I think there's a pic or two of Siouxsie and Chrissie in Vacant--the "history
of punk" released last year.  I know it is available at least in the U.S. and
U.K.  And as regarding the SEX shop, I'd say Vivienne Westwood was the bigger
influence, no?
 
And speaking of fashion--it was great to see the photo of Siouxsie from
London's fashion week on Sandra's noctuary site.  Check out those boots!  She
seems to have a constant presence on the London and Paris fashion scenes---I
wonder who her favorite designers are...  Gaultier still among them?
 
And how about our own favorite designers?  I'm mad for Westwood.  And I also
love Costume Nationale and ... W&LT.  Oh and of course Lip Service--great web
site.
