VIV ALBERTINE born 1st December 1954 - Sounds bought when they came out!

 


Viv Albertine (born the 1st of December, 1954) in Berlin, 1978. 

“I’m wearing red ballet panty hose, a blue ballet rehearsal dress (made of viscose, which falls well), a school merit badge pinned to the dress (not mine, I never got one of those), socks, and trainers. A fan has thrown her high-heeled shoes onto the stage. Maybe she realized you can still be cute in flat shoes. I’m playing a Les Paul Junior — red scarf tied to the neck — which I’ve had sprayed sparkly black.”
