Purple Hazing

Pam was a local singer in the 1980's with a band called Female Trouble, and we used to work together at a local independent record store called The Music Man actually located in a Norfolk area shopping mall around the 1989-1991 time period. What I remember the most about her was that she had a powerful voice, was a back-up dancer in a Doug Lazy hit video, and was really into the band Warrior Soul. I recall this one time when a yellow parakeet from the pet store down the way from us got out and flew down to our store, clinging to the ceiling lights, and Pam and I spent most of a boring afternoon trying to get it down. I was pushing Pam on one of those big rolling ladders up and down the aisles while she tried to grab for the bird, which mocked us by waiting until her hands were inches away before flitting off to another fixture across the room. Mother of God, we were laughing so hard. Funny what sticks in your head twenty years later (see previous post).



Purple-haired Pam now performs in New York City and appears regularly in Troma comedy/horror films, including Tromeo And Juliet, Toxic Avenger 4 (Citizen Toxie), PDS Massacre, and Poultrygiest, to name a few. The girl's still a wild child, I gotta give her that. But she's still got that voice!



Go Purple, go!
