TrouserPress.com :: Poison Girls The Poison Girls — a wise post-adolescent poet/singer/guitarist who wittily calls herself Vi Subversa plus a male backing band — are politicized musical agitators employing rock (minimalist at the start but improving steadily to the point of sophisticated diversity later on) as their means for registering social and sexual protest. It's an exciting document, but the studio albums offer an easier entry point to the Poison Girls' music, thanks to a somewhat varied approach that doesn't carry over in concert.

Rat poison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rat poisons are a category of pest control chemicals intended to kill rats. Mechanical rat traps are one possible alternative to poisons; another alternative is to buy a cat, although cats capable of dealing with rats are relatively rare; in many cultures, hunting dogs have been used instead.

Poison (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Poison's live antics were, however, widely rumoured to have been copied from the band Kix [2]; Michaels' on-stage persona, in particular, bore a striking resemblance to that of Kix lead singer Steve Whiteman. Poison's music, and that of glam metal, was characterised by simple, loud and anthemic guitar riffs, and its image, by flamoyant special effects, costumes, hair and make-up, and a preoccupation with hedonism. Poison's roots, and those of glam metal in general, lay in America's East, and in particular, the sounds and images associated with New York's New York Dolls and KISS, Boston's Aerosmith, Illinois' Cheap Trick and Baltimore's Kix. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Poison_(band)   (1380 words)

Poison Ivy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Poison Ivy is a red-headed woman with green eyes (belonging likely to Celtic ancestry) who is obsessed with plants, botany and botanical toxicology as well as environmentalism and sees herself as one of "the world's most prominent eco-terrorists" (quote Gotham Girls). Poison Ivy came to believe that her powers were killing the children she looked after, so she got Batman to reverse her powers and make her a normal human being once more. Evidence for this is her ability to control what sort of poison her lips secrete (she has used types that were deadly, caused unconsciousness, created hallucinations, and put people under hypnotic control) and the fact that her skin is treated as toxic at some times, and harmless at others. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Poison_Ivy_(comics)   (1949 words)
