   About Shakespear's Sister
Shakespear's Sister was a band consisting of Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit. The band formed in 1988, the same year that Fahey left Bananarama, and are named after a song by The Smiths, though the term "Shakespeare's Sister" predates the song. Detroit exited the band in 1993, and Fahey admitted herself into a psychiatric unit with severe depression.

Detroit was tall, with a soprano voice, while Fahey was petite, with an alto voice; the opposite of what one might expect on seeing them, and it lent a novelty to their performances.

The term Shakespeare's Sister first appeared in a section of the Virginia Woolf work A Room of One's Own, a feminist essay that explores whether a woman has the same opportunities as a man to write and produce quality artistic work.

The band's single "Stay" is their best known work, achieving ..1 in both the UK (for eight weeks) and Ireland singles charts. It was their highest entry in the UK charts, being the only time they entered the top five. The single also became their biggest US hit, reaching ..4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992.

They released the albums Sacred Heart and Hormonally Yours, the latter recorded at Friar Park, in George Harrison's home studio.

Fahey recorded ..3 as a solo album, but under pressure from London Records, it was to be issued as the third Shakespears Sister album. After the first single "I Can Drive" barely scraped the UK Top 30, the album was shelved by the label. After years of legal wrangling, Fahey was eventually given the rights to the album, and in 2004 it was finally given a proper release, initially exclusively through Fahey's website. Fans had circulated substandard bootleg copies of the recording for over a decade.

A greatest hits CD/DVD retrospective was also released in 2004, containing all of the group's singles and videos, as well as tracks intended for the ..3 album.

The band will release before the end of the year 2005 a new compilation titled "Long Live The Queens !" features a tracklisting of rarities and unreleased material including remixes & b-sides.

Let me tell you something that is on most girls minds but they won't tell you that size maters or will they?
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. DTOGA.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from DTOGA.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at DTOGA.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. DTOGA.COM

I'm not sure if I said thanks for the add, so here it is. "Goodbye Cruel World" is one terribly underrated pop masterpiece.

If you watch the above images from your seat in front of the computer, Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calm is on the right. Get up from your seat, and move back about eight feet!! They switch places!!
