R.I.P. Chrissy Amphlett

When I think about you I touch myself.

And she used too, on stage, on top of the speaker towers, long before she wrote those lyrics.

Legend.

Yeah sad news, she is indeed a legend, a fun and crazy one and unforgettable in that school uniform.

I thought it was bad enough when she was diagnosed with MS a few years ago, but breast cancer too.

Thanks for all the fun times Chrissy.

Too young. And what a blast from the past.

Don't recall the Divinyls music to be honest, though did see Chrissie perform in the stage musical Blood Brothers in Sydney and she was fantastic.

RIP.

Good comment attributed to her last night in article along lines, 'I hope all women listen to I touch myself and remember to check their breasts every year' I was quite sad to hear of her passing last night, but the overwhelming image was of a woman who'd lived life to the max and of great humour.
