Boy: Marc Bolan. HOWEVER, at much the same time I had a very complicated fear-fascination relationshiup to Slade, also, who I madea very conscious effort NOT to like, because if I did they would find out, come round to visit me, and (a) beat me up (b: same thing) gang-rape me. This was not cool; it just kept slipping under my intellectual guard.

Anyway, Madonna, when I was 11 and she was in her puffball shirt/hair ribbons/fishnet phase (Like A Virgin to Into The Groove). There was kind of an everygirl thing going on by default in that all the girls at the school discos were trying to look like her except mostly they weren't allowed fishnets, I imagine. It never reached anything like Starlust proportions, though.

Fast forward to something a little more, er, hormonal - Clare Grogan. Sorry for being so bloody obvious but, like Stevie's choice, knitwear-in-disarray plays a part here. Isn't it the 'I Could Be Happy' video where she's larking about in a big plush armchair, pulling her jumper over her hands and knees? Tasty, as the Pinefox would say.

First came to my attention via the "Rapture" video ca. 81 (perceived her as beautiful, but was too young to "fancy" her). REALLY came to my attention ca. 85 when I taped the EAT TO THE BEAT video compilation off TV and watched repeatedly, obsessively. REALLY REALLY came to my attention 1989 when I saw her live twice at a small club in London (Borderline?). Stage was low and I was right in front of her microphone both gigs. Fucking magic. And she looked great despite the advancing years. (Also remember the Darling Buds singer being in the queue for tickets; she was eyeing me up.) Saw Deborah live in Auckland the following year and actually copped a feel. Then, couple months later - VOOOSH - lost interest.
(Er, lest above sound too devoted, Madonna ca. fishnets, Sheila E ca. having hits, and countless others had an impact. And yeah, that overhead Belinda Carlisle cleavage shot was textbook perfect.)

And also Nick Rhodes, sorta. In retrospect I think I just appreciated his clothes and makeup application techniques.

Not necessarily about Clare Grogan, though. I suppose I should second what Tom says about Madonna, except that the 1986 version was the one for me. Was? Is!

Come to think of it, I think Ann-Margret, or should I say Ann-Margrock got me when she "appeared" on the Flintstones well before Deborah Harry gave me wood.
