Marie, Vickie & Cherie San Fernando Valley 1976:

I was hired by Nippon Phonogram Records in Japan to do this session of the Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie at her Van Nuys home. I previously photographed her on stage, backstage, hanging out, etc. Her twin sister Marie, pictured on the left, also became a singer and the girl in the center is Vickie Ronald, with whom I attended Van Nuys High School. Record producer Kim Fowley later discovered her when he transformed her into "Vickie Razor Blade" in a band called "Venus And The Razor Blades." Like me, they all wanted to get out of the Valley to the other side of the hill to discover the magic.
