Anne McKevitt
Don't deny it - we all watch those Changing Rooms programmes. No, none us of like that chap with the frock coat and the shoulder-length hair (double-barrelled names are VERY 80's), but we do love little Anne. Her fantastic head of hair and impish smile makes all that grouting and artexing worthwhile. |

Malcolm McLaren
Can confidently claim to have invented Punk Rock. Malcolm’s home-spun philosophy of Chaos, Revolution and Situationism gelled perfectly with the anarchic maelstrom that was the Sex Pistols.
A few years later, he was still at it, telling us that Buffalo Girls do it on the outside and Madam Butterfly was begging for it.
Somehow, I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Malcolm and his shock of Red hair. |
