(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)

AGE: Scientists in Findlay, Ohio, are studying the rings around her braids; the verdict not in yet.

PROFESSION: Barnstorming Iron Curtain countries with her unique Slavic/Yank/Brit screechius maximus.

HOBBIES: Translating Nina Hagen records back into German; perusing Shaved And Shackled magazine; testing new bottles of Bols at Lili’s in Hamtramck; listening to Audubon cassettes; shattering vodka bottles at 20 paces; headbuffing night school.

PROFILE: From the mighty Motor City a tiny teen traveled; her destination England, fame and art school. Meeting her dynamic Daddy Warbucks, little Lene tried R&B, sold her screeches to horror films, discoed with Cerrone and, finally, became a Stiff. And the rest is mystery. Drink up, Lene—and you too, Baldie!
