All hail the Eighties
I was lucky enough to spend my teenage formative years in the 1980's. Spandau Ballet, Visage, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and Soft Cell to name but a few were my musics of choice.

Falling into this musical sub-culture as you do, necessitates a certain uniform so as to fit in with all the other 'individuals'. However, many of my friends didn't share my flamboyant streak so on many occasions I would find myself in typical nightclubs and bars being the only guy wearing make up.

Also, my best mate was Sarah (R.I.P :( ) and we developed a two stage approach to helping each other. I would find the object of the night's affections and she would strike up a conversation with them (usually in the Ladies) checking for boyfriends, husbands, madness etc.) and then when I was sure I was in the clear, I used my best chat up line:



"Can I borrow your eyeliner?"


In return, when she saw someone she wanted, I went up to them and said:

My mate over there wants a shag. You up for it?

it worked for us.

And yes, I still miss her.
