HOME: Rock City Runaway Shelter.

AGE: Too young for you, jerk.

PROFESSION: Ex-Cherie picker.

HOBBIES: Scouring the blackest hearts; defusing Cherie bombs; bang a-gong boxing; collecting sneakers; reading Guitar-Mechanix Illustrated; retaining random Revlon revelations.

QUOTE: ‘Touch me and you die, fool...”

PROFILE: Refuting her righteous Runaway roots, this slick little eyeliner came back with a message: Rock, don't mock. For Valentine’s candy came three Blackhearts, and with a Lear, Jett has returned to rock ’em dead. More power to her!
