BK Basement Kahuna Tiki Socialite Jawja Province, Isle of North America Joined: Oct 14, 2002 Posts: 3618	BK Basement Kahuna Posted posted on Wed, Jul 23, 2003 2:36 PM I am going to start with the bar raised quite high. The first is me at 11 years of age, 1981, 7th grade. It was not long after that Kahuna picked up his usual copy of Hit Parader on allowance day, discovered a new company in the back ads called SST, and ordered his first Black Flag record. It was all downhill from there. Next we see a transitional photo of Kahuna a couple of years later, still wearing an old Slayer tee-shirt but now sporting some Airwalks, a self-inflicted chrome dome, and grey Dickies. Finally we have Kahuna in 1987 looking like STevo from the Vandals (that's me in the back of the pigpile in the Neato Torpedo tee-shirt)with a bleachblonde mop and a necklace I used to wear of a Kennedy Half with a bullethole shot through it. I know for a fact nobody can trump that first photo! [ Edited by: Basement Kahuna on 2003-10-06 12:09 ]

I haven't laughed so hard since the "Sausage Assault" from a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, I have no embarassing photos here at the office (nothing more embarassing than usual, that is) to post at the moment. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

I'll have to dig out and scan some of my vintage pix from the spike/mullet days; not sure I can top these, though....

STCB Sabu The Coconut Boy Tiki Socialite Carson, California Joined: Aug 20, 2002 Posts: 2807	STCB Sabu The Coconut Boy Posted posted on Wed, Jul 23, 2003 6:43 PM I'm sorry to admit, that as I child, I was persuaded to capitalize on the success of my friend Mowgli and publish my own book of adventures. I think about 100 copies were ever sold. In this story, I discover the hidden Temple of Zhan-zhan, where I steal the giant Golden Cinna-Bon of Jhiva with the help of my animal friends, Marmalade The Tiger, and Boku the half-albino pygmy elephant. It's all a load of crock. Sabu

T tikivixen Tiki Socialite Vallejo CA Joined: Aug 28, 2002 Posts: 726	T tikivixen Posted posted on Fri, Jul 25, 2003 2:58 AM Circa 1987-88. I don't want to say the name of the band this reminds me of. Let's just chalk it up to a combination of "Cabaret" and "Rocky Horror" influences instead. Perhaps I can hope for a faint Chrissie Hynde resemblance? Or Grace Slick--the big chin and heavy eyeliner, you know...er...nah. Oh well. Speaking of RHPS, IF I get a scanner anytime soon, the Magenta-As-Leather-Dominatrix pic might just see the light of day.
