[uticaclub]

I have been researching Nancy Spungen's life since i was about 13 years old, i am 30 years old now. The photo i am about to post may disturb some people and i appoligize for that in advance. But i am looking for anyone who has a larger size photo of this, maybe with out the text, this is from someone's icon. I know another copy of this photo is out

I tried searching for that larger image of her but I can't find it and I know I've seen it before. If I have any luck I'll send it to ya.

thank you! it was my favorite halloween costume! there is a great book about her, a biography by her mom, Deborah Spungen called AND I DONT WANT TO LIVE THIS LIFE( the ramones did a song about her called that and one dee dee wrote about her and Sid called "love kills" that i will put on the ramones mix for Gummi!:), but the book about Nancy is really good, it tells alot about her life that others didnt know, like about her mental illness. most people assume that she was a drugged out groupie, but that wasnt the full story! although she claimed to have married Sid while in England, there was never any proof they got married. she loved him alot and i dont know if he killed her, there's lots of theorys on it, like they got robbed. what i think is weird is that when Sid was arrested he had scratches on his face, so yhou would think that they would have taken skin from under Nancy's nails to detemine if she had been the one scratching his face! but i guess they didnt think about things like that back then! plus the lady who did Nancy's

I may sound totally stupid, but what language do you speak? is it similar to Swedish? i think i noticed you use Kroners as money, is that correct? I read alot about Sweden, as my very best pen-pal/friend, Izan(r.i.p.) was from south Sweden! well i wanted to let you know, that if you do speak Swedish that i know that they have the book by Nancy's mom in Swedish, because Izan sent me photos of her Swedish copy! if you can't find the book i can let you borrow one of my copies! i have a few copies, i always get at least 2 copies of my favorite books so that i can share them with friends! i'm glad that my long comments dont bother you! ♥

I ended up doing a search too and when I couldn't get the picture I got frustrated and went to Rotten.com. That took me on a frightening journey I couldn't look away from and will probably have nightmares because of. Heh. But any way, no luck thus far.

Heather, you are such a sweetheart! thank you so much for looking! you poor thing, rotten.com is frightening! did you have to make a username to sign on there? i was looking up something on there months ago and i had to make up a username and give them my email, and now i get all these creepy emails about the weirdest shit from rotten.com! thank you so much for looking! i told brent, he's been on rotten.com w/me and he laughed about it! but thank you so much for looking for me! i know it's out there! someplace!!!! ♥ you rock heather! love you!

[labelmistress]

I haven't been on rotten.com in years. It's gotten so much more grizzly stuff to look at now. I didn't have to make a username, by the way, just went there and clicked around the links.

[ramona315]

wow! i'm amazed! cause i tried signing on under my name, brent's email name and my secret porn email name, lol, and none of them would let me access the site w/out giving email info. i gave up and gave them my aol one, dunno why i did that! but i get spam all the time from them! when i open my spam folder to check the contents(sometimes some good shit filters through somehow, like if someone new emails me from a new email addy, so i always gotta check it!) but when i check the spam it's always the nastiest fucking titles/subjects for rotten.com! i can be pretty crude, and it even grosses me out! now that's bad! i have to give rotten.com the rotten mary gardner test next time she's over, lol, that's the true test! have you seen her fucking purple teddy bear? "teddy rotten" have jodi or i shared a picture of him w/you? that fuckin bear! sid loved it when he was a baby and i have a series of photos i took of him w/the damn crummy teddy bear for my photo class, one of them hangs on our gold frame wall, i think i'll scan it in and post it

I have only seen that picture in one book and it was in my high school's library. It was a thin hardback book in a sieres about crime I think. I scanned it on to a zip drive a long time ago but I don't have access to the zip right now. If I can get it soon I will give it to you. I am a Nancy-head as well and I have two different prints of the book Nancy's mum wrote. There was a hardback first edition of it in the school's library too and I wanted to have it so bad but I never got the chance to snag the bastard. Hah. I haven't seen that pic anywhere else though so hopefully I can get to it for you. Nice to hear you back by the way :) J

[rocklovegrrl]

I totally misspelled series...

[ramona315]

wow! you found it in a crime book in the library? do you remember the name of the book at all? i will take my ass straight to the library tomorrow if you remember, lol

[rocklovegrrl]

After much searching I did find the name it's a Time Life, True Crime Library Book called Death and Celebrity. I think her part in the book is called "Knives and pistols." It has several celebrity murder stories in it. I found three really cheap copies of it on ebay. I searched amazon.com too and found a used copy of D. Spungen's textbook for about $30. I haven't read the Nancy Milford book yet but I do have a book about Zelda & F. Scott that's all about the letters they wrote to each other. I have been lucky enough to catch Susan on a show with Martha they were decorating cakes. I was flippin around and found it, I yelled for Brian to come watch it even though he thinks I'm crazy. It was awesome. I've never known anyone who has met any of her family but I did get to visit her grave when I was coming back from RI on a Greyhound. From down town Philadelphia (the bus stop and Mutter Museum) to King David Cemetery was about a $70 dollar cab ride but damn it was worth it. I took pictures but I have only developed one of the cameras from
