DastardlyDevilishDior · 18/10/2006 20:22

Oh, OK, I stand corrected. Well, my brain is old and I have had a child!

CountessDracula · 18/10/2006 20:23

tucker boots

I remember the name and am sure I had some but what were they?

TutterIckOrTreat · 18/10/2006 20:24

weren't they just like the ones that kate moss wears now? pixie boots - wrinkled down leather to be worn with leg warmers?

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 18/10/2006 20:24

I used to wear Heather Shimmer which was Rimmel - and I think they still do it!

CountessDracula · 18/10/2006 20:24

ooh yes I had sort of ivory coloured ones (NICE )

southeastastralplain · 18/10/2006 20:25

Pixie boots, ski pants and layered perm. Listening to Thomson Twins and Duran Duran.

BlueBeetle · 18/10/2006 20:28

Hey - any chance of getting our old buggers club password protected so that people who don't "get us" can't come in and upset us ???

Can I join? Can I?

Felt I was way too cool for Adam Ant (fancied hem secretly of course).

But I did know the sister of the girl who was on the record sleeve of a Frankie Goes to Hollywood single - draped oevr some huge wheel with got-there-before-Madge pointy boobed corset...

And I wore black all the time and had a boyfriend who wore make-up, inducing white-van-man to pull up and yell abuse all too frequently.

makemineadouble · 18/10/2006 21:27

Hey I know a guy who's brother's mate went to school with Kate Bush I was so impressed

stleger · 18/10/2006 21:37

Gregory's Girl is on my top ten list of dvds to inflict on my kids.

wagglefullmoondancer · 18/10/2006 22:07

Hair cut very short at the back except for thin pigtail.

Have spent nights talking to god about pernod and black and diamond white! Thought Grolsch was way cool in my clubbing days cos you could close the bottle (went to a very sticky floored, don't lean on the walls club)

Blue feet from over narrowed jeans
