There's a cute moment in Rebel Girl, where Kathleen Hanna recalls the day that her now-husband, Adam 'Ad Rock' Horovitz, visited her apartment in Tacoma, Washington for the first time. The two musicians had met in January 1996 when their respective bands, Bikini Kill and Beastie Boys, toured Australia together as part of the Summersault festival package, and Hanna was so taken by "the sexiest boy in the world" - married, at the time, to actress Ione Skye - that upon her return to the US, she purchased a poster of the Beastie Boys in a Sam Goody record store at the local mall, purely so that she could look at Horovitz's face and, she admits, kiss her crush's "gorgeous pouty mouth." When the rapper visits her home and discovers the poster in her closet, Hanna, trying to play things cool, tells him that she purchased it as a gift for a cousin, and was hoping that Horovitz might autograph it.
"What's wrong with my mouth?" Horovitz asks, looking at the poster.
'I'd made out with the poster so much that his mouth was all fucked up', Hanna candidly admits in her memoir. 'Some of the coloring was gone, and it was all wavy.'
