Someone on my Formspring page, knowing I’m a huge Runaways fan, sent me a link to this photographer’s Brad Elterman’s website. Check out his work — amazing.
Vicki Ronald was a stunningly beautiful young girl. We both attended Van Nuys High School. She was on the Sunset Strip night club scene and eventually met producer and living legend Kim Fowley. She became Vicki Razor Blade and the band was Venus And The Razor Blades. This photo was taken at Cherie Curie’s home in the San Fernando Valley in 1977 on a warm August afternoon. I introduced twin Marie into the photo, but to me Vicki was the star of this moment! It’s kind of sad that no one seems to know where she is today.
As you know, I’m psyched for The Runaways movie coming out next week. I’ve been following the flick and posting stuff on my blog since they first announced it was really gonna be a movie. Always knew the story of The Runaways would make a great film. It looks like they did it right too.
Also excited to read Cherie’s Currie’s book, “Neon Angel” You can preview the first two chapters here. I read the original version of the book released in 1989 but I’m psyched for this newly updated rewrite. Cherie talks about the new stuff in the book in this Spin Magazine Interview.
Most importantly, this clip from Rolling Stone leads me to believe the flick has properly captured the insanity of Kim Fowley.
And YES I would love to accept an invitation to an advance screening of the film! Thanks so much for getting in touch with me immediately after reading this blog entry!
