She's never once thrown the "goathorns".



And when has she ever clutched the "Invisible Orange"? Never,that's when.

Decibel details the bitter history of the still ripe invisble orange phenomenon

By now everyone knows the secret history of the most famous gesture in metal, and who popularized it. Ronnie James Dio claims that his superstitious grandmother threw the horns to ward off—or alternately, give—her Italian peers the mal’occhio (evil eye). Dio apparently understood the dark forces at work in Black Sabbath’s music better than his predecessor, Ozzy Osbourne; Ozzy flashing a peace sign during “War Pigs” was a fairly common occurrence before Dio stepped into the picture. After a short-lived attempt to popularize bat-biting as a national pastime, even Ozzy bowed to the power and popularity of the horns in tacit, realizing that metalheads and old-world Italians needed exactly the same thing: a way of expressing themselves that didn’t involve grabbing their own balls.

But what of the second most famous gesture in metal, a hand position so ubiquitous in publicity stills that even its most ardent supporters claim has already reached its tipping point? Like Clint Eastwood in a Sergio Leone film, this gesture doesn’t even have a consistent name—but you know it’s bad-ass when it appears on the horizon. The least imaginative amongst us simply call it “The Claw,” which is the easiest way to describe what happens when you extend your arms and curl the fingers on one or both of your hands like your heroes in Immortal. According to metal historian and Sound of the Beast author Ian Christe, it’s as if the bearer is in “possession of a great unseen mighty force,” and that force is roughly the size of a large invisible orange or a small invisible grapefruit. Why invisible fruit? To paraphrase former Florida Citrus Commission spokeswoman Anita Bryant: a day without (invisible) oranges is like a day without sunshine.

Yep, she is cool.

Thanks for the post& link. I have a great earworm now.

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW

Although it seems very scientifically based and researched, it's fraught with errors!
