The huge padded plastic letters of the new name were shocking pink. Malcolm and Vivienne had gone all the way - making public display of the leather and rubber stuff that fetishists succumbed to in private. The two little pictures above show Vivienne sporting a strappy ensemble and the all-in-one ´rubber johnny´ suit. Jordan ( shopgirl of the year ) wowed fellow commuters from Sussex by boarding the train in such apparel. The shop´s wall were thick with gobs of latex and sprayed with lines from things like the S.C.U.M. Manifesto. Malcolm formed the Sex Pistols. A boy was arrested in Picadilly Circus for wearing a T-shirt of two semi-nude cowboys. The Police swooped. Jordan starred in Jarman´s Jubilee.
