NEVER FORGET HOW THE GREAT SIXTIES MUTATED INTO A CRUCIAL LOOK SUCH AS THIS ONE.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on the quintessential face of first wave UK punk rock -- Soo "Catwoman" Lucas, photographed by Peter Marlow at the Roxy Club, London, England, c. 1976.
WE HEART THIS: "How did you get involved with the punk scene, and at what age?"
SOO LUCAS: "I had always been aware that I was an "odd one out" due to my dress sense and hairstyles and it was apparently my appearance that prompted an invite from a girl who approached me one Saturday during the Summer of 1976 when I was out shopping with Marco Pirroni (of ADAM AND THE ANTS).
She invited me to Club Louise that night in Poland Street, London. It was there that I met Sid and John for the first time. I was 21."
WE HEART THIS: "Who did you really enjoy hanging out with back then?"
SOO: "Sid and John in the early days, before they were famous. I hung out a lot with Sid on his own too but he was always happier when John was around. They were like a comedy double act and both had a great sense of humour.
They seemed to know what each other were thinking. Despite the seriousness that comes across in the old pictures and footage of that time – it was also very light-hearted and a lot of fun."
