Poly Styrene in 1977.

Efteling

Young Kate Bush made her television debut in 1978 on a Dutch TV special produced by the Efteling theme park in the Netherlands. (Efteling had recently opened their haunted castle Spookslot and wanted to show off the park's new attraction). Kate is such a clever and sincere artist. I think she is pure magic.

Princess

I love this picture of teenage Lady Diana on a Swiss ski vacation. I wonder if she drank from that bottle of Johnny Walker? Who is her SKI BOB and what is he reading? This picture was taken about a year before she met Prince Charles.

Two days after her famous engagement, the Daily Mirror purchased this photo from a scandal-monger. The editor decided to nix it from publication and I like to imagine that their grease-pen veto came straight from the teenage Diana herself.

I, as many others do, feel a strange kinship with her. I'm not even sure why, really.
