      …there is quite a bigger and more lively mod scene in my city than I would have thought. End of January, there is another of those club nights with a special collection of 60’s music from the mod area. And: In the announcement it says that they would appreciate sharply dressed people.

      you don’t have to tell me twice to dress up in a sharp way, but how to? :? :?
      I couldn’t really find a pattern for a mod girl’s dresscode, besides of mini dresses, maybe. but in which shape? which shoes? what to do with my hair?

      of course I won’t deviate from wearing black, nor I won’t cut my hair, but apart from that, I’m open for suggestions! :D
      what would you guys and girls wear??? :?:

        I don’t know if Mod and Ska fit in the same category–but I’d say Ruby Red lipstick and a Scottish cap–not to oversimplify–but that’s what comes to mind with Mod-wear for me… duck shoes, bowling shoes or Doc’s… pffff… don’t know… BTW, you do look hot in your photo 8) :P

            I always thought the mod look in the `80s was dress in black :)
            A girl in my grade 8 class had the coolest mod look:usually always in ripped black clothes,heavy on the eye makeup,and the first day of school she had a fake parrot on her shoulder :D everytime I hear Theresa`s Sound World by Sonic Youth I think of her.She was a really nice person too 8)

              Sounds like a cool time 8)

              I’m thinking Emma Peel or Nancy Sinatra for the look. Knee high tight boots with mini dress/skirt, heres a couple links for research. I think the hair on the top left of the 1st link would be great on you…

              sixties fashion

              I was a sort mod back in the day, plastic polka dot raincoat, cigarette pants, chelsea boots. I had this great pink beaded sleeveless mini dress with matching jacket… 8)

              You might want to check out London this w/e for some pleasing mod clothes, try Carnaby Street :wink:

              cool dress from page 4 of the 2nd link, with some black leather boots, lots of black eye liner…:mrgreen:

                  Boy, I’m way off base–aren’t I? I thought Mods hung out with Teddys–and rode around on their Vespas…

                          I’ll keep my eyes open in London, especially in the vintage shops rambleon recommended to me. …I’m afraid I’ll spend a hell of money there :o

                          gotta pack my bag now :)

                              no cool dress was found in London…
                              I have a "Barbarella dress" out of glossy black cloth, so I guess this one has to do it…

                                If you want to check out some music try searching for Nothern Soul on SoulSeek. You should get a huge list of Kent or Trojan compilations, usually 20+ songs per disc, I’ve downloaded & burnt at least 70 discs for a friend of mine who just loves european mod culture/sounds.

                                Enjoy the show this w/e 8)
