Nostalgia hit me this week when I stumbled across my old crimpers in my parents house, and I started to have dreamy flash backs on all the crazes (and now cringes) I went through with my beauty ‘regime’ as a kid-turned-angry-teen in the 80s slash 90s. Any of these trends ring any bells? 1. The […]
Right. I’m a bit pissed off, if I’m honest. Feathers have totally stolen my idea of a cool-looking synthpop girl band. I mean, Jem and the Holograms can’t count cos they were a cartoon, right? If Depeche Mode were all girls, this is probably what they’d sound like. In fact, Texan quartet Feathers supported Depeche […]
Look. I’m not very well. Had my appendix removed last week, and resemble something from the Saw horror film franchise. Anyhoo, not being able to move far from the sofa has meant I’ve been discovering new choonage, and this 80s-inspired number by LA duo Kisses has been stuck on repeat. Mostly cos I couldn’t reach […]
These girls are SOOooo frickin’ adorable: They are Lady Tigra and Bunny D and they met when they were dancers in their early teens (in da 80s) and took female emcee-ing by storm. Their fashion vibe is very Hilary offa Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Check out their song Cars That Go Boom about their […]
Red or Dead are celebrating their big 3-0 (that’s thrity years of fashion fun) with a never-seen-before exhibition taking you through their archives from the 80s, 90s and 00s (noughties?). What: Red or Dead – Hot of the press Exhibition, 30 years of Red or Dead When: Friday 9th November 2012 toSunday 11th November 2012 […]
The London Olympics 2012 take place in a few weeks. Not that I really give a shit. I mean, I would *like* to go and see an event (is that the right term – event? Game? Show? Spectacle? Match? Meet? Wha’?) but I’ll be fucked if I’m going to be dicked about by Sebastian Cole […]
When I saw Lady Gaga arriving at Tokyo airport (I mean, I saw a photo of her; I wasn’t there with all the crazed super fans, or anything), my first thought was not, ‘how the blazes did she get through security with that studded Versace dress coat?’ nor, ‘surely those skyscraper heels can’t be ideal […]
It was the 1980s and I was the first girl in my class to get Clarks Magic Steps shoes. The ones with the key in the sole. They are perhaps responsible for many things: The start of my shoe obsession. My flexibility. I always had my foot up in the air showing off the soles. […]
Following my post on threesomes – of the all-girl singing variety that is you filthy-minded SWINES – I felt the need to ruminate on terrible (and not so terrible, atch) twosomes from the ’80s and ’90s. Here we go… Shampoo ‘Uh-oh. We’re in trouble. Something’s come along and it’s burst our bubble (yeah yeah).` ‘Twas […]
When I consider the lack of Clarks Magic Key Shoes AND Dreamphone during my childhood, and then casually mention that my tender years were also distinctly lacking a Mr Frosty machine, you may wonder why I didn’t put my parents up for adoption as soon as I hit my GCSEs.And you’d have a point.Better late […]
