The feet are filthy. How about investing in a mop? Why is the LES always so dirty?

She wasn't "struggling" in 1983. She had several singles charting at that point.

Holiday, Borderline & Lucky Star were all pretty big songs in spring/summer of 1983.

Weren’t Holiday and Lucky Star released during fall of 1983 and Borderline in early 1984? I remember reading that Basquiat was dating her in 1983 and she was still relatively unknown outside of the NYC club scene as he would always introduce her as the next ‘big thing’

Was this before or after she started dating Weird Al and took over a drug cartel?

Really? I’ve seen bigger ones but that one looks like nearly all of the super cheap plungers you find in every hardware store. Do they even make smaller plungers than this?

Her body count in 1983 is still higher than mine in 2023.

By 1983 she was already making money.

Her first apartment just a few years earlier was wheb she squatted in an abandoned building, from what I have read.

Taking a breather after some heavy-duty plunging. In the end she decided to close the lid and pretend that log-jam didn't exist.

Unbeknownst to all of us, there is a batshit crazy woman in that picture. The crazy woman won’t be visible for another 30 or 40 years though.

I lived with a guitarist whose band had a 3 album deal with a well-known independent label in the UK. The band had moderate success in this country, Europe and Australia, touring extensively in each country. He still had a full-time job to support himself.

She was such a Fox. Crazy that she has maimed herself with cosmetic surgery instead of just gracefully growing old. She would still be beautiful.

garysvb t1_jdvbh2k wrote

1983 was the end of her struggles...she signed with a label in 82 and had her first big hit in 83 - Holiday. So, that's probably why the nice apartment.

Especially with how the labels screwed a lot of them back then. Possibly still? I don’t really follow that kind of stuff much but I remember it being a big deal in the early 90s about how many from the 70s/80s got really screwed over in their contracts.
