Biography
Toothpaste 2000 evolved from the Seattle duo the Cowboy as well as the Spingirl, an alias for bassist/guitarist/vocalist Frank Bednash and guitarist/vocalist Donna Esposito. Both got together within the middle-’80s and released the Hearing Candy recording, plus many singles, within the Parasol label. When drummer Duff Drew became a member of, the band’s name was transformed to Toothpaste 2000. The recording Death from the Italian Film Celebrity premiered in 1997, with Bachelorette pursuing two years later on.

| 9 |
Her son Ben doubles as a physical training-partner...sort of. Every morning, she first does push-ups with the baby lying under her...letting her long mane dangle over him. Then Ali does sit-ups with Ben lying on her chest for resistance. After that, she lifts and lowers him overhead to work her triceps. Ali credits Ben with being a terrific motivation. |
