#melbourne sharpies

(Imo live version of jump in my car is just alright, studio version imo is much better but they took it off Spotify)

(Actually pretty much the whole ball power album is great)

(Again whole album is like 10/10 unless you listen to it way too many times like myself)

I’d put like dragon and split enz down as something else to listen to but uh they’re technically from nz (same with mother goose)

Thanks for the ask!

1. Kathy is associated with yellow since she wears it a lot and so does Sandy. Julie wears a lot of blues and greens but most of them include that in their outfits, Denise wears a lot of reds and blacks. Jack, Trevor, Bruce and Charlie wear a lot of dark colours (pretty much all the sharpies wear dark colours and the brushes wear lighter colours since my story is historical fiction)

5. Since all of them are sharpies their clothing is more or so a mix of practicality and aesthetic stuff

Sharpies and flappers:

1. Female sharpies especially in the 60s had short hair which was mainly similar to that of the flappers.

2. Both female sharpies and flappers wore dresses though there were some sharpies who wore jeans or other types of pants and shirts.

3. Probably never interacted with each other, unless someone’s grandma was a flapper idk.

Sharpies and mods:

Both sharpies and mods were rivals though they were quite similar in the sixties with music (though some sources say otherwise), and the girls had similar tastes in style eg: short hair, shortish skirts (mods had mini skirts while sharpies had woollen skirts that I guess could be considered mini skirts), both wore tights especially in the colder weather but that’s where the similarities in fashion end. Both hate rockers.

Sharpies and rockers:

Both wear sort of woollen like dresses or skirts, similar music taste but not really, the rockers didn’t really interact with the sharpies much also both hated mods and skegs / surfies.

Sharpies and skegs/surfies:

Both hate rockers. That’s all.
