Rock and Roll Baby!

You Are a Chick Rocker!
You're living proof that chicks can rock You're inspired by Joan Jett and the Donnas And when you rock, you rock hard (Plus, you get all the cute guy groupies you want!)
What Kind of Rocker Are You?


This is pretty funny to me! You see I was in a band...years and years ago. It was a "new wave" band back in the early 80's. Damn-I wish I had a picture, you wouldn't believe it if I showed you. My "costume" was always black leather. I adore black leather.

Usually - and remember I was in my late teens early 20's - it was a black leather mini skirt. That and my favorite leather jacket. The tops were always bright. Pink, Orange, Green. Bright bright bright. My hair was really long so I wore it on top of my head in a fountain pony tail with a bright pink streak down one side and a coordinating color (with what ever top I was wearing) on the other side. My make up? Pale with grey blush and black eye make-up. My nails? Long and red. High high heel pumps were the shoes of choice - easier to kick off. We rocked. No mamby pamby stuff for us.

And the worst part was there were 2 female singers. Me and Rachel. Rachel was the exact opposite of me. Tiny tiny tiny. Wore a size 0. Short hair pitch black. Wore nothing but white leather and usually pants. When I sang a set she had to dance. When she sang, I danced.

Damn - we had us some fun. The funniest was the time we were the first rock band to perform in a country bar that was trying to convert. In South Dakota. Yeah - we got run out of that town.

Anyway - I just thought this was cute when I saw it over at ALa's place....

I got Emo rocker. Weird... I may have to post it.

I'm still trying to picture you dressed that way. Cracks me up. It's like people trying to picture my now very conservative Mr. GQ husband with hair down to the middle of his back.

"Wore nothing but white leather and usually pants"

I've been reading you via rss and had to come back to see the image via my Treo. It was a bit frustrating waiting for it to load but it was worth rereading. It inspired a post on my own rock memories of my own at my old blogspot. I put part 1 tonite and part 2 goes tomorrow.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
