way with Ash (or Evil Ash), Repo Man, and Cary Grant. Someone who doesn't drink herbal teas. Someone who'll never say 'I really loved that episode of Sex and the City when...' Someone who knows all sorts of interesting things and tells funny stories. A sort of Robert Mitchum-esque, Gary Cooper-ish, Elvis-y fellow with less dependence on drugs and alchohol.And, of course, I'm always glad to count fierce, funny women among my friends and acquaintances...

Music:



Soul satisfyin' rock 'n' roll of any sort -- but specifically, The Clash, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, Both Elvis', Ruth Brown, Carl Perkins, The SPecials, The Bellefuries, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Big Joe Turner, Louis Jordan, Iggy Pop, New York Dolls, The Cramps, Blondie, ska, punk, rockabilly, I'm also getting into garage and early punk lately
You're "How Soon Is Now?" ! Everyone
likes you but you still can't seem to get a
date. Be patient, damn it, and stay out those
clubs. They're danmed depressing....

You will be sucked dry by a leech. I'd stay away
from swimming holes, and stick to good old
cement. Even if it does hurt like hell when
your toe scrapes the bottom.

When Big Boobs Meet Small Minds

So, I talked with my liaison at Libby Ross and IRONICALLY the issue with Burlesque Against Breast Cancer is the actual showing of breasts. Yup. Can't have those things out in public...just isn't right...

Thank you, you're a wonderful audience...

So I did my first show in front of "norms" last night. Real mixed bag. First off, they barely look up from their drinks. I think they glance up, decide if they know what you are and then go back to d...

What the Easter Bunny Brought

I dropped Tyler an email this morning wishing him baskets full of candy and porn, because I figured that's what he'd ask the Easter Bunny for if grown ups could do that (and presuming he likes candy)....

It's So MF*in' Obvious!

I wasted six years plus of my life courting the muse of film.  What a sucker.  While I was sucking at the indie movie teat of Alex Cox, other people were getting smart and learning to work t...

After years of fighting it, I finally succumbed to that primal NY Jew urge and headed to Florida.  To my credit I had not been since Epcot was brand spaking new.  You do the math. I avoided ...
