A girl auditioned for my teenage band when You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling was reissued and 'sang' it. She looked astonishing - backcombed purple hair in 1990! - but could NOT sing. #totp

I was a backcombed vampire.
I’m not sure why, it felt right at the time.

Early 1986 I was at a bus stop on Seven Sisters Rd heading home from goth club Catacombs when I was approached by a teenager who offered to take me to a warehouse all-nighter if I paid his entrance. Turned out to be this - he went off to join friends, I danced 'til dawn, backcombed hairdo and all.

Ah yes, the famed ''natural beauty'' of the highly teased/backcombed hair, the godawful girdles they made women wear back then, etc, etc...

1992, we'd gone to visit a friend at the college, have beers, and then later down to Newport to see The Mission, we were gothed up in our finery with big backcombed hair etc.
ALL of the high street shops locked their doors on us! And refused entry. The only shop we got into was a record store.

it's up there with the speech written by Elspeth Howe (allegedly) for Sir Geoffrey to deliver in the House to the back of Thatcher's backcombed hair.
This is the best written and most powerful resignation letter I have ever seen

That was UBER-chic. The first wine bar opened near me in the early 80s. I went in in all my backcombed glamour and asked what wines they had.
"Draught white."
I had a gin and tonic instead!

It might make you think of Paul Shane, but You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling always reminds me of a girl who sang it when she auditioned for my teenage band. She looked astonishing - backcombed purple hair in 1990! - but could NOT sing. Terrifyingly so. What IS it about that song??

deathhawk is a hairstyle that's similar to a mohawk, but typically styled with more voluminous teased or backcombed hair. It often features shaved or closely trimmed sides, with the central strip of hair styled into spikes or teased for a feathery appearance.

Also like fuck did anyone without a professional stylist have that level of shiny bouncy hair, we barely had conditioner and my hair was like a giant triangle of frizz until I entered the backcombed era (aka frizz but vertical).

Some of his teeth and sprayed him with cooking oil and backcombed his hair, and had him run his hands in box full of dirt to get his hands filthy. At the end, they had nowhere for him to clean up.

Did I mention my dad took the bus to this photoshoot?

By the time he left, it was late and he was 2/
