Prince Just as Vanessa Williams trilled back in the early 90s, I went and saved one of the best for last. 2016 has been a c-bomb of a year for losing a lot of great artists and none more fabulous than the great Purple One – Prince! Like […]
Jem! If I’m going to include the entire soundtrack to my life then skipping out on the band who was probably THE most influential in my formative years would be sheer sacrilege. Yes dear dollface, Jem and The Holograms is the reason why: I love pop/rock music, wanted a keytar […]
Depeche Mode You all know I’m a rocker chick deep down and that my heart beats to the sound of a fabulous rock guitar solo, but sometimes there’s nothing quite like an electronica dance beat and keyboard ensemble that sets my soul on fire. As with most of my musical […]
Roxette There must be something in the water in Sweden. First ABBA bewitched the world in the 70/80s with their fabulousness and then Roxette* did it again in the late 80s and 90s with their catchy AF pop hooks. Not only are these Swedes genetically gorgeous but they’re musically gifted as hell […]
Pseudo Echo When I was 15 I would spend most Saturday nights at home with my bestie, Tez, and we’d have the place to ourselves. More often than not we’d order pizzas and settle in for a night of either the latest release from Blockbuster or the newest episode […]

Huey Lewis & The News When I was a kid there was a girl who lived next door that I used to play with. For the life of me I can’t remember what she looked like but I do remember that she gave me some hair clips with […]
Anne + Dave As a child I never quite understood why Annie Lennox chose her (now) iconic androgynous look. Growing up in an über colourful era where even the boys looked like girls (I’m looking at you George and Marilyn) Annie kinda scared me a little, to be honest. I […]
Popped collar realness! Picture it, Sicily Melbourne about 1986/87. My sister and I shared a bedroom (complete with bunk beds of course!) and for the next four years or so we went to bed with two English lads every single night! EVERY. SQUARE. INCH of our bedroom walls […]
Pic taken recently at the Warhol/Weiwei exhibition Bow down everyone…Queen Madge is in the house! Today y’all can forget about your Bey, Gaga, Tay Tay and all those babes because we have the original and THE best! Yes, yes we know she hasn’t made a great record since […]
