Subject: Cross-eyed Katie
Having combed the cornfields of East-Central Illinois for any signs of Katerphernalia, I finally chanced on a local record that had more than just the Whole Story poster (and even this was scarce a while back). To my instant glee, I discovered a whole rack of Kate Bush: Wuthering Heights posters. Without hesitation I plunked down whatever it cost and snagged one. So now, for some weeks, cross-eyed Katie has been staring at me as I lie in bed, with that quizzical, miffed, 19-year old glare (her, not me!). My friends and I have scrutinized and rescrutinized this portrait, and we remain lost in a state of awed enigma when it comes to two penetrating mysteries: One, what is that line in the leotard (anyone who's seen the poster surely knows of what I speak)? And two, WHY IS KATIE CROSSEYED? Is she doing this on purpose? Are her eyes weak? Should she be wearing glasses? Contacts? All I know is that she looks so different in this poster than on that Tammy Wynette TKI cover, that I'd almost swear it was two different people. Chameleon, indeed.
