There are few life-stories out there as punk as Jordan's.

Hailing from Seaford, on the south coast, Pamela Rooke, who took the name Jordan at 14, trained as a ballet dancer throughout her childhood, before becoming an avid David Bowie fan -- dressing up and hanging out at the gay clubs of nearby Brighton or London.

You were clearly very into clothes from a young age -- where did that interest in image and appearance come from? Very much so. That’s where I cut my teeth and began to enjoy social dressing up. At school I was laughed at, basically, because nobody could understand why I would have my hair cut really short, or have different colours in my hair. The gay clubs at that time were mostly male clubs -- there weren’t many female gay clubs in Brighton then.

Down here in Seaford it was very difficult, there were many occasions where I had big trouble with people who felt I was being obscene, and didn’t understand why I looked the way I did. On the train from Seaford to London I had occasions where people got violent with me. I thought once I’d moved to London and lived there it’d be easy, but it wasn’t really. You’d still have the men on the scaffolding wolf whistling and thinking because you’re dressed like that you are easy game for them.

It was quite shocking to read in the book that Vivienne sacked you in the early-80s because you got married! Are you still mates with her?
