Hmmmm, first time I saw the Perfect Kiss video, back in the summer of '90 I took one look at Barney and though, "Sh!t, I should fix my hair up like that." Best decision I ever made, no more mop top, just closely cropped and shaved in the back and on the sides. Much nicer. Though I don't dig men, I suppose that speaks to what I thought of Barney in that era, really he looked quite handsome in the eighties (with JD he just looked rather dull to me, sweet, but dull). Hooky always looked like some angry pirate, the type of guy I imagine women like my brother's girlfriend would dig. Stephen I was always ambivalent about, he looked like a nice guy, but certainly not hunky in any particular way.
Gillian never struck me as hot, but she often looked attractive, and kind, and even though she (and the rest of the band) seemingly hit the wall in the nineties, just listening to her in the Neworderstory interviews left me completely charmed with her. She came across as good humored, sweet, soft spoken, and obviously strong enough to hold her own in an all male kick arse band in an era where mod bands, and bands in general were strictly male, or strictly female, and rarely mixed. She was definitely the kind of woman I'd be attracted to in the eighties and the personality I'd find attractive in the nineties.
