Happy Valentine's Day!
Miss Trouble
When Miss Trouble told us she'd quite like to be Hotpunkgirl of the Week starting on Valentine's Day, we tried to convince her that we only update the site on Mondays. She convinced us otherwise. Bruises, even heart-shaped ones, can be mighty painful!
Miss Trouble comes from the holly-splashed emerald wonderland of Olympia, Washington. But have her tranquil surroundings had a positive impact on her upbringing?
"My life has been mischief since the day I was born, and I wont start behaving any time soon." Says Miss Trouble. "I've been a published rock & roll journalist, a professional band photographer, a one-hour photo bitch, a movie store clerk, a phone sex operator, a Web designer, a touring backup dancer, and a waitress. I am currently a pornographer, a porn star, and a phone sex operator. I hope to become a touring artist & professional photographer after I get my degree in Human Sexuality & Art."
Having a preference for the Billie Holiday version of Rodgers and Hart's "My Funny Valentine," Miss Trouble enjoys more than old-school jazz singers, as evidenced by her enthusiasm for The Gossip, The Gits, Cat Power, Cold Cold Hearts, Loretta Lynn, Blonde Redhead, the Quails, Carissa's Wierd, Murder City Devils, Rolling Stones, Mirah, and the Detroit Cobras. Not content to nod her head to the relaxing sounds of the aforementioned, Miss Trouble likes to get more directly involved with the rocking out. She's got an emo band called You Wish You Knew, and a hijinxing cutlasscore band known the seven seas over as Boneyard. She's also got a fly girl & burlesque duo called Double Trouble. She sings, she plays electric guitar and keyboards, and she knows all the slaying dance moves.
Miss Trouble is the proud owner of No Fauxxx ("Real Bodies, Real Sexy") and Fat Girl Break Down. ("Start a revolution, stop hating your body.") You should have a look at 'em, 'cause, as we warned you earlier in the program, even heart-shaped bruises can be mighty painful.
Owie!
