RECENTLY BBC MADE A DOCUMENTRY SORTA THING ABOUT HIS LIFE UP UNTIL CULTURE CLUB PROPERLY TOOK OFF.
THIS SHOWS HIM PRE-FAME AND ABIT AFTER FAME. HIS LIFE IN LONDON JUST SEEMED AMAZING TO ME, LIVING IN SQUATS WITH DRAG QUEENS AND EXENTRICS, LIVING THE PARTY LIFE AND THRIVING ON FASHION.
IT SHOWS HIS STRUGGLE WITH BOYFRIENDS AND WORK AND AT ONE POINT IT SHOWS HIM MEET MALCOM MCLAREN IN A HAIRDRESSERS WHO THEN ADDS HIM INTO A BAND WHICH HE LATER IS KICKED OUT OF. HE THEN GOES ON TO MEETING HIS GUITARIST IN A PUB AND FORMING A BAND WITH HIM AND LATER ON ASKING JOHN (HIS FORMER BOYFRIEND) TO BE THE DRUMMER. THATS WHERE IT ALL STARTED REALLY.
THERE WAS ONE THING MCLAREN SAID THOUGH WHICH STUCK IN MY MIND, HE ASKED HIM WHAT HIS NAME WAS AND HE REPLIED 'GEORGE' WITH HIS RESPONSE BEING 'AH, GEORGE. THATS FORGETTABLE' THIS IS ESSENTIALLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY NAME. THE PARENTS WERE BEING AWFULLY CREATIVE WHEN THEY CALLED ME LAURA. ABIT LAZY REALLY. I HATE IT WHEN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF ASWELL AND SOMEONES LIKE 'THIS IS LAUREN', WELL NO, IT'S NOT ACTUALLY (THIS HAPPENS ALOT) I'VE NEVER REALLY LIKED IT, IF YOU TYPED 'LAURA JONES' INTO GOOGLE COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY HITS YOU'D GET? IT'S PAINFULLY COMMON WHICH DOSEN'T REALLY SUIT MY PERSONALITY. I'M GONNA' CHANGE IT AND MOVE TO LONDON, THERES NOT MUCH IN BIRMINGHAM REALLY. IT'S ALL VERY DULL AND UNINSPIRING.
GOING BACK TO THE DOCUMENTRY THOUGH - WATCH IT. EVEN IF YOUR NOT A MASSIVE FAN. THE OUTFITS AND THE MAKEUP ARE JUST BRILLIANT AND THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS BOY (I MUST FIND HIS NAME OUT) IS B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!
A STILL FROM THE PROGRAM. YUM.
