I was but a wee lad in the early 80's and dressed in whatever my Mom bought me (although I INSISTED on getting a replica of Simon LeBon's jacket from "The Reflex" video...I looked like a dink!). In the mid-80's I cultivated a retro-Brit-punk look but with

Thanks for the compliment Ollie, your pictures are cool too =)

Cheetah's awesome, I hung out with him a lot during those days, although I probably wouldn't have much to say to him now, I'd probably be trying to help get him on a raw food plan, ha-ha.

I was a total sucker for the Duckie look. I still for the life of me cannot understand why the hell Andie ever fell for that Blaine guy, lol. Okay, I see a point with the money and all...
