  1. Lux often wore heels on stage.

    After spending more than 30 years freaking out the squares, Lux Interior, the flamboyant lead singer of the Cramps, passed away on Wednesday morning due to an existing heart condition. He was 62.

    Interior, born Erick Purkhiser outside Akron, Ohio, and his wife, Poison Ivy (nee Kristy Wallace), formed the Cramps together in 1976. The legend goes that they met in the early '70s when he picked her up as a hitchhiker in Sacramento, Calif. After a brief spell back in Akron, they moved to New York City to be a part of the punk scene that was bursting out of the legendary dives CBGB and Max's Kansas City.

    However, with their heavy rockabilly influence combined with their love of other 1950s trash culture iconography such as grade-Z horror flicks and lurid EC comics, married with Alice Cooper's antics and the Stooges' bravado, the Cramps somehow turned out to be genuine originals. The band called its unique style "psychobilly," and it had a measurable impact on punk and garage rock, shock rock and the rockabilly revival of the '80s. The Cramps went through personnel almost as fast as they went through record labels, with Lux Interior and Poison Ivy remaining the only constants.

    Interior was as infamous for his onstage antics as much as his howling yelp and was even known on occasion to projectile vomit into an adoring crowd. His memory will be kept alive not only through the Cramps' extensive discography, the throngs of bands they influenced and an entire breed of feral frontmen following in his footsteps but also through a bass drum on display in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his former home state -- customized by Interior when he smashed his head through it.

  2. I need to get myself a new pair of jeans for my wife to accept me using my heels at the philippines.

    The reason for this is that my wife want my jeans to cover as much as possible of the heels.

    I was planing to have a pair of jeans made a way so the rear of the pants legs are longer than the front of the legs.

    This to avoid the pants to curl up over the front of the boots.

    Anyone tried this before?

    BOOTCUT

    I wear women's boot cut jeans. They are cut longer in the back.

  3. I am old school. I am still not sold that a digital image can produce the range of tones, the depth of field, and the color that film can produce. But I also think that vinyl LP's sound better than CDs and the government is covering up Roswell and the moon landing was faked...well you get the idea.

    So I am not the only one who believes that Digital is a Close Approximation of the real thing.

    Minolta X-700. Had 2, both stolen, now on my third.

    For quick shots for work, I have a Fujifilm FinePix.

    Guess it is time to dump the VHS player and get a decent Digi Cam too, eh?

  4. I don't know...last time I was in New York, I had a hard time finding a Starbucks. Are yo sure they have made it that far east yet?

    LOL

    Yes, it can be hard to NOT find A Starbucks in NYC. There are like 180 of them just in Manhattan!

    I would be up for a meeting in the City.

  5. My own favourites have to be my black patent oxfords with 5.75" heels, which I have laced in my own special way.

    These are them, together with a diagram of how they are laced (the red lines are underneath the vamp).Fiddler

    Thank You.

    I like it. It looks like this method will give a more "even" pull on the eyelets.

    Also good if the laces are a bit long.

    I will have to try this sometime.
