Wanna see Cassandra Uprising in her glory days?
We have been packing for a move and I found these gems:

Spoken Word phenom in her teens (fun fact - she performed poetry to open for Tito Puente!):




Proof that CU went to high school with Anthony Braxton's son Seen at the right. CU is the headbanger in blue!



And she could comment on these better than I:

19. hmmmm
You would think the anti-establishment/political component of both your predilections would have bridged some of that gap....

You mean, she would have been throwing crap at you somewhere? :silly:

Those gaps weren't quite as wide when I was in high school. All the people who were "different" tended to find each other.

21. Oh yes, everything was terribly serious.
And intense and needed my commentary. I'm not quite sure how I managed to be so fierce and insecure all at the same time.

34. Yeah, it's porn star length and I'm getting sick of it.
While I've been doing theater I've it grow. Directors like it and you get type cast if you have short hair. It's stupid but true.

36. Me-ow
'porn star length' :evilgrin:

Hmmm... if I was you I'd cut it fairly short and give that a try before shaving it again. But I'm not you, and if you really love it shaved, strip it off. You'll probably get lots of people rubbing your head, feels sooooo good, no?
