Review: What a great read! - What a great read! Cherry's life has been a wild adventure, and she describes all the ins and outs of how she got fascinated by anything to do with the entertainment industry, all the ways she got involved with it and perhaps most important of all, the places this got her, throughout the years. Including whose bedrooms... Cherry looks back on her conquests (and failures, triumphs, mishaps, adventures, ups and downs) with all the necessary traits, including self humour, pride and paradoxal modesty, melancholy as well as wisdom. But most of all, an honest yet enduring sweetness. Between the lines of her refreshing writing style, you can tell that throughout all the ups and downs Cherry really enjoyed the ride, never took anything for granted and appreciates the front-row seat she had on so much glamourous history. Her enthusiasm definately rubbs off. The result is a book that is impossible to put away. It's such a pleasure to read her stories, and impossible not to get cought up in the flow of it all and keep reading to see what (or who!) else life had planned for her. And how she took control or lost it again, somewhere along the adventurous road. The book follows her exploits up to the point where she's earned the spotlight for herself, ending with an epilogue that quite strongly impresses that the rest would be equally interesting (though perhaps less explicit) a read, which leads to the hope that Cherry will some day pick up the pen again. Until then, we have "Lick Me" to cherish and read again. Or, as Bowie said to Cherry's delight: "Good job, Vanilla!". Great book!!!!
Review: Interesting peek into the music business - I bought this book because many of my friends and acquaintances were in her group over time (though not all mentioned in the book) and some of them made a pretty good career in music and other it did not happen for them. Any occupation that success is based on lots of luck besides skill and talent is risky and may have ended up in sorry states of addiction, and near starvation or close to it. This book is an inside look at that world where connections count, persistence and luck in the music business decides outcomes and lives. The things in her life intersected many famous and many not famous (or at least did not make big money). Even if one does not care in the least about her, reading about her adventures helps learn about his business. It is an easy to read book that one wants to read it from start to finish and I feel I got my monies worth. Her perspective is very interesting especially about how she perceives others around her be it someone who can help her career or a group member that has lots of talent and like her, is making connections to move on to better things. As I said, after decades, I learned a little more about what the people I grew up were doing when we lost contact, and for a time they were in her world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lick Me: How I Became Cherry Vanilla by Cherry Vanilla
*by J***E on October 7, 2010*

I will say right at the start that I am not only an unabashed fan of the inestimable Ms. Vanilla, but also a friend of some 40 years' duration. That said, I tried to put all that aside and read her autobiography with the freshest of eyes, which as I read her stunning confessional, popped like rockets and rolled back into my head. The book is being hailed as "brilliant" and "important" by some really smart people who know all about music and its history. You can read it as musical history if you like, but the story in human terms of a convent-educated, naif from Queens, NY, who ascended to the very apogee of rock royalty is much more fun and infinitely more compelling. Names like Sting, David Bowie, Andy Warhol, Kris Kristofferson, Joel Schumacher and Chet Baker pop up regularly, playing supporting roles to Ms. Vanilla's star turn. Run, don't walk, to the nearest computer and order this book from amazon.com and devour it, as I did. And be careful with your eyes. J.W. Catledge (a.k.a. Jim Pinkston)
