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?"

Boy, looking at that Trouser Press tape cover explains a lot.

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?
