Jane's stopped being an art band when Casey left. Coincidence?

They're in awfully rough shape, but at least they're still . . . something.

I suppose a restoration is too much to hope for, especially one that doesn't turn Casey into Etty.

Guessing this is autocorrect for "Inger Lorre." Although it kind of works either way...

They've been completely discarded. Absolutely fucking perfect.

I am no collector of anything really, but I would KILL for those

No I don't think he threw them away. I think they are still in the storage facility......rotting.

Inger Lorre trashed the Nothing Shocking Twins...not the RDLH Sculpture.

exactly my thought...chicken wire and paper mache on the guts of an old mattress isn't gonna hold up well after 25 years and being moved around over the years

plus the climate inside a LA storage unit isn't optimal to preserving a 25 year old craft project.

If they were in better condition they could be on display at the RnR HOF or some tourist could eat next to them at a Hard Rock

They would be a lovely addition to Experience Music Project Museum in Seattle. That place is brilliant.
Casey and an experienced art restorer could do them wonders and have them looking better than Perry's surgeon did him.

And no matter how many designer purses,shoes or expensive cars "that Lady" can weasel out of being #arockstarswife -she could only dream that she was part of one of the best album covers of all time.

On twins (via Twitter):
@perryfarrell where is the Nothing Shocking album cover sculpture now?

"There was a friend of mine who had no where to live; and so he kind of camped out in my storage unit for about 15 years. Every few years I returned to find he and the sculpture still there- until last time. So to answer your question- I am not sure? Perhaps it’s in someone’s den?"
https://twitter.com/perryfarrell/status ... 1265489924

"Laura, if I knew how to contact- I would probably know where the sculpture went (I do have one idea).. The art piece was broken. A young lady who was sociopathic broke into my apartment, bashed their heads off and bled all over the apartment- leaving her poetry; taking my guitar."
