This photo was taken at a friend’s birthday in Encino around 1978. That fox on the left is Vicki Razor Blade and then you have Steven T and Cherie Currie of The Runaways. Of course Kim Fowley has his name written all over this photograph. It was Kim’s dream to have blonde haired and green eyed rockers touring all over the world!

My pal Harvey Kubernik had his birthday party at a party house out in Encino in 1977. Everyone was there including Vicki Razor Blade and legendary producer Kim Fowley. Kim discovered both The Runaways and Vicki. He created Venus And The Razor Blades just for his queen, Vicki. Oh yeah, as you can see, I was not the only photographer at the party, that is my mentor and pal Richard Creamer in the middle of the photo!
This was some sort of Kim Fowley hustle on the Sunset Strip. Here is Jackie Fox, Cherie with her twin sister Marie Currie and of course the lovely Vicki Razor Blade. Does this look like 1977 or what?
Photography in 1977 never got much better than this! This was the apex of my career!
Back in 1977 I would photograph all of Kim Fowley’s bands with a roll of film. Black and white and color. Today, I am photographing them again. This time I am slipping in some digital to the hustle!
Another Kim Fowely band, The Industrialists photographed in Kim Fowley’s apartment in 1978.
