I have been a fan of Poison for about a year now, thanks to a friend that introduced me to a c.d. of theirs, and they kicked butt when I heard them, And hearing about the fight, sucks big time, I would hate if anything ever happened to the band, ever since I heard their c.d. I have played every song on my guitar, I have also played a couple of songs from them on stage at my school, in support of Poison, I know I can never sound excactly like poison, but I try my best and I practice everyday for 4 hours a day trying to play like them, I love the video Unskinny bop, Just to tell you Bret, I can never dance like that in my life, I love that dance that you do, its really cool.

C.C,

I never reached the fame that you did in ROCK with me being a simple Venus/swim suit model in Europe, but I experienced the displacemnet, competitive insecurities, travel, excessive drinking, instant demand for me out of no-where, Schedule demands, access to ANYTHING to 'Cope, stay up and /0r keep working'...butt kissers, enabler’s and 'Felonious' people (my verb) that were happier that if you were 'Numb' then you were content and easier to take advantage of.
You know the type, the instant 'New Friends' when you were successful and those that bailed when you were on a down slide.

I Held my own. In truth? I am an Iowa Girl, born and raised. Not your typical one, so what I have heard. I grew up with brothers,played football, baseball, basketball...you name it. Until I grew boobs and was banned. HA!
We had chores and you always carried your own. To break away from a strict household was...well I am sure you may know.

Reguardless...I survived whatever path I chose, and with grace. For the most part. I definately was not in the public eye. So to speak. But just because there are people out there digging up your dirt because you are famous? There are also's out there minipulating your mind that you won't be unless you do..

Currently I am a sports massage therapist raising two little ones on my own. No drama. My girl's and I are very very income wise set via Moi. I unfortunately have to travel with an NFL team, but they go with me....or the little one does.
I am gung-hoe and on the go 24/7.

Anyway, I commend you for your gumption and balls of steal coming out of where you were at, pushing on and having even more balls to do it in public!! I have never been to California nor New York other than a layover...I plan to keep it that way. California is going to drop off into the ocean any way someday....HAHA? Karma? (Can I draw up a list of people I'd like to move there before it does?)

ANYWAY....Take care! You are FAR more GORGEOUS now then you ever were when I was growing up listening to you on a small ghetto box in my lil' car because my 'Detassling' job couldn't buy me a better car then a 78' Subaru with A.M Radio! (IN Iowa, you work at 14...HAHAH!)

Know what though? THOSE WERE MY BEST TIMES/SUMMERS AT THE BEACH (yes we have them in Iowa) EVER WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS! Dirt poor and finding the best fun in the silliest and most over looked pleasures...are the keys to a successful life and more memories to come! Remember that if you have forgotten! I have a tire swing to the lake behind me that I jimmy rigged off my Tree by my townhouse. (Totally illegal and against the townhouse community rules)...um, K..anyway... Until they catch on to me and the snow melts? I double dog dare ya!

Peace out!
God Speed!
C.J Hart
