Lux & Ivy, king & queen of rock'n'roll, during an interview in a London Hotel on Feb. 1990, as captured by Rudi Keuntje.

guitarworld.com/: "The Cramps (...) songs were about drugs and sex, monsters and perverts (...) And at their heart was a couple. For all the drugs, deviance and delirium, the story of the Cramps is a love story – the story of Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorschach..." ...Kristy Marlana Wallace, as she was known then, used to pester her older brother Jerry into showing her the basics of guitar playing. “Then when I was a teenager, I got even more interested,” she says. “I had boyfriends that played guitar, and I was more interested in the guitar than I was in them. I would trick them into teaching me things.” By the time she met Lux, then called Erick Lee Purkhiser, she was an outsider and confirmed rock ’n’ roll obsessive (...) In Erick she had met her match. He was as batshit crazy about rock ’n’ roll as she was... Lux: "Well, the first time I went out with her, we went to see a rock'n'roll show, and she wore a see-through dress with nothin' underneath it. That's when I discovered she was an exhibitionist... “Lux and Ivy were rock ’n’ roll names,” she says. “We were 24-hours-a-day rock ’n’ rollers (...) Nobody ever talks to me about music or guitar,” she once said. “I’m the queen of rock ’n’ roll, and for this not to be recognized is pure sexism.” (...) “We were watching some awards show and Lux was like, ‘Aw, you’re kidding! If those guys are the kings of rock ’n’ roll then I must be Elvis fucking Christ!’” (...) “It goes back to the rock ’n’ roll tradition of boasting – like Bo Diddley and Howlin’ Wolf,” she says. “It’s a blues tradition to boast about yourself that you’re the king, with the biggest dick, the biggest queen, whatever.”
