Vicky's Secret Fashion SHow

[Pilgrim]

I'm watching the fashion/lingerie show and there's a band playing while the girls walk - the girls look fantastic, but the lead singer is wearing black jeans, boots and a dark grey wife-beater T-shirt; he shows loads of tats and a week's growth of beard.  Looks like he just jumped out of a dumpster. He'd have looked more appropriate if he'd even thrown on a leather motorcycle jacket...not to say some kind of informal fabric jacket.  

The visual discontinuity is striking to me.  I've never understood why so many bands like to look like they buy everything from the discount rack at Goodwill...and in that setting, he looks like a jerk.

<Sigh> I suppose I should add "Get offa my lawn..." </sigh>

We're playing a big corporate event tonight where the theme is white.  We're going to comply for the first set, but for the second set we're going to dress in all black just to mess with their heads a little.

Most all of my girlie undies are from Victoria's Secret - I'm pissed they didn't want my band to play

He was wearing the lingerie underneath.

As an aside, the Vicky girls haven't interested me for about 15 years. They just look too damn unnatural. Call me weird but toothpicks with huge heads and no boobs or asses who look like they can't wait to take another smack hit and pass out just don't arouse me.

Back in the mid-80s our manager called and says "the Penthouse Pet of the Year is throwing a birthday party at Studio 54 in NYC and specifically asked for you guys as her band. Do you want to do it?"

Like, WHO would say NO to that?!?!

The BEST part of the gig was that when we got there, the promoter came over to APOLOGIZE and tell us that "there is only one dressing room, so you have to share it with the Penthouse Pets."

NO SH*T....He APOLOGIZED for that.

What a great night. Having to get naked in the same room with lots of Pets.

It was the ONLY gig we ever did where my bi-polar guitarist didn't "quit the band" afterwards.

I don't think I could play in a situation like that. My bass wouldn't hang low enough anymore.

But if positioned properly, you might not need a strap! 

That's why instrument balance is important.

Seven pounds is the average maximum amount of weight the average erect human penis can support. That figure becomes smaller with an increase in size of the member in question due to the limits of blood pressure and the weight of the erect organ itself. That rules our ANYTHING Gibson (that I'd play anyway) in the bass world. Where are those balsa basses again?
