HOME: Teenage runaway.

AGE: Ready, willing & able.

PROFESSION: Out for blood.

HOBBIES: Dancing on the edge, dressing to kill, running with the money, proving that girls can play heavy metal as loud, hot and nasty as guys, man!

PROFILE: Lita first gained notoriety as the chubette guitarist in Kim Fowley’s manufactured all-girl group, the Runaways. After the demise, our heroine disappeared from the public eye, slimmed down, grew attractive, waited for former crony Joan Jett to make the first move, and re-emerged as a heavy metal queen. (We’re still askin’ “Where’s Jackie Fox??”)

BEER: Boy Howdy!
