Introduction I'm just a girl, despairingly now entering her "mid twenties", that's trying to figure out what the hell she wants to do with her life. I'm a Gemini with my Moon in Capricorn and rising sign in Virgo, so I make quite a complicated girl. My main passion in life is rock n' roll music from the 60's and 70's, and all of the wonderful characters - the epic frontmen, sinewy guitarists, wild women, beggars, drug dealers and hangers on - not to mention the clothes, scandals, busts, and sex that it included. My favourite band is the Rolling Stones, and my heroines and favourite women of all time are Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg, the stars of most of my posts. For the past two years, every photo I post on this blog is my own personal scan. I spend all of my disposable income on eBay, buying books, original photographs, magazines, lobby cards, you-name-its featuring the stuff I post about. I spend a LOT of money on this stuff, and a lot of time scanning, editing in Photoshop, etc, so please try to be courteous. If you want to save my pictures and re-post them on another site, that's great with me, but please credit.
Interests 60s & 70s rock n' roll - the great men who made it and the great women who inspired it
Favorite Movies Almost Famous (or rather, "Unititled", the bootleg, uncut edition of the film), Gimme Shelter, Cocksucker Blues, Heathers, Four Weddings And A Funeral, Sense And Sensibility (with Emma & Kate), Pride And Prejudice (the BBC version), American Beauty, Beautiful Girls, Strictly Ballroom, Wedding Crashers, Empire Records, Performance, The Princess Bride, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And pretty much anything starring Johnny Depp or Kate Winslet, or made by Woody Allen.
Favorite Music The Rolling Stones, 70's Aerosmith, Guns n' Roses, Gram Parsons, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Black Crowes, The Faces (and early solo Rod), Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The New York Dolls, The Yardbirds, The Stooges, The Only Ones, Montrose, The Doors, Pink Floyd, LA Guns, Mötley Crüe & many more. Any good rock n' roll, nothing too limp-wristed, made from approximately 1965 - 1991.
Favorite Books Faithfull: An autobiography; A Confederacy Of Dunces; Less Than Zero; Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas; Keith Richards: The Biography by Victor Bockris; Up And Down With The Rolling Stones; Old Gods Almost Dead; Kingdom of Fear; The Great Gatsby; Memories, Dreams and Reflections (by Marianne); lots of other Stones books.
