Mary Weiss (The Shangri-Las) : The Shangri-Las were in London doing Top Of The Pops and Ready! Steady! Go! Dusty was having a very large party in her flat. It started out all civilized, nice French doors and antique desks, but she liked to start food fights. And she started one and I'm hiding under this lovely French desk with her manager and food and fish are flying by. They were actually throwing pies later in the night. So Mary Ann (of the Shangri-Las) goes to put her boots on and they were filled with fish. Dusty was a kinky girl, but a true talent. But Mary Ann got even with Dusty. She waited and waited and The Next Time we were with Dusty at the Brooklyn Fox, Mary Ann put fish in Dusty's shoes.

Dusty also flung crockery at The Fox. There was this place where she bought a ton of cheap crockery. We learned the fine art of throwing plates there. Stand at one end of the corridor and fling it with all your might. It makes a loud crash and gets rid of stress. Parts of Dusty were very self-destructive, but the other side of her was so much fun.
