Although it may look like this was shot circa 1984, it was actually filmed in 1994. Jersey fashion takes a while to catch up to the rest of the world. Especially, when that particular era of fashion included big hair, giant hoop earrings, and, the always attractive, top-knot. Other interesting facts:
Everybody’s “got their nails done.”
New Jersey girls LOVE to fight.
In New Jersey, “true love” can be found on the boardwalk and it only takes somewhere between a split second and 3 hours.
Jersey public pay phones may be used as your own personal switchboard.
Lastly, a scrawny pre-teen Jersey chick (who looks a lot like the actress that played Eric Stoltz’s little sister in Some Kind Of Wonderful) can take on 5 attackers and emerge triumphant, AND, even if a GUN is pulled on her, can put a bitch in the hospital…who will later die from her injuries.
Meet the cast of the next season’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” (No, not really.)
Oh. My. God. Kip Winger is such a BABE! Just look at his HAIR!
But, seriously, you have to watch this video if for no other reason than to see his signature move: the holding-his-guitar-at-an-awkward-angle-while-executing-a-360-degree-spin-whip-around. It truly is awe inspiring. Be sure to also keep an eye out for:
Number of twirls: 8 (2 of which are double spins, BONUS!)
Number of hair flicks: 17 (coincidence? I think not.)
Number of David Lee Roth high kicks: 4
Number of belly dances with his guitar: 1
Number of times Kip actually plays his guitar: 0
Cherry on top maneuver: a high kick into a twirl, landed on one knee and finished with a hair flick.
Conclusion? Kip is a much better dancer than he is a lead singer, and Winger isn’t so much a band, per say, as they are an advertisement for hair product.
Every day I find completely useless, yet amusing, information[1] on the internet. This is mainly due to the fact that I have no job, and really have nothing else to do. That’s not to say, if I had a job, I wouldn’t be doing the same exact thing except interspersed with my contractual obligations. I would. In fact, I don’t think I would even consider a job that didn’t include internet access. Huh. No wonder I’m not employed.
I’d like to take a moment here to remind you of the newly installed virtual “tip jar” at the upper right of this page marked “Donate.” As of today, no one has taken it upon themselves to be the first tipper. It is my belief that once one visitor leaves a gratuity, then everyone else will surely follow suit and the tips will start rolling in on a regular basis. As a little incentive, I’ve decided that the first person who leaves me a well-deserved tip will be featured in his or her very own blog post AND earn themselves a permanent spot on the READ ME home page as “My First Official Benefactor.” Don’t wait. Donate now!
ANYshamelessunemployedbeggar, I usually just share the interesting links I come across on my Facebook page, so my friends can have a good chuckle without having to do all that tedious web surfing.[2] Then, the other day I got to thinking[3] and I decided that I was doing a disservice to the loyal readers of my blog by not sharing these links with all of you. Sure, you could probably find all of these on your own, but then you would have the added bonus of my inimitable, witty commentary. So, as of this very moment, I have created a special area specifically designated for these internet gems called “Well, Ain’t That Something?”
