A musical instrument is not hard to find in the Donut114 household. Off the top of my head, there are at least 2 dozen, including one of Junior_Donut’s guitars, which made the perfect accoutrement for today’s photo.
As a kid, I was always a sucker for the bad girls. Anyone remember The Facts of Life which ran on NBC from 1979-1988? All those private school girls and who did I have the hots for? Motorcycle riding Jo Polniaczek. Before Jo it was Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days. And of course I rocked out to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Here’s where I become the butt of Billy Crystal’s bit he made from real-life question, “Daddy, is it true that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?”
Before I knew anything about the debaucherous lives of rock stars (or in this case their pervy producer) Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West, and Micki Steele (later of The Bangles) formed first teen-girl punk band, The Runaways. Debauchery aside, the cherry, carnation, clover, leather, and musk of Dr. Jon’s Runaway really captures the essence of rock and roll. It’s a shame it is now Unobtanium.
Any 70’s rock star shave has to be done with a Gillette Atra, so out from the shower mine came. I’m kind enough to let Mrs_Donut use it as her daily driver. Damn, if it wasn’t worse than shaving with the Rolls. Well, maybe not, but I could have changed the cartridge.
Tying it all together
Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber is a warm, sweet, gourmand scent that perfectly augments the notes of Runaway. Though it is marketed for men and women, it is another of the test fragrances I acquired that I find to be too feminine. Maybe in the right circumstance, like a Lita Ford concert, it would work.
Daily Challenge
One thing I was never, and that is an illustrator. Yet I seem to have enough creativity to make due once in awhile. Enjoy this pencil drawing of Runaway.
