Christina Amphlett(1959-2013)

Lead singer of Divinyls, 1980-1997 and 2006-2009.

I felt very vulnerable singing, "I'm through hanging around all of the boys in town." It was difficult for me. I couldn't stand there and sing them. I felt I wasn't being interesting. I wanted to also perform and entertain or transport people also. I wanted other levels. So I went out and got a school uniform and probably Vince got suspenders and stockings. That freed me and then everything changed. With watching everybody's reaction, all the men around me and everything, because there were all of these contradictions going on, it just made me angrier. I think I was angry because I didn't want them to think I'm a pushover or I'm submissive because I've got these suspenders on and that I'm a slut, basically.
