according to my mom: Prince..I started listening when I was 12-13 years old. She was not pleased to say the least but she was the one that started it- she bought me the Controversy album

At a much younger age I loved the Bay City Rollers....and Rick Springfield

In different eras of life....

when I was around 5 or so, one of my "church outfits" was a plaid jacket/pants combo from Sears...Brady Bunch style.....

when I was in high school, in the heyday of Prince getting big....I wore a black "Rude Boy" muscle shirt.....I weighed roughly somewhere in the neighborhood of a buck-OH-five soaking wet.....you know its bad when your muscle shirt is loose.....

luckily I grew up and developed a decent sense of style.....

I can't believe I'm confessing this.....I was obsessed with Macrame when I was 11 or 12.

Rick Springfield was my next door neighbor long after he stopped being a hot commodity

The girl up the street had been obsessed with him years earlier. Imagine, he actually moved to the same block as her...15 years later

tell him SodaNation just threw Jesse's Girl into their repertoire, AND I thought he was hot as Zac on BSG in the 70s

I used to love that song from 1984 i think it was called 'We're Not Gonna Take It' i really don't know why i liked this song- it was so inconsistant with other music and songs i liked when i was 3 and 4 years old. Every Saturday morning that song would come up on the music show and i'd have my 'twinkle twinkle little star' guitar and i'd go sick on it in my pjs around the loungeroom and my parents would just kinda watch me in amusement.

Later on I also liked MinniVanilli (sp) sorry but i did but i was very annoyed when i found out they were miming and also a bit ...let's forget that ever happened.

I was made to wear tracksuits everyday and i hated it. I liked pretty dresses with the matching ribbons and particularly with the matching bag. I never took much of a liking into wearing what was in for kids at the time hehe. I remember oversized sweater dresses were the go and I got a children's one for my fourth birthday. When i saw it i was bamboozled and said 'OH! I'll wear it when i'm 21! ' because it was oversized lol. My mum had to force me to wear it- and the only time i wore it was when she took me into her work the following year and i remember one of the ladies she worked with said 'and don't you look pretty in that outfit?!' and i was like i think she may have been told i didn't want to wear it that morning lol!
