80's Pop Princesses, your favourite ?
So,
Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Tiffany, Carol Decker, Toyah (maybe not), Wendy James etc etc.
If she had a hit in the eighties, fair game, which was your favourite, I was thinking Carol Decker but a quick Youtube swayed me in favour of Wendy James.
Not really, think about music here by the way !

Hmm, how about a bit of Neneh Cherry, tough one apart from the fact that in some photo's she looks a bit like Dave Lister from Red Dwarf.....
Tanita Tikaram kind of looks like Lloyd Cole in frock and was a bit of a serious studenty sour puss for my tastes.
I met the one from Swing Out Sister with a mate from school who knew her before she got famous in Manchester, get me with my celeb lifestyle !
Dont forget Sabrina, Boys, Boys Boys.....

Anyone remember Vixen and Lita Ford...

Remember having a crush on the girl from the Aha video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914
But she doesnt look all that pretty now.
Stevie Nicks I guess was 80s in part, sometimes looks stunning, other times like Pauline Calf

Kirsty Macoll had a something, she was my favourite "older woman" bakc as a 16 year old when 22 sounded impossibly old and sophisticated.

How can we forge, Kim Wilde !

Though she doesnt look her best in that one,
Perhaps a bit of Claire Grogan ?

Joan Jett must get a look in, as should Lorraine McIntosh (of Deacon Blue).
And a personal, early 80's favourite.......

(look out for our very own PS Lewis - on the exercise bike in blue shorts)

I just remember her being a bit too wholesome and having big, chunky knit sweaters whilst poncing around in shopping centres.

Branigan, Flanagan...all sounds the same as a pissed 16 year old! 
Anyway - possibly one of THE best songs/video combo of the 80's?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUiTQvT0W_0
I know she was mad as a box of frogs, but what charisma!
Still sends shivers down my spine listening to this.
