i definitely have a type...

...and that type is toni halliday. particularly toni halliday @ the 3:21 mark. magic.



i love curve. i love toni halliday. a lot. i really don't know how many times i've watched this video. dozens? hundreds? thousands? probably. this was another one of those many videos i saw on 120 minutes back in the early 1990s and it was instantly one of my favorites. why? well, sure, the songs is awesome, yes; in fact, it's really awesome. dean garcia's elastic bass is a high point for me. and flood did a great job with the production. but great googley moogly, toni halliday is smoking hot. i know this will probably sounds lame, but i have such a thing for dark eye shadow and black, black hair. the blacker the better. it's exotic, mysterious, and super duper sexy. is it getting hot in here all of a sudden? oh, toni, why must you smite me so?

anyway, at some point i lost the vhs tape with 'horror head' and i was so bummed. i was so certain i'd never see it again. this was about 1995 or so and the internet was still in its infancy, so i had no idea it'd be so readily available ten years later. so thank heavens for youtube. i love it.

it still amazes me how many people aren't familiar with curve. without curve there would have been no garbage. without toni halliday there'd have been no shirley manson. why eMpTV and radio got behind garbage and didn't get behind curve remains a mystery. well, actually, now that i think about it, garbage drummer butch vig produced nirvana's 'nevermind.' so, you know, he had 'cred.' whatever. i'll take curve over garbage any day of the week.

now i could just find me a slighty gothy, yet emotionally stable [i realize that's a bit of an oxymoronic statment], mormon girl...

curve: horror head
curve: frozen
curve: perish
curve: already yours
