Not content to let her ex-husband Philip Smith steal the spotlight with the recent news that he's been promoted to the top of the powerful Shubert Organization, good old Tricia Walsh-Smith has resurfaced with a music video that can only be described as breathtaking. You remember, the blond with the crazy eyes who posted videos on YouTube excoriating her husband during their bitter divorce (which ended—or so we thought—with her eviction from the Park Avenue apartment they shared).
Anyway, she's baaack... And dressed like a dominatrix in a music video for a "song" called "I'm Going Bonkers"! As if you needed any further reason to watch it, here's a sample lyric: "All my dreams squashed in two / Danielle Steele where are you? / I need romance can't you see? / Tied in rubber ecstasy" Or something. The horror. [Via Cityfile.]

It's not very remarkable. Seems like average for YouTube. The next thing down is a group of three frat boys playing brooms and lip-synching.
Nice to see Diamanda, but I liked her earlier, shrieking style, as in Saint of the Pit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.... The later stuff seems a bit poppy. Way out of Tricia's category, anyway. I used to go to concerts where she also set fire to her clothes (but only after taking them off. You can't have everything.)

Nobody can't give you back that 3:35 minutes. But perhaps this will erase the memory of it. I submit this as a video reply.
I can not believe this person has been allowed to live this long. What next she moonlights as a dominatrix, oh gosh the train wreck just keeps hitting me over and over.
Looks like Sex in the City run amok.

Her ex should have taken his name back in the divorce, too. Why a woman who's divorced wants to keep a hyphenated name is beyond me. Of course, she was always bonkers anyway, notwithstanding the supposed song in the video, which I refuse to watch. I'm not giving her any more hits and I value my sanity too much.

When I saw that headline I actually had to think for a minute 'who's Tricia Walsh Smith?' Then I realized.
Maybe if she went away just a little longer I would have been luckier and managed to purge any possible memory or her from my brain cells.

Incredible, just incredible. With that kind of talent there is no end to what the woman can do. Obviously it's not in the dance field, for she dances kind of like a spastic who has not the slightest clue about rhythm and moves her body and limbs as if they are attached to someone raised in California in the late fifties. Her voice is very English, kind of like Lesley Gore's if only she was English.
Perhaps her next voyage into the music business should be titled, "I'm Going Yonkers."

Isn't there something she can be doing to promote congestion pricking or fixed gear bicycles?
