Evening all. Looks like I missed my favourite INXS track.

Fleamaker123 · 27/01/2021 19:47

Rogue, yes, I had to check date on Elton John cos I thought it was too recent! I was surprised it was 70's too.

NeedToKnow101 The Stranglers doing Dionne Warwick? That I've got to listen to!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Evening ladies

If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky
And dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
2000

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

@MNerGoneRogue

(Do we think our FlouncingB has rtft? i was expecting a big flounce once she realised the rest of us were slobbing up in pjs)
Hang on!

Slobbing?!

On awards night?!

Have you all lost your minds?!

We might all be on Lockdown but we don’t let our standards slip, oh no, not on my watch!

Besides, GaGa has finally forgiven me for letting Rogue steal the dress I borrowed from her that she borrowed from Kylie and has promised me this...I’ll be a bit sad if I can’t wear it...

I know where you've been

Well done Rogue for Phil Collins 👍😊

@NeedToKnow101 Actually it is a full length, strapless, fitted column dress with a side slit to just above the knee. The burgundy velvet is my oversized huggle hoodie 😁
