[edit] First person review

After the most recent rewrite, Miss Lady Kier was contacted to review the accuracy of the page. She responded via email, correcting several mistakes and clarifing a few dates.

as for the wikipedia info - I see a few errors here. which I'll try to clarify. thankyou for your interest in updating this wikipedia page- I cringe when I've read it before and have avoided it ever since because there's so many errors . I never went out with or knew Michael Hutchence. dmitry and kier lived in williamsburg , Brooklyn from 1984- 1989. she was never married to or divorced from dmitry . they were lovers for four years before they started the band deee-lite in 1986 . Dmitry lives in berlin . I lost the lawsuit with sega/sony. the second album was not actually a commercial dissapointment.- it recouped and went gold - however the record label refused to promote the album with any tour support or fund the 2 contractual videos. the third album also recouped quickly and sold a million copies in spite of the label refusing tour support or the funding of 2 contractual videos. the band broke up in '93 during the writing of "dewdrops in the garden " but Kier and Dmitry decided to tour together to promote the last album before going seperate ways. Although Lady kier is a college drop-out, I was published in the spoken word poetry collection "verbal abuse," spoke at Princeton University, Cooper union art Institute. I have written and produced 7 Billboard number one dance hits. I'm not sure how wikipedia works or what you contributed but I hope this helps - thankyou Lady Kier

From here on, please be careful before adding or editing any information, as inaccuracies abound on the internet and are difficult to confirm.--Coryarlo 05:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccuracies

I have removed the reference to Michael Hutchence, this is a completely unsubstantiated rumour with absolutely no basis in fact, let alone any kind of reference. 69.22.239.120 02:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistancy

The article has two different years for Deee-Lites break-up (95 and 96). Whatever it is, it should be consistent within the article. ike9898 03:30, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Suggestions for Improvement

[edit] Birthdate

I do not find that 1963 birthdate to be accurate since Kierin Michele Kirby graduated from Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach, VA in May, 1981. I'd imagine Lady Miss Kier was born in 1969 like most of her other graduates- myself included. (this entry moved from main article; posted by anonymous user 68.71.249.171)

Since when do people born in 1969 graduate high school in 1981? 1963 is more like it. See this link and punch in "Kier Kirby:" www.birthdatabase.com. The birth month listed there may well be wrong, but the year is usually accurate. Swinterich 05:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't buy this age propaganda either! No way is she just 1 yr. older than me! The birthdatabase another user suggested cannot be correct either as that is for someone named Kier NOT Kieren and they are listed as being born in NY NOT OH! At any rate, while I love her and wish her well and believe she can be any age she wants to in her world, on this, planet Earth, she is telling little fibs! My guess is she's pushing 50. (CM)

Not 50! If so she looks very good for 50..!

There has been a lot of back-and-forth between 1963 and 1969, and Miss Kier had been decidely mum on the point. I've decided 1963 makes the most sense, given that she graduated high school before moving to NYC and moving in with Dmitri in 1983. Having her born in 1969 would make put her at 13 during that time, and make him a statatory rapist (they had an unconventional relationship, given, but come on). I think 1963 only makes sense. Feel free to provide any counter evidence.--Coryarlo 21:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
