"Rip Her to Shreds"

This is my first shot at listing the things I love. There's no rhyme or reason to the way they come to me...my internal scanner is usually set to random, and sometimes I'll stumble on some bit of trivia or visual that keenly interests and delights the weird little people in my head. So I want to use this opportunity to compile those bits, so they remind me to be happy.

My first love-thing is the song "Rip Her to Shreds," by Blondie...I love the way she describes this chick, whoever she is:

1. "Check out those shoes"

2. "She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues."

2. "Miss Groupie Supreme"

3. "Vera Vogue on parade"

4. "Red eyeshadow, green mascara - she is too much!"

5. "She's got the nerve to tell me that she's not on it, but her expression is too serene"

6. "She looks like she washes with Comet"

I'm sure there were a lot of women like this at New York entertainment parties in the '80s. Nowadays you can buy green mascara at Boots, though.

Bye bye, sugar.
