Of course, the basic type offered many variations...
Geeky but endearing, for example..
Not to mention foreign and soulful...
Skinny and naughty...
...shading to outright bad-boy (or as bad as you can get with feathered hair)...
...to outright might-as-well-be-porn.Good times.
I got my first kiss to the big hit by foreign and soulful. It was in a dorm room, and it didn't get much further than the kiss. But I still get misty when Take on Me plays on the oldies stations.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely story from Bill.
ReplyDeleteBut where do Mr. Ant and the brothers Kemp fit on here I wonder?
Well, Bill, yours certainly beats mine; I strayed from the path of virtue for the first time with a rabid Olivia Neutron Bomb fan, so it was to the soundtrack of Xanadu. So romantic.
ReplyDeleteAs for Adam? I feel like he was just a little too rough trade somehow; and I honestly hadn't thought about Spandau B in yonks - they certainly had the cheekbones to join this lineup!
