SUPERBABES STATION: SUPERBABE 106: KIM WILDE

In the realm of mid-eighties pop there wasn't any UK male out there who didn't lust after the gorgeous, red-lipsticked pouty singer- genuine sex on legs!- that was Kim Wilde, starting out as an eighties rebel breaking out from the punk era and turning into a wondrous Monroe-esque sex symbol. Forget the enjoyable enough songs, just seeing her perform on stage in tight-formed mini-skirts or bodices was enough to make me happy. I was fortunate to see her in the flesh circa 1988 and she really was a knockout. With the passing of time, she'd become a devoted mum and gardening /lifestyle presenter, but you can't take the music, or the sex appeal, out of this classy lady- releasing new singles and going on tours. Happily, every so often when I catch her on the goggle box, I get a warm tingle of nostalgia seeing a little bit of her previous sassy naughtiness coming through in her eyes or expressions.
