Chrissie Hynde is gorgeous

[ratty]

I had a drink with her once in Streatham!

[macroban]

In daylight?

Comapring Chrissie Hynde to Lilly Allen is like comparing a fine Ch?teau Margaux, to a bottle of Lambrini.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oh I dunno Bren - in the fullness of time both will be remembered as people who talked a good game, produced a small number of albums with a smaller number of half-decent tunes but ultimately amounted to footnotes

[Brendan]

I dunno Mac the only socially redeeming thing Lilly Allen has ever done, and ever will do, is rhyming Tesco with Alfresco.

Chrissie Hynde on the other hand can at least play guitar.

My thoughts exactly Brendan...

but not sure anyone will know who Lily Allen is in 30 years time SMG...

don't think she got the same staying power (or class for that matter) as Chrissie Hynde

[Mick Mac]

lilly allen is good at what she does and has made the most of her abilities, so i guess i admire her for that. Chrisie is in another league however and her talents have stood the test of time. Maybe being vegan is the way forward if you want to look good at 58.

[Brendan]

Didn?t Vegans demolish the earth to make way for an intergalactic bypass?

[snorky]

skaggie - as were the rest of the pretenders ( terrible music )

wasnt she suppsoed to marry John Lydon to get a UK visa back in 75 or soemthing ?

[Mikecg]

Whos knows? but Sid V was sacked from the pretenders.

[HonaloochieB]

The first two records are little gems of pop rock, them and a greatest hits are all you need really.

I read an interview with CH some time ago where she was talking about giving up the drink.

Her reasoning was along the lines of 'I didn't mind being an alcoholic, but when I started looking like one...'

Snorky I've never associated Hynde and drummer Martin Chambers with heroin, are you sure?

Supposed to marry JL, but ( IIRC ) JL was hungover/ speeding , so he sent Sid down to take his place and Ch refused to go ahead/ ran off

With regard to CH skag - um.

Are we talking the Wickerman or his 'Equalizer' days?

Also, if you say his name out loud it sounds like a fart in the bath.

>Would you still fancy her if she hadn't been in all those kinky films?>

I have liked her since "The Lacemaker" She is a most extraordinary actor. If you think her films are kinky you should really get out more >:D<

Not sure if Isabelle Adjani is 50 yet but on my....I say..oh my!!

Well thanks for that Kel - if you don't like the thread you don't have to comment. Surely we are not all on here to talk sense. Life's rather dull when we all talk sense.

I have only seen two of her films, as far as I can recall.

In Ma Mere, her character slits her own throat while having sex with her son. There is a subplot involving BDSM.

In The Piano Teacher, she plays a masochist who embarks on an affair with a teenage student. She instructs her student to beat her up and have violent sex.

I think these films are more than a little risque, Simon... but perhaps this kind of thing passes for innocent family viewing in your household?

[TillieTrotter]

Equalizer days for me Wolfy.

[HonaloochieB]

I saw you as more of a Callan girl TT.

[sanity girl]

Jeremy - aren't you thinking of Isabelle Huppert?

[Jeremy]

Yes I am. I'm not particularly innocent, but those films made me blush, I can tell you.

Who was SimonM talking about then?

[sanity girl]

Isabelle Adjani The film that springs to mind is La Reine Margot, but there have been many others. She was rather gorgeous in her heyday.

[Jeremy]

Now I'm confused.

[RosieH]

I think he was talking about Isabelle Huppert (definitely kinky - the gynaecological self harm and weird mother-snogging in The Piano Teacher...?!) but then threw in a line about Isabelle Adjani too.

[TillieTrotter]

Really Hona, what led you to that conclusion?
