Why did no-one have dignity in the 80s?

Um, by attractive I mean good looking. As in not rough as fuck, which is apparently what you think it means.

Kate Bush was "rough as fuck"?! Wendy James?! Susanah Hoffs?!
Personally I fancy the pants off Siouxsie Sioux, but I get that she's not to everyone's taste, but the rest - if you think they're "rough as fuck" then you're either a spotty virgin posturing, or a spotty virgin posturing.

I'm with you on this, mostly
A lot of otherwise-fit 80s women were destroyed by shoulder pads and massive curly hair, androgynous gamine pouting and blokish hair, or lurid luminous make-up and and messy as fuck hair.
Also, those massively high-waisted trousers created the distinctly 80s phenomenon of "long arse". Horrible.

Yes - the 1980s was indeed the black hole of fashion.
But the above mainly managed to retain their beauty.
Mainly. I'm not saying entirely. But mainly.

But that one is. I will forever associate it with watching a compilation of pratfalls of that year's Wimbledon, for which the BBC in their wisdom used it as the soundtrack.
