She was no longer waifish, and she was not the least bit androgynous. She seemed rather serious, a bit guarded, but I'm sure it must have sucked to have had a real moment in the sun (shitty movie or no) and then be reduced to carting flower arrangements into the Frick for a rich-person party.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378528518778247285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-30774867211029959772008-10-09T11:02:00.000-04:002008-10-09T11:02:00.000-04:00The lead singer has a bad toupee.

I am just glad my sons are not teenagers now. The Neo-glam Emo haircuts of today's rebellious youth are just ridiculous. This is coming from a guy who sported spiked hair, a faux hawk and finally a mohawk when every Tom, Dick and harriet wouldn't dare go out in public with one. <BR/><BR/>The A's are awesome though. "After last night", "Five Minutes In a Heroe's life", the aforementioned "Teenage jerkoff".Rinjo Njori!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06637737178786110394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-22591546606208261122008-10-09T09:29:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:29:00.000-04:00Ah, the Laughing Dogs.Best album title and cover o...Ah, the Laughing Dogs.<BR/><BR/>Best album title and cover of all time.<BR/><BR/>"The Laughing Dogs Meet Their Makers."<BR/><BR/>With them posed with their parents...<BR/>:-)steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-41360111203416052482008-10-09T09:26:00.001-04:002008-10-09T09:26:00.001-04:00maybe saw them at the Fast Lane in asbury park - ...maybe saw them at the Fast Lane in asbury park - probably played with the LAUGHING DOGS or Johnnys Dance Band! --Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-90305168144531268142008-10-09T09:26:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:26:00.000-04:00Well, I haven't seen it in years, and apparently i...Well, I haven't seen it in years, and apparently it hasn't been available on home video since the 80s.
