"WITH MY COLD DEAD HANDS I'll touch myself..."

The girl could party hard, she was at a blow out I went to during 88 or so, she was drunk, high and very randy.

R.I.P.

In reply to aussiesmg:

Umm...so...was she touching herself???

It wasnt herself that day.

I wont say anymore here.

In reply to JThw8:

Wow... that would have made him about 60+/- during MASH. He didn't look that old.

I (vivdly) remember the "touch myself" video. Yes, vividly...

This was the first I've heard of her passing.......sad really, she was still fairly young.

She had MS and breast cancer, not a good way to go.

In reply to Jerry:

That video was on MTV a little after my time, but I do remember one of their videos from the early 80's, "The Boys in Town".

That was our prom theme.

Now that is funny.

I saw them pre-"Touch Myself" at the Antenna Club (Memphis) in the 80s. Can't really recall who they were opening for, but most of us were there to see that band instead (the Psychedelic Furs, maybe). Girl got so pissed off, she was running around at the end of the mic lead's reach yelling "WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO US?!?!" over the PA.

she was only 6 years older than me. i hate hearing about people "my age" dying of non-accidental things. then again, it reinforces my belief that i'm plus three sigma!

Agreed. Not a great combo. Either one on its own would suck bad.

Most people remember "I Touch Myself" but the Divinyls made some really great records and Chrissy used to really challenge and intimidate audiences in the early days. Case in point is this absolutely killer version of Boys In Town. Great Song and awesome performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAXthBSkNK8
