Searchie Going...
...Banshee!!.In her most recent post, Searchie has let her reading public know that all signing appearances, when her book is published, will be made by her body double, Siouxsie of Banshee fame.
Since Siouxsie and her Banshees have gone their seperate ways back in 1996, job opportunities have been slim for Ms. Susan Ballion. But now, with the possible release of Searchie's book in the coming years, we may once again be subject to the "ruby red lips, kabuki pallor, blackened raccoon eyes" that the punk-chanteuse Siouxsie had brought back from the earlier decades of the 1900's. The reclusive Searchie, wrapped in her many veils of mystery and intrigue (is the number past SEVEN at this point?), has once again displayed her wit and her savvy. For those of us who, aside from not being able to leave appreciative comments on her blog (Yes! I was given a window of opportunity one short time ago and I, like Carlos Beltran this past fall season, choked from the weight of the gift), had thought we'd actually meet/see her when the de rigeur author-signing tour came up...??? Well, seems we will all be skunked.
Searchie, ever one step ahead of her curious readers, seems to be suggesting that Siouxsie has enough physical qualities to do a Searchie stand-in.
How clever is that? Searchie will most certainly cloak her name as author. Why not continue the Vida Misterioso with body-double public appearances? I'm sure Siouxsie will be appreciative of once again being in the public eye, and an educated public eye at that based on the high quality fo Searchie's blog-writing.
Both would be winners as would we, her readers. Searchie's guarded mysteries would remain as such, which is a very good thing. In these too modern times of blogs, sans-underwear wearing, & helicopter-flying papparazzis buzzing weddings, preservation of mystery is a rare state of affairs.
Based on the most-certainly assured popularity of her work, Searchie can also choose to double her public appearance promises. We will be wondering, "Is it Searchie?", or, "Is it Siouxise? ...Only her hairdresser...

That made me choke from laughter! You made quite a nice comment, as I remember – we discussed my favorite candy (Nips) and flowers, which are excellent subjects. But really, Darko, it’s only the hair (and maybe lipstick) that invites comparison with Siouxsie. If you sported my haircut, I’m certain that people would stop you on the street, asking if you were she. But I’d skip the lipstick, if I were you. *cough*MarilynManson*cough*
But instead of Carlos Beltran, I’d substitute Eli Manning.

Searchie,
We here at Verging on Pertinence are solely present for entertainment purposes. So, if laughs, guffaws. or any other evidence of mirth are a result of poring through the words, our mission has been accomplished.
While I have never been mistaken for Siouxsie (nor the cough-inducing Marilyn Manson), suggestions have been made that I cast a Lurch-like figure. Funny, that, as I am not over 6 ft, as Lurch is, nor quite as strikingly, uhmmm, looking. I do have the requisite Slavic Unibrow (which, as we all know comes in handy in rainshowers) and I tend to bellow in low rippling "Uhhhhhh"s, when riled. I also do share Lurch's tepid attitude toward company and his Existentialist view on life in general.
So, in conclusion, not as good-looking as Lurch but, as one with his world view.

At one point when I first started blogging, I was going to name the escapade as Lurching on Pertinence but thought better of it. It sounded too dark and Goth-like.
