If you missed Part I go Here for the first 3 honest things about me and my coil perm
This; boys and girls, is why not all of the Eighties Retro fashion should be revived.
This; boys and girls, is why not all of the Eighties Retro fashion should be revived.This is actually the coil perm grown out by 18 months but still persisting under an obviously home done color. Also note the nattily twisted bandana worn as a necklace. Boo wears that now.
By this stage I was living with Mr Hammie in a 1 room bedsit in Kilburn. One end of our Road was NW3 which made it West Hampstead. The end where we lived was opposite Biddy Mulligans - mere metres from Kilburn High Road, where one got to experience the color and smells of the Wine Tasting Club who occupied the park by day, and slept in the doorways of the bank by night.
These Poets of the Gutter, Looking at the Stars and drinking Carlsberg Special Brew, would leave little piles of puke on the footpath that you learned to step lightly over on the way to the Tube.

The 80's. Oh god! the memories of some serious fashion desasters... and my hair styles at the time! I went through every one of them I think... Better put all of this at the very back of my memory bank, to surface only with senility, if at all.
Can't wait for the next part! And I love nostalgic photos, I thought the whole appeal of 80's fashion is that it was one big fashion disaster? Don't be so hard on yourself!
I got my perm in the late 80's...God I looked like a mad woman!
No Shoulder pads for u then??! They were another staple!! xx J
Skye: I think it was a spiral perm. Will have to ask my sister who did it. My sister was an apprentice hairdresser in the 1980s - that was when hair was HAIR man!
Te; I think they had an online newsletter that linked them with Smith Street and the crowd in the middle of Taylors Square in Sydney
(whoops, the internet wasn't invented then, Hey YOU weren't even invented then)
K-line: I look demonic in that photo. I look like Bratty looks when she does not want to do something. Will fill you in on the Mr H tale soon. Hope you are okay?
Nan and Grufalo: See above comment about spare shoulder pads in a basket for just how much taste had abandoned us.
