August, 1976, my pal Dee Dee Ramone backstage (either Golden Bear or Smokestack).

January 27, 1978 at the Santa Monica Carousel, Jenny Lens and Tommy Ramone.

Johnny in the back and mirror, and the man who changed my world, Dee Dee Ramone (RIP) and moi.

Renaissance Fair, 1978 when my whole head of dark curly hair was many shades of magenta and violet, a red purple rainbow.

I usually wore a little gray nightie and vintage kimonos, all of which I still have. I had tons of band pins, rare jewelry and things I made, all stolen.

January 20, 1978

At the infamous Screamers party where NO Hostess snowball was put up my ass. Craig Lee got his facts wrong in "Hard Core California." I was making out in the closet with Posh Boy Robbie Fields when this was taken. I burned him out of the original print, but he's on the negative. [Melanie Nissan photo]

Look carefully during live filming of "Decline of Western Civilization" when X is playing. There's a quick shot of a head, a camera, and a shiny pink metal fish dangling under a dark head of curls, with magenta hair on the bottom part. That's me and I'm wearing that earring in my left ear, on your right side. All gone, gone.
