Kind of reminds me of Kim on a B.H.D. (bad hair day). :shock:
I am sure it would not look out of place in an Irish Lough selection box. ;)

So, music videos..... what can you do with this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0JvF9vpqx8

Hans - You have perfectly captured my past week, as I prepare for the Christmas holidays. This looks just like my hair, after I take off my Santa hat.

In all seriousness, I love this fly. Wonderfully wild fly, that has the look of a "catching" fly. You produce well under pressure.

David Bowie alone is spectacular, but GAD added to the mix, or solo, is completely over the top! Gail is more than dynamic, she is a force of nature, transforming fully regardless of the music she is performing. If you haven't fallen in love with this talented woman you might want to check her other video's out on YouTube. Thanks Hans.

Fantastic track. Exceptional, but you know I was hoping for a Ziggy Stardust Caddis. A full glam pupa.

Seriously, the crawdad blend in a split thread is always very lively.

Regarding clips Hans, I'd rather be hairdresser to Gail Ann Dorsey than to Under Pressure ;)
How hard can it be?
