"In this raw, gripping and searingly honest account Chrissy spares no one - least of all herself.  She tells of growing up a surfie chick in Geelong and losing many friends to drugs.  Of starring in a nude musical and being thrown in jail while busking in Spain.  She reveals how she formed Divinyls and with a unique voice, steely ambition and outrageous stage act powered them to Australian and international stardom with such classic hits as I Touch Myself, Boys In Town and Pleasure and Pain."
