Po.. Po... Po... Poserface... Meet Dale Bozzio








(From Lady Starlights Blog)

"Ok so this isnt rock n roll, but i was compelled to write about Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons upon realizing that there are people out there who dont know who she is!!!!

She not only inspired Lady GaGa (which I must shamelessly admit, was a result of my insistence that she do so..), but also was clearly the inspiration behind Jem and the Holograms.

And she was my first girl crush….

She wore electrical appliances, bubble wrap and gardening equipment to name a few.

A former playboy bunny, she worked with Frank Zappa and formed new wave band Missing Persons in 1980 with husband and Zappa drummer Terry Bozzio. (in my research I learned that she was actually sentence to jail this past wed…but that a proverbial other show).

Please google her for more, there isnt enough space on my entire blog for all the amazing looks she served!"

MY THOUGHTS:

"Gaga is a great writer with a beautiful voice... had Lady Starlight not directed Stephani to become Dale Bozzio, she would have just been picked over for another pop star with a pretty voice. I am a huge Gaga fan, and the entire music industry is just a carbon copy, so I am not surprised, I commend her more on her voice & natural talent."

  1. Dude, when it comes down to it, everyone is a copy off each other. Barely any originality exists nowadays, look at movies. Everything is a fucking remake. You either have to be mad creative or it is just impossible. I guess I'm ok with the artist if you don't just lip synch every song. Meh, this blog was as crazy as I thought it would be....DUDE, you forgot to post a comment on my page!

  2. I'm just relieved that I'm not the only one who remembered Missing Persons and Miss Bozzio. I was beginning to wonder if Lady Gaga was her daughter. (It woulda be kinda neat if she had been.) The similarities, to me, are uncanny. I remember watching Dale Bozzio on American Bandstand (or some other oldies show) and LOVED the acrylic bodice she wore. LOVED it.
