SOO CATWOMAN
BIO - BY WIKIPEDIA
She had a similar attitude and avant-garde style of dress to the late 1970s UK punk bands. In The Filth and the Fury, Johnny Rotten points her out among early punks, citing her "skill, style, and bravery".[1]

Her trademark "Catwoman" haircut was created in an Ealing barber shop under her direction in 1976. The hair around the sides and back was severely cropped close to the head in the traditional skinhead style, but the two sides flared up to suggest the ears of a cat. Portions of the hairstyle were dyed different colours – the flared "ears" being black and the cropped parts being bleached.

She argues that she was never a member of the Bromley Contingent, the group of followers and fans of the Sex Pistols which lived in Bromley, a neighbourhood in London, such as Siouxsie Sioux and Billy Idol. While she was also associated with the Bromley Contingent, she does not consider herself to have been a member[2].

Photos and likenesses of Soo Catwoman were, and remain, popular in punk rock media. She appeared in a number of punk documentaries and concert films. She declined to appear in Malcolm McLaren's The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, though her persona was portrayed by actress Judy Croll. She now resides in London with her son and daughter.
