to be most aggrieved that I did not get married off in the last IPOAT thread? Won't someone think of Nigel?

I once bleached a centimetre wide (back when there were centimetres) strip of my fringe.

Thanks! You look so coooool!

I wonder if I can find a photo of myself looking remotely interesting. I was not a goth, although people generally seemed to think I was because I often wore black and had dark hair.

Go to it, Widow.

Sam Janus was on tv in the 90s as very pretty young thing. She is the actress in the Enders plot line so upsetting mumsnet and the world.
I don't watch that shite but I remember her from my yoof..

I have no pics and no tales of celebs that anyone would remember, am a very fossilsed mammoth after all. Got chatted up by a member of Hermans Hermits and used to go to club that Pete Stringfellow owned and DJd at. Hides behind pension book. Unfortunatley I remember the Hully Gully as the dance it used to be Grin remember passing out watching someone peice their own ears....

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 16:58

I am not the dance

pagwatch · 07/01/2011 17:00

I had gold highlights and wore pantaloon style things in homage to new romantics.
I wore turquoise high waisted pants in the 70s and actually went to clubs where people really really did John travolta sat night fever dances.
In fairness I did mutter 'oh do fuck off' at them.

My sisters used to take me to nightclubs when I was 14 where I became adept at fighting off married perverts men. To this day I wonder what my mother was thinking

minimammoth · 07/01/2011 17:00

Sorry Hully not meant to offend. Tugs forelock, just being maudlin about age.

Jins · 07/01/2011 17:03

Mr Jins refuses to let me tell you about his z list relative

Is that grounds for divorce?

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:05

I not take none. I am actually a giant grimacing lady with outstretched skirts at the bottom of which is a rollercoaster affair. But everyone thinks I'm a dance.

Paggy, I had maginificent white hair backcombed and hairsprayed to death and quite hideous skirts, petticoats and legwarmers. Why did no one lock me up?

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:06

Hit him, Jins.

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:06

And tell us anyway.

Jins · 07/01/2011 17:08

He will let me tell you by PM

Jins · 07/01/2011 17:10

and has now changed his mind. Bugger

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:11

Hit him harder

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:22

Now make him walk the permatan walk of shame....

Jins · 07/01/2011 17:25

He has been doing that since 1982 or thereabouts....

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:27

See? This is me.

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:27

Altho the one I named myself after was a lot more scarier. Furrin too.

Hullygully · 07/01/2011 17:28

Okay, gotta swoon (and stop spending WHOLE DAYS on MN)

pagwatch · 07/01/2011 17:30

I have to swoon but will share with you my fav celebrity encounter.

There I was, in a cocktail bar in in about 1983 when this guy came up to me and said

" you are so beautiful. Are you a model? Would you come out with me tomorrow night"

I turned.

and beheld my prince

Jins · 07/01/2011 17:32

I think I may have to swoon myself after that
