Could be LM, although I reckon her hair was more bouffant than spiky. Can't think who else it might be?

I actually thought it was Sinead O'Connor at first going by the face, but can't recall her having (any) hair like that.

He was stumping me but I'd be happy to think you're on the money.

Yeah, I thought her hair was a bit far fetched but she'd have to get a mention and I can't think of who else it could be...............she was very rootable to say the least.

I now have 3 screens going, one with the current convo, one with picture and one with the updated list. :lol:
