Thank you for Only Words

That song reminds me very much of my now-DH who, at the time of the song's release was going abroad for a year. It was then I realise how much I loved him

More than Words AAArgh

Thanks to this thread we are singing along to Erasure’s greatest hits on a long car journey.

🎼 “I’m so in love with youuuuu” (A Little Respect)

Thank you, MN.

Thinking makeup can change your sex is just a sweet dream.

.. like thinking covering your eyes makes you invisible.

Oi. The Cure are mine. All mine.

And I worked in Soho in 1986.

I love a bit of 80's nostalgia.
Plenty of women didn't tend to dress in a typically 'feminine' style - like Alison Moyet and also Bananarama with their scruffy jeans, doc martins and short hair - and the woman in the Come on Eileen video.

Loved the relevant Shania Twain videos and all the others by the way!

Here is some more Annie Lennox, suitable for Feminist chat:

Last year I went to two Adam Ant gigs. I’ve seen him live many times over the past few years. He’s not lost “it” whatever “it” is. In fact these days I think he has even more of “it”. Still wears the make up, though not the stripe. Still as sexy and as horny as fuck.

At university in the mid 80s so this is a nostalgia fest and really explains why I just don't get the whole non-conform = trans thing. God, the freedom of being able to present yourself however you wanted. A LOT of friends came out as gay, after the fights against c28. Where would they be forced to now..?

Never forget George - the London Irish builder with the face of an angel!

I also used to have the hots for Marc Bolan back in the 70's. Him and David Bowie must be spinning in their graves at this regressive fucking nonsense.

Boy George is a TERF now, sorry

If I see the work folk much more I’m going to peel my skin off. Arghhhh

I know, what's that about? It makes them sound all cosy round a campfire chewing tobacco and playing the banjo, minding their pronouns while they brew up some moonshine

Folk is woke don'tcha know.

Folx is better

@53rdWay Boy George is a TERF now, sorry

Some mindblowing logic in the replies there:

'it's TERFs like the ones in your mentions that want girls wearing dresses to be called boys just bc they're trans. The reverse isn't true.'

I’m not really into chaps in makeup, I prefer bearded lumberjack types, but I love Pink. She’s a great example of a super strong woman and a great role model imo.

Pink is one of the best performers I have ever seen live, and I wasn't a massive fan before I went to the gig. Her energy filled the stadium, and she has a cracking set of lungs on her too... particularly impressive when she was belting out a song whilst swinging upside down on circus silks 30ft above the audience, without a safety harness.

David Bowie, the Spiders, makeup and Yorkshire
