I had a Cindy lauper style dress that I made from a vintage one and added loads of layers of net and lace too, plus the lacy fingerless gloves must have looked a right sight!

Pulling Mussels from the Shell does it for me, I always want to sing it on the beach
Ca Plane Pour Moi and the mighty Another Girl, Another Planet, are both being prostituted on car/phone ads at the moment

Marina · 18/10/2006 15:28

I attended numerous discos (including one dressed as the Empress Josephine, just don't ASK) in soapbox's dc's school hall!

puddle · 18/10/2006 15:28

Marina - Another Girl another planet - I nearly threw something threw the TV when I heard that. Is nothing sacred (I also think it's a cover versi0on - dopens't sound quite right)

puddle · 18/10/2006 15:29

through the tv....

Marina · 18/10/2006 15:29

And who else wanted to THROTTLE David Gray when he murdered Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

Mercy · 18/10/2006 15:29

Bundle - I still play that song, I bloody love her voice

bundle · 18/10/2006 15:30

marina, thank god I was spared that

puddle · 18/10/2006 15:31

Did you see Mark Almond on the Boy George thing last night Marina? I was cheered to see him looking so well after that accident he had.

bet he didn't have a snood!

taMummy · 18/10/2006 15:43

bundle and puddle, I saw the Thomson Twins 5 times, the first 4 all when they had loads of people on stage. They were great then. I saw Squeeze on their farewell tour too, and the Skids....

Marina · 18/10/2006 15:46

I missed it, am kicking myself, seeing as how Boy George was local and I used to do ballet with one of his sisters
Am very glad Marc is on the mend. I once had to explain to my teenage sister what semen was after she was told an appallingly rude and juvenile joke about Soft Cell on the school minibus.

foxinsocks · 18/10/2006 15:51

I loved Squeeze - Cool for Cats still cheers me up when I here it today. Felt slightly cheated by some of their later stuff.

I spent most of that era dressed from top to toe in black (shudder). I thought I was so cool!

CountessDracula · 18/10/2006 15:53

well I qualify except i have a small and almost vanished tattoo but in my defence I was a webel and a punk (though I always wore chanel no 5, always, never succumbed to the cheap and nasty perfume fashions)

Twighlight teaser I think was my lippie of choice, was it no 17?

CountessDracula · 18/10/2006 15:53

Did anyone else wear their dads' string vests with nothing underneath with short skirt and long suede boots?

HowwwlidayMumsPukefest · 18/10/2006 15:55

Not string vests no but did steal his paisley pjs and wore them
We were all being creative!
