Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Quite a good show this evening (it was the year DH and I met - both New Romantics, both 16). My name drop of the evening.....I was in the studio when Prince Charming was being filmed! (I wasn't meant to be there but i was at Shepperton Studios trailing around after my Dad who was working there and his girlfriend sneaked us in..and no one noticed) I met Dors and Adam - who signed his autograph...sigh!The video for Girls on Film (Duran Duran) was being filmed in the adjoining studio so I saw that too (Simon le Bon - PHOAR!!!). AH!! Clare Grogan! I SO wanted to be her! After buying 'Dead Pop Stars' (their single before Happy Birthday) I drifted around with floaty scarves round my head and little polka dot dresses that I had found in the only charity shop in Potters Bar and generally got plenty of funny looks (Potters Bar was/is serious fifties time warp) . You'd never believe that Spandau Ballet came from our school! Some of the songs were wrong on the programme - Heart of Glass was 1979 and Two Tribes was 1984. Nice to look back on though! Wish they were showing 's Girl instead of Videodrome. Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 We watched this too - DH drooling over Kim Wilde and Clare Crogan - both of whom still look fantastic. I hadn't seen Videodrome and only managed to watch about 15 minutes of it - not my cup of tea - 's Girl would have been a far better choice. caroline@... wrote: > Quite a good show this evening (it was the year DH and I met - > both New Romantics, both 16).

Yes - I still fancy CG in a schoolgirly sort of way! I have managed to find some photos of me and (my now) DH in 1981: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1159084 & a=1108 6968 They are a bit mild compared to what we normally looked like but had to tone down for school, where these were taken.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 >I met Dors >and Adam - who signed his autograph...sigh!T Oh, you lucky thing ! The first 7 " single I bought was Adam and the Ants - Stand & Deliver, bought from a record shop in Muswell Hill called, I think, Top of the Pops. The girl who served me was a serious punk (green spiky hair, nose rings, the lot) and I could see that she was almost pi*sing herself at taking 99p off a nine year old little girl who was so clearly in luuurve with Adam Ant. He was gorgeous, wasn't he?! Loved that dandy highwayman thing. I played that record to death. Found it as an MP3 the other week, so now I can play it again and again (and annoy SO), and it will never get scratched ! :-) -- Clare Lusher. SAHM to Ruairí (24.10.99).

Kim Wilde....shan't tell you what Dh said!..... (but my hair used to be like hers which used to annoy me as I was trying to be Grogan!) and scarves.....well........ and it reminded me of a pair of black babycords I had which I took in sooooo tight that I could hardly get my feet through (pre Lycra days!) and wore with first a huge dyed green shirt, and then a Mr Darcy Shirt copied from an original in the V & A where a friend worked on the Costume Court cannot believe its TWENTY years ago!
