mad lizzie - second sighting

[Louisa]

I saw Mad Lizzie (for the second time I hasten to add), and she was coming out of a house near the surgery in the Gardens over by the Rye. She looked a little older than the time I had previously seen her, so maybe she has a twin. Oh how I miss TV:AM.

[Jah Lush]

Who may I ask is Mad Lizzie?

[Louisa]

God is it just me showing my age? She was the fitness face of breakfast television in the 1980's. She often did mad whacky exercises mixed with dance routines and z lister celebs sometimes joined her to help out.

Ahh.. mad Lizzie.

Queen of the day-glo leotard / leggings combo.

All I can remember is a perm and teeth. But then I was quite young.

[Jah Lush]

In that case it's on the wrong thread. See Famous Faces or Celebrities in East Dulwich. Then again the 80s (dread decade)and "fitness face of TVAM" makes me squirm somewhat. I speak as man who takes a more Buddhist approach to morning exercise, which to the untrained eye looks rather like a large man sitting in bed drinking coffee and smoking a Marlboro Red.

[Louisa]

How on earth can you consider Mad Lizzie to be a celebrity/and or famous face you silly man.

[georgia]

If you recognised her then she must be! You seem to have given her celebrity status by starting a thread about her!

[Jah Lush]

Well, now let's not get personal Louisa, although I do have a penchant for silliness, but if you do bother to take a look at the other celebrity/famous threads it would seem that anyone who has appeared on the goggle box these days, whether they have a talent or not - see any "reality TV" or questionable "talent show" is now deemed worthy of their 15 minutes of fame and your Mad Lizzie certainly had hers otherwise you wouldn't have recognised or mentioned her in the first place.

I do believe she's cropped up before on one of those 'celebrity' threads. Indeed I seem to recall I posted up a very camp youtube video of her in her heyday with the London Boys, just to help jog those memories better left to rest.

[*Bob*]

'The London Boys'.. ha ha.

An undeniable fact about pop music combo's:

A mix of girls and boys = (taken as a) straight act

More than two boys = straight act

Two boys who are related = straight act

but

Two boys who are not related = gay act. It's a music industry fact.

[mockney piers]

Although, they weren't, difficult to believe as it is; but I bet you they had a gay following.

I'm not sure they have much of anything now other than the odd posy left at the roadside.

[Louisa]

I recognise relatives or long lost friends in the street, but I rarely if ever say hello, I just mention it to people at a later date. Does that make them celebrities? I've also appeared on London Tonight 12 years ago at a bus stop in Stanmore, I am shocked no one ever recognises me anymore!

The London Boys both traigically died in a Switzerland bus crash about 14 years ago, was very sad. Bur I do remember the Mad Lizzie YouTube thing.

[Nero]

Well, my friend Ian (who owns the rights to tv-am) tells me Mad Lizzie lives in Henley-on-Thames. He speaks to her twice a week and there's no mention of E Dulwich. Nero tv-am

[Jah Lush]

Aah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha>:D

[Louisa]

wooooow a tv-am fan site!! That's amazing.. Nero, I know Mad Lizzie when I see her, and unless she has a twin sister then surely she must be visiting someone locally because i've seen this woman twice now!

[Jah Lush]

Could be a doppelganger.
