The Slashers are probably the most well renowned Marilyn Manson fans. The group mainly consisted of two adolescent masochist girls named Jeanette Polard and Alison Duffy who would cut the words "Marilyn" and "Manson" respectively into their own chests before showing up at the band's performances, hence the nickname. A picture of the girls first appeared in Manson's autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell. The two girls were originally nicknamed "Slice and Dice", until another adolescent cutter named Katheryn McGaffigan ("Ckath-E") began showing up at all the band's performances with band-related cuts also. From that point on, they were called "The Slashers". Video footage of the girls was used on the band's 1997 tour documentary Dead to the World. Jeanette and Alison were also used for the Lest We Forget (The Best of) compilation, their pictures are in the CD holders. Jeanette (Marilyn), committed suicide in 2006. Alison (Manson), is now married to Manson's original personal assistant.
