So far, that makes her part eyelinered rocker, part sensitive troubadour. And she's an aspiring videographer, photographer and Web designer, too. The portal to all of her endeavors is AliciaSolo.
com. YouTube: "Date With the Night in Lawrence," a short film by Alicia Solombrino: "I've only just begun," she says, her catlike eyes crinkling as she grins. But the stars suggest that Solombrino has a hard time finishing things.
That's certainly true of her conversations. Also, her solo album was due out a year ago, and months can go by between updates on her Web site. But it wouldn't be fair to call such a busy girl a slacker.
Even her partying has been put to good use. A video that she made of a New Year's binge, titled "Date With the Night in Lawrence," won an award on YouTube. And then there's the one big distraction that she so far hasn't fallen victim to: sex.
If you've seen the Beautiful Bodies or just her own, barely covered by lingerie in pictures on MySpace it may be hard to believe Solombrino's virginity claim. But the woman who sings a song called "Touch Me (But Only If You Know How)" swears that no man, including the two members of the whom she has dated, has convinced her that he actually knows how. Since she let the secret slip in a March 29 story, Solombrino seems even less inclined to give it up.
She fears intimacy, and outlasting her peers has become a kind of game. Solombrino is one of those social butterflies who won't let anyone too close. "I've learned that you can't depend on other people," she often says.
But in true Gemini fashion, Solombrino is also just not that interested in spending so much time with one person. "Seriously," she says coyly, "I could see myself dying a virgin." But whether Solombrino ever sheds her chastity belt, she sure wears contradiction well.
See for yourself when the Beautiful Bodies invade the Grand Emporium on Friday. So far, that makes her part eyelinered rocker, part sensitive troubadour.
