I can't find any pictures of crayons. Pre-digital camera age, I guess. They should bring crayons back. I would definitely wear them again. I liked the beige ones with the yellow sole. But if I was in a punk mood, and I often was, I wore the black ones with the amber soles, tight black jeans and black sleeveless shirt. If I was going to a regular club I'd accent with a skinny tie.

If I was going to a punk club, skinny ties were lame. So it would be either an open sleeveless shirt, or a sleeveless sweatshirt that was ripped up, safety pins through the nipples. Sometimes we'd put Vaseline on our chest and arms to make them glisten. And yes, I did have Billy Idol hair at one point.

I just saw her on Monday night at Teri Ralston's show. She is phenomenal. Hilariously funny and she blew the roof of with ANOTHER HUNDRED PEOPLE.

I love Pamela Myers. I've never enjoyed anyone else's version of "Another Hundred People."

Gosh, thanks!


I just spent the last couple of months scanning in decades worth of pictures, so I've been having some major flash backs.

In the summer of 1986, the androgynous Boy George "not quite drag" look was in for a few months.

Why not make your research fun?

Watch some '80's porn and look at the clothes that they are getting out of...

Hey: FAME, the TV series is on DVD, be sure to check that out, too. Good times. It was all just so damned innocent.
