When I was a very impressionable youth I got WAY into Deee-Lite. World Clique, Infinity Within, even Dew drops in the Garden. Actually, “Groove is in the Heart” is still one of my favorite songs. Ask anyone.

I was sifting through images of “Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead” and landed into the lap of Lady Miss Kier (birth name Kierin M. Kirby. Um, how is this real?). She totally did the sixties mod thing ala the B-52′s but so much more through the eyes of a club kid on acid.

Did you know she started out as a punk? Me neither…

I distinctly remember going to Wet Seal and lusting after babytees. One in 17 I still remember said “Man Trap” and had a girl with an illustration of literal beehive on her head. Was Mantrap a brand like X-Girl?

baby barrettes. chunky sneakers. crop top. must be the 90s.

Hey, I was just here. Is that me and James and our new Italian friend? Could be!
