He was a great boyfriend. I was only about 19-20 years old in this picture. I met Mike from my cousin Patrick who was the guitar player for a band called &#8220;Cats and Dogs&#8221; and we met at the\u00a0Vogue. The Man in the Box video had just been released on MTV&#8230;and I had just moved to Seattle from Santa Barbara so I did not know anyone but my cousin and his friends and I was underage so I could not go out to the clubs..anyway that night my cousin took me out and his girlfriend let me use her ID&#8230;little did I know how much my life would change that year&#8230;I was so naive\u00a0when I moved there. I had been raised in a small beach town (Laguna Beach, CA) and Seattle seemed so BIG and the people were so CRAZY&#8230; it was nothing like what I was used too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1292\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/barbara_dearaujo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1292\" class=\" wp-image-1292 \" style=\"border: 3px solid black;\" title=\"Barbara Dearaujo and Mike Starr\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/barbara_dearaujo.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Dearaujo and Mike Starr\" width=\"430\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/barbara_dearaujo.jpg 717w, http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/barbara_dearaujo-261x350.jpg 261w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me in Mike Starr&#8217;s room.. posted by Melinda Starr on her Facebook and taken from Mike&#8217;s photo album<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I remember I thought Mike was totally lying to me about his last name&#8230; Haha!

I ran into Mike and he told me how he was getting his Platnum albums for Facelift and he could get like 10 of them or something and he wanted me to have one.. I thought that would be awesome but never honestly expected to ever see it. Then like a month later I ran into him again and he took me to the office downtown and picked up my album. I was shocked and moved that he still cared that much about me. I lost everything I&#8217;ve owned several times over the years but that is the one thing I have always held onto for dear life. It even has airline stickers on the back from me dragging it on airplanes. Haha! You&#8217;d have to pull it from my dead hands&#8230;. he is with me forever and I&#8217;m proud of his accomplishments and so was he.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-image: initial; border-width: 3px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" src=\"http:\/\/images9.fotki.com\/v1541\/photos\/2\/200700\/867609\/DSCN0885-vi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"329\" height=\"445\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #f23f63;\"><strong>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dreamydoodles.com\/puppies\/wp-content\/uploads\/bullet_star_pink.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"11\" height=\"9\" \/>Mike you will be forever missed<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dreamydoodles.com\/puppies\/wp-content\/uploads\/bullet_star_pink.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"11\" height=\"9\" \/><\/strong><\/span><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- rememberlayne top post 2 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:15px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6173441909460537\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5290871788\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><a href=\"http:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=Rememberlayne\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rememberlayne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/subscribe-button.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- rememberlayne top post 3 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:320px;height:100px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6173441909460537\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9721071389\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Mike&#8217;s best friends recently posted this picture of me and Mike in 1992.
