...and Beyond
Within nine weeks, Eliza's debut album became a worldwide success, selling in excess of three million copies in the far East, Australia and Canada on the strength of her stylish and often provocative videos and her evolving image--as evidenced by an almost daily array of new hairstyles, including the now-famous "Eliza topnot" which was widely emulated by teenaged girls across the world.
From August until December 1988, Eliza toured The Phillipines, North America, and Eastern Europe on her "Golden Nuggets" World Tour. Featuring sexual themes and esoteric Nordic pagan symbolism, the tour generated controversy from Eliza's performance of "Sanctify Yourself" during which three male dancers massaged her body as she simulated shaving her legs in an onstage shower.
After some time off, Eliza returned to the studio in late 1989 to record "Scandalous" with Italian disco producer Larry Sciatti at the famous Tune Power Studios in Wales. She also starred in the independent comedy film "A Bit of Something Extra" as a ukulele player who gets involved with British mobsters on the lam.
