Donna Lethal found this great album cover at Stirred, Straight Up, With a Twist and I found a cut from the album here (listen, don't watch)....now I need the rest of the album! Who knows where I can download it?? The copies I've found are around $100. (yes, Donna, I've stepped on your toes yet again, but I need this album!)

CRYSTAL GAYLE FANCLUB

Marvel unto these strange and somewhat creepy photos of women with extremely long hair.

Side note: Last Christmas, I was in Sweden visiting my American-expat mom and sister. We were all waiting at the station in Örebro for a train to take us skiing when one of the old drunks who hang out there stumbled up to my mother, who has thick brown hair down to her waist, and stared at her for a small eternity. Suddenly, he shouted "VAD HÅR!" and shuffled off. My sister, without missing a beat, turned to my mother and said, "he just called you a whore, mom."

UGUISU NO FUN

Could I have stumbled upon the King of Pop's beauty secret?

Japanese Traditional Beauty Secret's ultra violet light treated Nightingale droppings are completely free of bacteria. They have been used for Kabuki actor & Geisha's make-up cleansing for centuries in Japan and contain a natural enzyme (guanine, an amino acid w/ ammonic bleaching qualities) which has a natural lightening action.
Natural enzyme powder of NIGHTINGALE DROPPINGS helps to remove all traces of dirt and gently exfoliates dead skin cells. Leaves skin soft, smooth and brighter.

The commercial brand name is "UGUISU NO FUN". and there are spas that specialize in its application.
