The Mysterious Girl

I still like this old blackwhite photo because it pretty much shows the person I ran into - 1982 or 1983. Her makeup was less elaborate than in her music videos, and it only made her look better. I cannot recall a precise time nor a place. Old travel records say it was Munich or Berlin.

While all else is faded and blurred, Laurie made a crystal-clear impression. And no wonder, since I was only 14 and she, at 19, was so long-legged and so grown-up. She was fabulous.
