Cat-fight!
Meeee-OW!

Back in the day I was a member of & used to frequent a nightclub where many of the local middle-class goths mixed with the living-on-the-street-punks and together developed their shared, burgeoning substance abuse problems whilst dancing in a straight line back and forth or like an epileptic spider to anything on vinyl that the kids thought was cool. Or Front242.

Now, as then I live in the capital city of our state in Oz. But because of our isolation (sea to the west and a VERY large expanse of land to the east before you hit civilization) our community of "sub-culture" was relatively small and almost everyone knew everyone else.

Anyhoo. One night I'm standing there sipping my cold beer watching the dance floor, listening to some droney Bauhaus/Sisters of Mercy/Jesus & Mary Chain when all of a sudden a couple of the girls start up with raised voices.

2 young gothy girls in short dresses, tights and boots seem to have decided that they have an issue with each other (as it turned out it was over some lanky, spotty, teen-aged fellow) and their disagreement rapidly escalated from loud words to launching blows.
Much to the delight of most of the blokes within sight/earshot.
They go at it for a few moments (with most of the blokes in the club now watching leeringly) when one of the ladies detaches from the scuffle, pulls a lighter out of her bag and proceeds to light up the other girl's hair. Bear in mind that this is the late 80's and a large amount of hairspray has gone into the the construction of most of the hairstyles in the place.

At this point the object of their shared affections (some lanky goth bloke) arrives on the scene to try and settle things.
Cue some serious accusations and then the 2 ladies changing the direction of their aggression from each other towards the young fella.

At which point they then proceed to belt and kick the shit out of the young gentleman in question. The clubs bouncers, having watched passively until now decide to weigh in and eject all 3 of them into the cold, dark midweek night.

tl;dr?
If you're a woman - be careful around open flames if you use a lot of hairspray.
If you are a bloke - probably not a wise idea to fuck 2 ladies from the same sub-culture who frequent the same nightclub.

Good times.

Howdy, btw.

Must have been some pretty crappy hairspray if it still hadn't dried that long after being applied.

Better than NIN

All of the above complete shat upon by Severed Heads, from a great height!
