Her appearance was striking, featuring kohl cosmetic-lined eyes, high cheekbones, and long jet black wig. When she joined Shocking Blue she made it clear to the other band members that romantic relationships were not going to happen.<br />Mariska Veres died of cancer on 2 December 2006, aged 59. Reminiscing to the Belgian magazine Flair, she remarked about her early fame, "I was just a painted doll (back in those days), nobody could ever reach me. Nowadays, I am more open to people."<br />(Wikipedia)</blockquote><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SLGHAPKCxW0/TaTUNtqv-YI/AAAAAAAAAEg/oDNA6AC6wUY/s1600/Mariska_Veres.jpg"><img style="display:block;

The album "At Home" is probably my favourite of theirs and includes some of their best tracks such as "Send Me a Postcard" "Mighty Joe" "Long and Lonesome Road" and "I'm a Woman" as well as the ever popular "Venus" (which is far from being their best song but if it got people to buy the record then they most definitely got their moneys worth.) In fact, it wasn't until after I saw the official video for Venus on youtube several years ago that I decided to look into their other stuff. Having grown up in the late 80's/early 90's I had only really been exposed to the overhyped & highly commercialized Bananarama version and upon seeing the Shocking Blue video, I grew a whole new appreciation for the lesser heard, and somehow more meaningful original as performed by Veres. "Venus" became my summer jam for a few years before I really began digging into their other stuff and I have yet to come across a song or album that I dislike since then.

This made her easily standout and combined with her beauty and talent, it was easy for Helen to steal just about any scene she appears in even though she was never a huge Bollywood star in the traditional sense. In many movies Helen was reduced to being the bad girl or "other woman" who was often rejected at the end of the film by the handsome male star for a less interesting good girl that he could bring home to mother.

Bridging an unexplored gap between reggae and punk, they wrote intelligently honest and humourous lyrics that your average girl could relate to in an ever dominated, male and fecklessly confused climate of contemporary post war Britain, most famously in 'Typical Girls' containing the lyrics 'looking for something' and 'feel like hell' implying the usual notions of the female species as emotionally co-dependant and physically constrained and their signature interpretation of Marvin Gaye's soul classic Heard It Through The Grapevine </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">(still a popular request on indie dancefloors alongside New Order's Blue Monday to this day) the Slits spawned a gaggle of admirers such as Mercury Prize winner P.J Harvey which is quite obvious if you listen to the lyrics of 'Dress' in which she assesses the trappings of her garment making her body feel like a 'heavy loaded fruit tree' and the notorious grunge group formed by Courtney Love accountable for spawning the 90's generation of 'Riot Grrrl's' up to the latest girl band sensation LA psych quintet Warpaint who hold several parallels to The Slits through being rated mostly on their melodic capability. Yet somehow the Slits never seemed to receive the same level of recognition as their punk contempories i.e The Sex Pistols and The Clash. So let it be said to the likes of Madonna, and Lady Gaga (who according the The Slits as quoted recently in NME is concerned solely with the process of selling sex as a transaction, through which the main motivation is the profiting of rich businessman) you owe these women your artistic freedom. Finally Ari Up -always a bright larger than life character, for all the lost little girls your words have anchored, rest assured your screechy call still rings as clear.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Words by Natalie Wardle</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZyXGblps64M?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZyXGblps64M?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">'I loved the Slits.
