It was kind of confusing for a young chap in the 70s with all these male pop stars who looked like girls what with their long hair, their eyeliner and other make up, and their feminine, flouncy clothing. I must say I got a bit of a crush on one or two of these pouting performers. On the one hand there was their don’t give a fuck, rock god, magnetic charisma and then on the other their eyelash fluttering, glammed-up, dolly-bird look. A heady combination for a unwordly, young adolescent from a humdrum market town. Anyone else had such mixed-up feelings back in the day? Or was it just me?
Androgny, you’re beautiful!

Nooe. Utterly immune to it. I was a tartan shirt/levis guy.

You shit
Yeah, you got shit for a face. I spent two years trying to erase that from my brain. And now this.

Why, you little…
Do you know, that’s the first time I’ve noticed the pink chair.
Oh well, just me I guess. Or the rest of you aren’t prepared to admit it. That’ll be it.
No! Don’t go away, not like that! Give me a little time to, you know, get into the swing of it, so to speak. Please. It’s just … well … the first time for me. *blushes*
Well, like many of us I suspect, I fell in love with Bowie doing “Starman” on “Lift Off With Ayshea” and then “Queen Bitch” on “The Old Grey Whistle Test”. I mean literally fell in love with him. Then I met a girl.
This dude. He had that female librarian/teacher as a pent dam of sexual energy just waiting to burst in a torrent of wild abandon thing to a tee. I had the hots for him as a kid. It was quite confusing and I was a Confessional Box jockey rather a lot at the time as a result. Strange stirrings in me elgins and my first full on parthenon column too. Down to him, along with Raquel Welsh in grunting in a furry bikini.
Not sure if this should be in Dogface’s Noddyholder thread or here …

I used to bump into Marilyn often in the early ’80s. Beautiful guy, but total ….
…ly crap in bed?
It didn’t work out for Marilyn. Blimey, even this clip is from sixteen years ago. ITV1 should do a new catch up series called After After They Were Famous.
