If anyone seeing my photos remembers anything, please write me! It's wonderful to hear what I missed or forgot! I won't post anything you want kept private. My lips are sealed! So write me!!! Please write if broken links, thanks!

Read this first! Jenny Lens interviewed by David Jones and video'ed by Dave Travis. Very comprehensive and will answer a lot of your questions. I don't have time to answer emails and phone calls or else when will I post pix?

Read this secondly!! Interview for Alice Bag's tribute to early Women in LA Punk (also on her site at http://alicebag.com/jennylensinterview.html)

Introductory random thoughts, 4th of July, 2004 -- a few choice comments about Iggy, the Clash, Blondie, Patti, Damned, X, Germs, Weirdos, Skulls and more in the very early days of punk rock.

Feb 1977: Screamers Party for Blondie and the Ramones, by Richard Schaefer in Lisa Fancher's "Street Life" fanzine. Proof I was the Ramones "numero uno fan and famous paparazzi in her own right."

Dee Dee Ramone changed my life -- a few of my many Ramones stories, written after sweet sad Dee Dee O'd.

My bio, kinda, just rambling thoughts . . .

Jenny -
First of all, adjectives: this is beautiful, poignant, true. Like all my favorite writing what you share here is honest, born of experience – both painful and joyful — and intelligent. It’s wonderful to read, and important to get out into the world. It’s your own perspective on the LA punk experience and it’s better than 99% of what I’ve seen in print on the subject. Not that writing is a competitive pursuit, I’m just trying to say that I like it more and I think you did a better job than most of the writers who’ve written on the subject matter.

My faves to date are, have to agree with Jade on this one, Craig Lee in Hardcore California, Shredder in HC California (and everything else he writes!), Pleasant Gehman in the liner notes to the LA installment of the Rhino DIY series and the Germs MIA, [I have photos in both] and . . . well that might be it really. I always like Al Flipside’s writing, too. Of course Kick Boy is still LA punk’s ultimate scribe as far as I’m concerned. [no one can match Kick Boy!! jenny]
David Jones

Thank you both for the insightful interview... I’ve passed it on to a few people. Jenny, you are so full of surprises... someday you are going to have to write that book. I’ll never be able to look at Iggy Pop the same way again!

Thank you for forwarding your thoughtful interview...really great stuff... Another thing that we [you and I] had in common...hatred of Farrah F.M. [Farrah Faucet Minor, "she had to leave Los Angeles . . ."]. She tortured me constantly because I refered to her as a Dumb Blonde Groupie in a piece I wrote...what white trash . . . like you, the day she left town was one of the happiest in my life. I was at the Whiskey the night she picked that fight with the Dictator’s girlfriend...what a piece of work...I NEVER understood what K.K. saw in her.....

Alice looks amazing!

Thanks for the mention...also Natasha was one of my group of friends...we actually brought her into the scene.
[I loved shooting red-headed Natasha, always so sweet and quiet. jenny]
