Many moons ago, when the Go Go Box Whore reigned supreme, the guy most of us refer to as Paul or sometimes Dante inspired a slew of tributes and imitations. One was this girl, maybe 18 or 19, who hung around Beat It with that whole crowd of Orange County kids that ended up promoting and DJing Moscow. She always stood at stage right and, hence, wore her Stanley emblazoned with the phrase "Right Stage Whore." My male friends loved Right Stage Whore. She was little and cute and wore a studded belt. She was also one of the first to perform the emo dance, wherein club kids embrace their suburban teen angst and twitch away, sometimes to a beat. (This girl was more on beat than most.)

Tonight at The Fonda, I was convinced that the girl from Shiny Toy Guns was the former Right Stage Whore. Then I looked up the band on MySpace and realized that girl from STG is named Carah Faye and I'm pretty sure that RSW was not named Carah Faye. I would have remembered a name like that. I would have thought "Oh, like Tammy Faye" (also, Hilary Faye for fans of Saved). The similarity in appearance and dance is striking.
