From the Archive - The Great Escape 2008: the DiS preview
huh
she works that dress and that mic
What year was that?
She sure has style.
I reckon it was 1989....
back when pop stars were pop stars!
1988
.
it was not a good decade
for pop music though.
Well......
The Smiths, Joy Division, The Cure and the first stirrings of the whole US college rock movement.
In terms of the real volume sellers though, no. However, at least they were real stars with massive personalities unlike the shop assistants come television show 15 minutes of famers that we have to contend with these days.
I was talking 'pop' music
The charts were dominated by stock aitken and waterman productions. btw Joy division were definitely around in the late 70s.
It's probably sacrilage to say what I think of The Smiths and The Cure (once I went to see 'The Cult' by accident because I thought I was going to see The Cure... oops.)
The 90s was much better, but I know what you mean about the 15 seconds of celeb. Apart from Elton John who's lasted 1,500 years.
this
is filth
Haha!
By all accounts lots of late 20s guys claim to have felt their first sense of 'awakening' watching Transvision Vamp videos on MTV!
that's just what i say to you:
"i want your funky love"
I swear to god, Wendy James....
is the only woman who could utter that ridiculous lyric and make it sound HOTT!
I thought it was "I want your fucking love".
^ Canadiennes, utterly filthy.
.
you better believe it!!!

its a pitty this song is not for dubai all woman want money and std's here.specialy emirates girls
Most of my male friends
had massive crushes on Wendy James in their yoof. Never did quite figure out why...
But, seriously!
: )
Tell me why then!
that is not an adequate explanation.
Watch the video Mirri!
....Isn't it obvious!?
Oh.
I can't right now. Description?
I can't see the video either...
but i guess she is wearing a bra, looking fit, and jumping around saying that she wants my love. She will have peroxide hair, plenty of make up and some day glo accessories.
She looks a bit slutty, and she looks like she bangs like the shit house door when the plague's in town.
She is basically dirty.
Aguilera and Spears have nowt on Wendy James...
HOTT
.
Oh NOW I get it!
Beestung lips: check.
Tight dress: check.
Cleavage shots: check.
Pole dancing with mic: check.
Pink (oh so girly!): check.
Singing that she wants you: check.
Desperate look in her eye: check.
Oh, you boys. So simple!
Oh come on Mirri...look at her!!!
She's just pure sex appeal.
Ahahahahah
No. She's a cheap slut who knows how to work it. That's all she is m'dear.
God I wish I was that mic...or that dress....
she's lovely and women hate sexy women!
; )
Wrong.
I love/admire/respect sexy women with gusto and/or inherent animal attractions about them.
She is just a cheap slut who knows how to turn the tricks.
:-P
and thats why we men love her
shes alright if you ask me. before my time though and the songs a bit crap.
she's not that hot
NOT THAT IT EVEN MATTERS. fucks sake.
...so you replied beacuse?
Oh and you're MASSIVELY WRONG.
: )
No
he's right, you're wrong.
nothing wrong with admitting being easily led alex. and she's an easy lead kind of girl.
He's a she and not just a she, a Charlotte!
...and on this occasion Charlotte is wrong as are you Miranda.
The lesson I draw from this is that girls with nice names are not to be trusted on the Wendy James question!
The lesson you should learn from this
cider-balls, is to get some class.
i can give you some tips if you like?
Tips from YOU?
It would be like taking childcare advice from King Herod!
; )
<insert friends theme choon>
consider yourself sacked!
all I have to say is...
I don't want your money honey, I want your love...
because she is blonde
I wasnt into them particularly at the time, however having seen the video, I may have to re-evaluate my opinion
fit as
a butchers dog
i've met her.
that's all.
What was she like IRL?!
.
this thread need bumping in case
the likes of bamos missed it earlier
-
Sue Tompkins or Debbie Harry, for me.
i read this entire thread
getting wendy james mixed up with wendy richards, the woman who played pauline fowler in eastenders.
Oh dear god!
The other end of the spectrum. Anyway, have you watched the vid, verdict?!
What Is It With These Wendy's ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBd26f1XoyY&feature=related
I don't think she's a cheap tzart
i think she's sexy, cool and stylish for the time.
I unnerstan' where you're coming from.
^ Hooray!
Mirri and Charlotte are just h8terz, innit?
Realists.
You're the one who gets off on cheap 80's whores.
I prefer cheep 00's whores.
Shes actually gat a very posh voice
by the way have you all seen this vid? I think Shirley is hott, what do you think Alex?
here she looks W****ish
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YMmoXoJkojA
and here she just looks wonderful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DI5MuRF0Tk
Oh yeah, Shirley Manson!
Whatever happened to Garbage?
It seemed like they were headlining Reading one moment and then vanished into obscurity the next!
Back on topic.......yes, yes, yes....a fine example of a lovely redhead.
When gingers get it right they get it SO right.
See also Melissa Auf der Maur.
Unfortunately I find myself
firmly in agreement with Alex in this thread.....perhaps im a closet tory
Miranda is sooooooo wrong
:)
wow
you're not wrong (and again i thought it was that eastenders crinkle - thought she'd carked it or summit)
