Haha, maybe I should become a fashion influencer after all! And now that I got reminded of my old shoes, I’d like to get a green pair again myself!
By the way, Solovair have great customer service. I ordered two pairs in different styles and sent one back, and their delivery and refund was quick and well-documented.

Thanks that’s good to know.
I didn’t need much influencing in all honesty. I just needed someone to push me to do it
I’d say green but I own both glittery and sequin docs so I’m clearly some sort of magpie rather than a human.
Magpies and humans dream the same dream! (I am braleaves from pruning overhead today)
My cherry DMs I think were prompted by parklife Damon A and were a mega present from Dolcis in the early/mid 90s. That was the made in England heyday but I got slight duds- one tongue always lies wonky and jabs into my shin, and as soon as they creased a bit of cherry chipped off
. I'm talking about them in the present tense though and they're still watertight and have grip.

I’ve got DMs in a shiny cherry red ( bought off eBay for £70, they looked like they’d never been worn! ) and they also go with loads of things so glad you’re trying a different colour and don’t get me wrong, I LOVE black
Mavis’s opinion is all we really needBlew my mind the first time i heard it “dear Mavis if you tell us what your thoughts are and i hope there not biased cos you are the vicars daughter”
Same as when i heard Lola by The Kinks
Mansun really were amzing, they created whole worlds in the their music.
I love how Britpop/indie/alternative music evolved so much in the 90s, you had Manchester in the early 90s, the “new wave “ with Suede etc, then 95/96 was “pure Britpop“ bands like Blur, Oasis, Elastica, Supergrass, then by late 96/97 there was Mansun, Radiohead, The Verve, with more atmospheric thoughtful music.
(I know no bands actually labelled themselves Britpop! And my whole post is a bit of a generalisation, but I hope you guys know what I mean, it’s just too cold here to think it through and explain properly! )

So many good bands mentioned in that post!
Ashamed to admit that until I saw them at a festival I thought the lead singer of Mansun was female
I love that! you must have been shocked when Paul Draper rocked up!So many good bands mentioned in that post!

I think it was probably the very last great music "scene". What a time, such fond memories! Kids / teens / young adults don't get that same sense of belonging as we did back then, everything is so generic and the atmosphere is gone just seeing it through a screen.
What amazes me is how alternative music evolved so often, and so quickly in the 90s. Indie music was so different in the early 90 compared to the mid 90s, then again different in late 90s.
and what made it such an exciting time as a music lover was that simultaneously, the same thing was happening in dance music! so many new genres within the genre.

FM boots and Adidas Gazelles were my mid-90s getup
Love this post so much. It really was a great time.
I used to take photos of bands in the late 90's/early 2000's and the main reason I sort of fell out of it was because there just didn't really feel like a 'scene', if that makes sense. It all felt a bit disjointed. Probs also because a lot of the bands were American at the time and I didn't connect with them as much (around time of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, WAS etc, although I did love those in particular) and there maybe wasn't as much touring.
You’d be shocked if he rocked up now. There were comments on here before about him sliding into DMs of fans and the stalking charges.
I’ve struggled to find anything about Stove nicking off with all the money and I love how the Mansuphone was run by one of their mums like a cottage industry!
I’d love to see him now, he was my teenage crush
Probably best you don't then; he's not looking...great.I’d love to see him now, he was my teenage crush
I am very glad that I was a Chad girl back in the day 
Ooh have you tracked him down?
I loved him, my friend loved Paul. Paul looks the same but a little fatter (but not large), Chad looks good.
I couldn’t give a tit what Andi looks like now
He ruined my skin up pin up and his eyebrow piercing always gave me the ick as it was hanging in his eye 
Mansun was my mid/late nineties band. I saw Paul again when he toured AOTGL 4-5 years ago and it was nicely nostalgic, but ended up in a FB group post that that he runs/posts in and he's pretty creepy and prone to having massive strops about stuff.
