They met, in true rock'n'roll mythology style, on Hollywood Boulevard when Daniella noticed a crowd of people on the pavement. She pushed her way through and saw it was a rock group, going by the unpromising name of Candy, making a video, and was rather intrigued by the swarthy guitar player. He, however, was somewhat distracted because all his girlfriends ("Well, you know what it's like") had turned up, so he was trying to avoid them. But then, he noticed this young girl and she looked so different from everyone else and, well, it just happened. Like that scene in the video for Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark, when he picks Courtney Cox out of the crowd, I say, perhaps a little too excitedly. "Yes! I think about that often," cries Daniella. But basically, Gilby's way of avoiding his half-dozen girlfriends was to find another? "Exactly. Wipe the slate clean," he agrees solemnly.
Despite the musical hedonism, the two maintained a steady relationship, partly helped, Gilby admits, by the fact that he was in "a pretty successful band", because if Daniella ever said she missed him, he could just send a private jet to pick her up, "which was pretty nice". Aside from this helping their relationship, it also sparked her fashion style. She was able to dress as as she liked because "people expected the wildness", and she ended up going for "a lot of micro-minis" and, her husband chimes in, "all the low pants".
