Suited and Booted
in my green neon flecked grey itchy suit. I tthough I was the mutts, going to family weddings looking like some kind of Vice reject.
If I was going casual, I'd hit Fosters and get me some Leo Gemmeli or maybe a Campri Ski jacket.

And Dogger Collymore, you must have listened loads. You meant Brian Adams.

When i was 13, I used to really like a-ha.
That may not seem so strange, but the bad part is that, at the ripe old age of 30, i still really like them!

And, believe it or not, i'm not a gayer.

When I was 14 I was big fan of TV's Miami Vice...
Don Johnson was our role model of cool, so one saturday I got my Mum to take me to Burtons Menswear to buy:

White trousers with fat turnups.
Turquoise (sp?) t-shirt.
Yellow suit jacket.
£3 Ray Bans from the market.

How could any girl resist a chubby virginal 14 year-old from Cheshire in this ensemble?

Well, they resisted very well - in fact they were 100% effective at resisting me.

I've always looked like a tit, however now I'm good at it - and the ladies now respect me more.

I bought
the soundtrack to the first mission impossible movie, when I was 12. I used to play it when there was nobody home, while rolling around the living room floor pretending I was tom cruise.

Fashion!?!?!?!
I have many of the items already mentioned (as I guess many of us children of the eighties have). But, by far the worst are a purple shell suit with green go-faster stripes and a pair of baggy black jeans with the huge red patch covering the arse-al and top-of-the-legs area.

Will Smith - Big Willie Style
Will Smith - Willennium
Spooks - S.I.O.S.O.S.
Wheatus - Wheatus
Now 35 (or something like that)

I also proclaimed Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses, Iron Maiden, Star Wars, Smoke on the Water and other things I now like as "utter shit" to my friends.

In my defence, I did think that Star Wars was just the sequel to Star Trek. And I *knew* Star Trek was shit, but I had never seen Star Wars.

1st thing on my Christmas list at age 9
Wicked Willy boxer shorts.

Unfortunately my parents fuelled my poor taste and bought them.

Shakin Stevens...gah.
yup, I too fell foul of the Coke-addled Welsh cnut, and purchased "Letter To You" on 7" back when Boots still sold them...

...to make matters worse, it was accompanied by a Bucks Fizz record the title of which has thankfully been supressed.

I also used to have my own Spiderman outfit which I wore ALL the time, but that was pretty cool in retrospect. Especially when I used to hang upside down from the climbing frame pretending I was him, and humming the theme tune from the 70s TV series.

Hours of fun, I can assure you.

Also wore one of those £3 German Army shirts for a while- poor taste in more ways than one

Well, it's bad taste whatever your age....
I used to find public safety adverts;like the don't drink and drive ones, where people get killed, fucking hilarious.

While watching the lion king i had to be escorted out of the cinema becuase i found Mufasa being killed by stampeding buffalo pant wettingly funny (Not literaly i might add).

Album
The first album I ever bought was actually a single. I though 14 quid was a bit much, but being a doddering old ten year old, I went and bought the entire Babylon Zoo Album...ooohh the SHAME!! I WAS ONLY AFTER THE SINGLE Spaceman!

Age 12
I bought "No Limit" by 2 Unlimited.

Didn't learn, cos two months after that I bought "Tribal Dance".

It was the SAME SONG.

I learned after that.
