Random Picture Entry: Jennifer Herrema
Sometimes lately we like to skulk around the Venice Beach boardwalk when it's all dusky out, with our absurd new fake-fur vest and big sunglasses and favorite jeans and boots, wishing we were at least half as cool as Jennifer Herrema from Royal Trux. So it's exciting when we serendipitously discover that Jennifer's playing this Saturday at Safari Sam's in Hollywood with her new-ish band RTX. Last time we saw Jennifer was way back in Boston in 1998 or so: She mostly just stood around onstage while Royal Trux played, wearing a gigantic poncho and sunglasses and that great crazy hair, and when the set was over some guy in the crowd yelled at her for a long time and called her a useless junkie (or something). But now we hear that she's clean, living in L.A. and surfing a lot, and she's done some modeling for Calvin Klein and H & M. Either way, we love her forever because she's as tough and scary as Keith Richards but a little bit glamourpuss like Anita Pallenberg, in a way that girls like VV from The Kills sometimes get real close to but never quite pull off so slenchingly.*
