Marnie Stern: a musician. If you haven't heard her stuff, The New York Times said her latest work was “the year's most exciting rock 'n' roll album." She's also the one who has been setting up a kissing booth at her recent gigs to help pay off a speeding ticket (how much is the ticket!?) It costs $3 on the cheek, $10 on the mouth, and $100 for some tongue.
Implications - This is definitely an innovative (and possibly expensive) way to rub shoulders with a celebrity. As long as you're willing to wait in line and fork out the cash for Marnie Stern, her kissing booth may be your best bet at getting intimate with a rock star.
