I first met Anya in 1976 or 77 through Diego Cortez (of Guernica fame)..there were some wild moments, or nights with Jimmy Santos...I returned to NYC in 1980 and reconnected with Anya during many afternoons (it was our morning) at her apartment...I think...going there with Vickie Schrott..Trixie and Sheila from the Screamers would be there...I remeber some middle aged man performing at Anya's command..I had the impression he was a senator...maybe I am just romanticizing the moment...she was...

Well, that figures.

Really enjoying reading this... although I have no idea who Anya was/is. Can you find photos and give more of an Idiot Guide to Anya for us boys in da Bubble... Great stories.. there's defo a book .. on an a movie...

Anna Nicole you can see a pic at the gallery at http://www.bbgun.org/ . There are also pics of her in the book Please Kill Me and I think there are some in Making Tracks the Blondie book. I also have a huge book called Punk, it's green with Sid on the cover and they show a pic from The Mudd Club era.Diva indeed! I really do appreciate all the stories-keep em flowing. Shhh...I'm trying to listen to reason...

I couldn't help but notice the fabulous pictures you've been posting in other forums. You mentioned maybe posting some pictures of Anya and if it is possible I know we would all enjoy. Again thank you all for your stories Sorry, I let my emoticons get to me. Shhh...I'm trying to listen to reason...

Fear not child, they's a'comming. I have an eye out for Anya. I'll keep looking. Patience my lamb.

I have some too. Just have to find them.

bobby and daddy thank you sooo much.On a related note Blondie is on Late Night With Carson Daly tonight Shhh...I'm trying to listen to reason...

This topic was down too far, so that must mean there is a story in wait? Please, do share.

Anya was exceedingly glamourous, but it was partly concocted from infamous "heroin glamour" and so has a whiff of horror. The reason no-one who really knew her is posting anything is: 1) there was a tragedy attached to her, inappropriate for bandying around a public board -- 2) because her life was so entrenched in the parallel history of heroin in the NYC Punk underground that quite a few too many famous folk would get tarred with the brush they long ago put back into the paintbox. The...

So sucinctly put Miss S'tan. Anya was a double edged sword. Sharp and beautiful but tragic and self loathing. There has never been another like her.

I know I sound bitter and pissed off but I don't want her to be dead goddammit. I want her here as a member of my Crazy n' Glamourous Old Dame Club. Fuck the bloodie heroin demon. Fuck tragic drug glamour too! She should be here having a Pink Ripper cocktail with Miss Martha and me and planning her next eye-lift.

I know hons..it is trully our beast of burden..our lives full of drug drama and lost friends. It isn't ever easy but it stands as a reminder to the rest of us and to the upcoming children to learn from the mistakes of our fore fathers and mothers. Anya would have loved being alive at this time. She was born into the wrong generation. But let's keep her very best memories alives with the tales of her true beauty and wonder. Forget the rest of it, it serves us not. And besides I'm still here...

The evil old facts of the evil old days DO serve us. In fact, remembering the rot behind the glamour is of intensest moral value. That's part of holding membership in the CGODC : we look at the wrinkles and are okay with every one of them. Glossing over is what serves us not. Writing a puff piece is different from inscribing history. PS: I am not the President. Mother Flawless is. You & Merly are Archbishops. Miss Martha is Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Elbow-Length Gloves. I'm CIA:...

Last night Maripol had a show of her and Edo's poloroids. Celebrating 30 years in New York. (Edo was a very hot photographer in the 70's & 80's -had a bad heroin problem but has since recovered. Maripol was/is a stylist -Grace Jones, Blondie, the early Madonna stuff -rubber bracelets, crucifixes etc. Edo & Maripol shot the Blondie "Parallel Lines" lp. They shot my first record "Jam Hot" -the one with Chi Chi on the trapeez from G.G. Barnum's. Maripol styled my "New York 88" show (in...

So who do you have to blow to find out about these parties. *Sniff*

Maripol unfortunately. Next time you can do her.

But I did her in 1981. Well, guess she needs a replay. (Screaming) BODY DOUBLE!
