Known for her iconic eye make-up, “skunk� hairdo and anarchist attitude, it’s insanely easy to see why “Third-Degree Burns� is the poster girl for the proto-punk era.With a closet that seems to consist solely of a few skimpy, sheer blouses and dark underwear – which Burns modestly wears with some tights and high-heeled booties, she embodies all that is a true ‘80s punk rock chick. Sure, the whole see-through negligee look may not be for everyone but hey, Burns was rocking that whole ‘underwear as outerwear’ trend before anyone even knew what it meant.

Mixing her non-conformist attitude with riot grrrl-esque plaid skirts, vintage tees, bold glasses and of course – acid-green hair, Enid’s got it all. From creepers to biker jackets with some cutesy vintage collared shirts thrown in for good measure, she totally nails her “obvious, 1977 original punk rock lookâ€?.

PONY Â TALE

by Laura-Jane Ross When  we  think  back  to  our  childhood,  we’re  often  graced  with  Toy  Story  style  memo-­ ries  of  our  furry  and  plastic  best  friends.  Friends  that  were  everything  we  need-­ ed, because that’s how we made them up to be. The 80’s and 90’s were great for all the different toys that girls could have and be imaginative with. Beanie Babies, Furbies, and my personal favourites; My Little Ponies. Days on end would be spent with these multi-coloured plastic horses, taking them on adventures and creating unique personalities for every single one of them. It was innocent fun at it’s best, but quite recently I’ve found myself asking (and I know I’m not alone in this): Where are they now? In a bid to answer this question, I entered the world of collectLQJ GHDG VHW RQ Ă€QGLQJ P\ ROG SODVWLF IULHQGV DQG OHDUQLQJ some new things about the plastic-pony world along the way. Collecting at an age past thirteen might sound a little odd, especially when the ‘collections’ in question are in IDFW FKLOGUHQ¡V WR\V 7KLV ZDV WKH Ă€UVW WKRXJKW WKDW HQWHUHG my mind, but it was quickly kicked back out again when I realised that there’s a whole online world of people out there who are looking for remnants of their childhood too. I stumbled upon the My Little Pony Arena - an online community where collectors trade, sell, chat and customize WKHLU RZQ SRQ\ FUHDWLRQV , ZDV ZDU\ DW Ă€UVW P\ SHUFHStions (probably like the rest of the modern world) were along the lines of ‘hmm, do I want to be associated with

these middle-aged freaks?’. The answer, I found, was yes. And as it happens, the ‘freaks’ in question turned out to be everyday, average people, just looking to gain a little bit of their childhood back. To take a hold of something that they used to cherish so much and try and bring that adolescent happiness into their mundane, everyday lives. That was it. From then, I was hooked. My herd was gradually growing, but it paled in comparison to the pony colonies of some of the friends’ I’d made on the arena. In the community, some members have as many as 2000 ponies, and dedicate whole rooms of their houses to showcasing their achievements. I soon discovered there were ponies I couldn’t even have imagined existed. There were even foreign variants, which were dubbed in the community as ‘Nirvanas’ and beneath all the plastic playfulness, were people that I’d have never met if it weren’t for this shared love of something so simple. People from all over the world, from various different backgrounds and different decades.

But most of all, I felt young again. My inner child was squealing inside with delight. I felt inspired. Collecting has always been a quirk of human nature. Whether it be postage stamps, bottle caps or plastic horses, it gives everyone a sense of achievement who embarks on it. There’s a thrill, a chase, and a reward at the

When  and  How  did  Photoautomat  all  start  out? Photoautomat was established about 6-7 years ago in Germany by my friends Ole and Asger. They started off with one booth in Berlin. Back then it was just a fun project for them, but soon they became very popular and they had to install more booths to meet the demand.

The FaCtory Photography Andrzej lepka Styling Amy Edgar

The word ‘factory’ for most conjures up images of a large drab space, filled with mechanical machinery and bored workers in hairnets and 1940s attire…skip back to the 60s however, and you’ll find the word ‘factory’ was associated with something that was far from dull and monotonous. For it was Andy Warhol’s illustrious factory in Midtown Manhattan that became the hippest hangout in New York City and a symbol of the decade that was ruled by the young. Warhol’s factory was a hub of creativity, frequented by drag queens, drug addicts, musicians, actors and general arty-types who became known as ‘Warhol Superstars’. The talented and often troubled superstars included Billy Name, Nico, Candy Darling and, of course, the infamous and gorgeous Edie Sedgwick.

GO WILD King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. Probably one of the city’s most famous and legendary venues (Yep, Oasis were discovered AND signed here) King Tut’s remains a firm favourite with Glasgow’s music-loving crowd. Despite it’s small, underground location, it’s boasted acts that include Radiohead, Interpol, No Doubt, Hot Chip and Pulp alongside young, emerging local bands throughout it’s 21-year reign. Pop in for a quick drink at the underground bar or party the night away listening to an array of live music in the intimate gig space upstairs and find out for yourself just why NME thinks King Tut’s is “quite
