This Motherfucker's Gonna Get My Metal.

While I'm on the subject of boxes.... take a gander at Christie's Lunch Box collection. Don't mind the shitty cabinets... we are apartment dwellers at the moment. Those boxes are two and three deep. She has a bunch of them. A couple of my favs are the Manson box and a devil head box. Waaaayyyyyy back in 1995 Christie and I lived in a cool old house in the Belhaven neighborhood. Loved that place. Anyway we were gonna go see a Manson show (our first) at Rendon Inn in New Orleans. They were kicking off their tour there in support of "Smells Like Children." back around that time period we would often see those guys out around Decatur St. a lot. Particularly at "The Blue Crystal." They were living with Trent Reznor up on Magazine St. while they were putting that album together. Anyway I bought that lunch box at the Jackson Flea Market and then I just screwed some sheet metal to the front to cover up the original artwork (I think it was originally a Strawberry Shortcake) and then I painted it up with One Shot She carried it as a purse to the show. That devil head I made out of Sculpey and then I decided to glue it to the side of a box. Was never meant to be used, just for looking at. I used to make these little animal and monster heads and glue them to wooden cigar boxes and give them away to friends to use as stash boxes. I did this thing while I was on that jag.
