Sometimes a girl can get nostalgic about something she's never seen. That's definitely how I feel about the late 70s-early 80s New Romantic/Wave era of the UK. Annabella Lwin, lead vocalist of Bow Wow Wow, makes me especially wistful, because I have been a little hugely infatuated with the mohawk/shaved head look that she co-pioneered with many fellow early punks. Also, her skin & hair color are similar to mine, which makes me think it might not look completely offensive if I took the plunge. Can you believe she was only 14 when she was carrying around this insane amount of moxie?
Regarding my admiration for the band that brought us this overplayed cover tune - Sure Bow Wow Wow disbanded in 1983, presumably before I even exited the womb in August of that year, and their conception was sort-of based on the need to mass market Vivienne Westwood's clothing to alternative British youth, buuuut they did contribute to a sub culture that we still draw from heavily. Word.
