Okay now , Lois Broderick ... Well Alright !!! ... You are in for it , Lady ... I just read your biography and I am floored by your credentials ... I first met you at the best Natasha Adonzio NYC fashion show I ’ ve seen ... and I have seen quite a few ... Natasha was showcasing for the Illusion Magazine Launch Party held at Club 39 in Manhattan ... It is a beautiful club and Natasha ’ s catwalk was very professionally organized and presented with much deserved style and class ... Her latest and most outrageously sizzling ensembles were presented on some mighty voluptuous and sexy models , like Miz Katastrophe ... to the punk rock music of our own Blondie ... which was being covered by a blonde singer in the spotlight ... also wearing one of Natasha ’ s sexiest awesome dresses ... and there you sat ... demure ... with Natasha ... the punk goddess herself ... Such a pleasure to have met such a remarkable girl in the midst of all this hot punk rock chaos and mayhem ... which is just my type .
So ... Some of the things that immediately caught my eye and attention in your bio were the photographs of Michael Hutchence ... I have been an avid fan from day one ... I am quite sure there is a wide audience out there that , along with myself , would enjoy your stories about him and his sensational band , INXS .
Lois Broderic : I was asked to do hair and make up the day “ of ” the shoot for INXS . My old friend Debi Mazar who was Madonna ’ s makeup artist at the time , could not make it . Deb said just go over and gave me the address of The Bath House down in the EV . When I arrived Annie Liebowitz was stunned it was not Debi and as I explained she agreed I had the credentials . We spent 18 hours shooting that tour book , Michael was running around constantly with his girlfriend while the other band members were very focused and sweet as can be . Engaging and friendly Laura Dern was part of the shoot as well , She was the prettiest girl in the background , and I only got pics of the band . She was really up and coming at the time , and honestly I did not know who she was , other than she must be important . I was only 24 yrs old , and did not know all the stars yet . I had a great time ,
the hair was easy but make up was challenging as . INXS went on to be one of the Best bands in the world , and I got to listen to them for hours ! I am very lucky !
