anybody?...I remember rock and punk mags back in the day, but new wave?...and wouldn't these super freaks have been more likely spotted in the pages of Hustler or Oui?

I think the popular perception of new wave chicks was that they put out

cf. the classic "why do punk rock guys go out with new wave girls?"

For some reason I always thought of Creem when I heard that line.

Wasn't this about the time that all those new, hip yuppie fashion mags started showing up?
