1.24 tThe girl on Steve Strange's arm is his then-girlfriend and housemate Francesca von Thyssen - from a filthy rich Austrian industrialist family who got a Baron title for being rich.

In 1993 she married the heir to the Habsburg family, Archduke Karl, If the Austro-Hungarian empire still existed, she would be Empress.

were they also known as Club Kids?

[threelittlewonders]

@BornThisWayANTHONY No, the Club Kids were from NY and formed during the 90's. The Blitz Kids were from London early 1980's. The Bitz Kids were much cooler. They formed a youth movement known as the New Romantics.

poulsontheprick describes himself as being against fascism on his page...but continually uses terms such as faggots...well if nothing else he does not understand irony!

[poulsontheprick]

[jrmetmoi]

God I wish I was one of them. Almost any scene from the 70s through the early to mid 80s, I wish i could have been a part of, especially the scenes going on in London or in NYC. Time machine please! I thought that Stephen Hawking was supposed to be a genius?! I mean where the hell IS that contraption, do you know what I mean? And yet Hawking was supposed to be the one who wrote about wormholes and things like that...I mean I know that he's ill but...you know?

[seasaltfreak]

Oh, Thank You so much for sharing!!! :-) How come the world, instead of progressing, is sliding more and more into conservatism and eventually into darkness?! When did Evolution mean admiring people in the music industry that have NO knack and NO personality whatsoever?! When?! The current global situation is disgusting!!! The era in this vid was a milestone and some of us that had the amazing good fortune to experience it, were truly blessed. Then again, how do you endure Now?!

[jrmetmoi]

@seasaltfreak Yes if you were at least 14 years old around the time of this footage and could at least try to act grown and sne4ak into these clubs, then I ENVY YOU!!!!!!!!!

[yoenace]
