okay, so this is a bit weird. i would say i couldn't tell you how i found myself to be watching the video for page-3 girl turned 80s popstar turned surprisingly decent 'celebrity come dine with me' contestant samantha fox's video for 'naughty girls (need love too).' but, in fact, i remember my journey exactly. firstly i was looking up swedish chef videos to annoy my boyfriend with (bork bork bork), then i was inadvertantly 'rick rolled', then through a related link i ended up watching samantha fox bump and grind with some Gs on the streets.
anyway. what struck me, apart from the delightfully embarrassing spoken-word sections and the funky fresh prince lookalikes, was sam fox's super-fun coloured hair. we all know coloured hair is hot right now (blah blah blah) but, what i like about her's is the way the pink dye is on the tips of her fringe as well as the tips of her hair. and as i am a fringe + bob girl myself, i felt inspired, and now here she is on my list of fashion originals. bam!
ps. i also like her outfit (stockings, skater skirt, cut out top, biker boots, big leather jacket) hence the particularly dodgy full length screen-grab.
oh and here's the video: may you bask, or perhaps barf, in it's 7 minute glory.

clearly bump and grind, obv.
or were you being ironic?
but its always said bump and grind? no irony here.
she WAS surprisingly decent on come dine with me!
ahaha such a source of inspiration, CDWM. i love the coloured tips though! x
OMG! Fuck, I listen to Touch Me (I Wanna Feel Your Body) and I am not ashamed. Sam Fox is cool, FACT.
I agree!!! The Fox rocks! x
When I was leaving Sweden, a man behind the counter of the lunchroom on the boat to Denmark spoke EXACTLY like the Swedish chef - as he placed our sandwiches on the desk, he kept mumbling in Swedish and it sounded suspiciously like "whoop ti doo, chickin in the basket, bork bork bork". I like to think the Muppet makers went to Sweden once and inspired the Swedish chef on this man.
As for Samantha Fox, I have never heard of her but she's clearly badass!
Kim, I LOVE your Swedish story! Was in a real grump today but that's really cheered me up! Thanks!
