Lydia (, take me out to) Lunch
 

She was in the No Wave band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, who SY has cited as an influence and referenced in their videos. She was also hott as shit:

''Underground legend Lydia Lunch presents witty and provocative recipes for feeding your friends and lovers nourishing, deeply satisfying food while maintaining a hedonistic downtown lifestyle. Lydia Lunch earned her name from cooking up banquet feasts out of whatever ingredients were on hand for fellow starving artists and musicians, including Sonic Youth, Suicide, Henry Rollins, the Dead Boys, and the Butthole Surfers. In this book, she draws on her experiences and the celebration of a healthy obsession for foods that not only satisfy our craven desires but are also nutritious, delicious, and exactly what a body hard at work and play needs. This book serves as a provocative guide to setting the mood as well as the table for a rousing three-course meal—whether a quick pick-me-up after a long night, a party for a gang of pranksters, or a much-needed weekend detox to replenish the body after being depleted by glorious overindulgence. Written with sass and dripping with sexy personal asides from the racy author, this volume is an irresistible addition to every hedonist’s library.''

Oh I see what you did there. As in "I'd like to take her up the aisle*".



*This is a double entendre. Take her up the aisle (as in a church aisle) sounds a bit like, "I'd like to have anal sex with her."

Rihanna is hotter, sry.

I've never had any great inclination to talk to "famous" people I see because other than "I really love what you do" what do you say that a thousand people haven't already said?

I stood next to Lydia Lunch at the bar prior to a show she was doing about 20 years ago and aside from thinking "She's so SMALL" I just ordered my drink and talked to my chum, all the while glancing over at LL thinking "she's so SMALL".

It's great that she's so small though, it makes it easier to look down her cleavage.

Surprisingly, it's quite realistic.

Aside from "Orphans," which is seriously awesome, severe musical overratement. Never resonated with me.

I'm a default fan but tend to agree. I suppose I think of her as being more like a mascot than anything else.
