PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT OF LIZZIE HARRIS SPEAKING AT THE 2003 NEW YORKER FESTIVAL, ABOUT HOW OPAL & NEV BECAME HER FIRST MUSIC-BIZ CLIENTS: I mean, weren’t they just so great-looking? I know that sounds crazy in the context, but I looked at Marion’s picture of the two of them and thought, Wow, how in the world did this happen? Opal was dark dark dark and Nev was pale pale pale, and they were being physical with each other in a way that felt intimate, sorta taboo and sexy and dangerous, you know? Like rock and roll is supposed to be. Actually, you know what that picture always reminds me of? Those Benetton ads they were doing in the eighties, where they find all these weird and tribal-looking people who live on completely different land masses [audience murmurs in recognition]—you know, one’s from Africa and the other’s from Iceland, and then they stick them together in the shot. Or I guess it’s more accurate to say the Benetton ads reminded me of that picture. Very influential. First thing I ever saw that was like it.
