Runaways
Bravo X-Mas Bazaar 1978
Every year, Bravo would procure gifts from stars for their readers to win. Sometimes these were spectacular, sometimes the stars probably knew little about it. Headliners in Bravo of 6 December 1978:
• The black lycra outfit Livvy wore in the “Tell Me About It , Stud” scene in Grease (seriously? That must be worth hundreds of thousands now)! Only for girls size 36! Fuck it, I’m a girl size 36.
• Joan Jett and Sandy West of The Runaways give away a stage costume each.
• The Bay City Rollers give away trousers and jackets, signed. (How’s Mutti going to get that out?)
• Signed electric guitar from Status Quo and signed acoustic guitar from Smokie.
• Signed skateboard from Leif Garrett.
