Who remembers their first holiday as a teenager without their parents? The hazy, drunken memories, feeling ill the next day, and the music blaring from every bar you walked past?
Here are a few photos of Flossie on her first holiday with friends in Clacton, 1974/75 (?). Jive Talkin’ by the Bee Gees seemed to be playing everywhere.
The other photos are from Ibiza, 1987/88 (?). Note the jokingly placed pink stiletto stuck in the sand, and the 28 outfits her friend had made and insisted on bringing with her, scattered all over the hotel room. Bamboléo by the Gipsy Kings was hugely popular in those days.
Bamboléo really reminds her of that holiday! And she definitely didn’t fall off her stilettos… honest! 😉
