 The Face Of '77 | Sex - The Shop | Jordan & Punk | Ant Music | Jubilee | And Finally... | Interview | Gallery | Women In Punk | Links 

  Original Sex boutique assistant and yet another style guru. Jordan became one of the most outrageous and sussed Punkettes on the London Scene. Originating from a small coastal village she would travel on commuter filled trains from her South east Coast base to London in some of Vivienne Westwood's most shocking creations. She became a willing human guinea pig for Vivienne's latest punk fashion designs and would wear everything and anything on the changing face of the Kings Road punk scene. Gained early fame at an embryonic Pistols gig by being stripped by Johnny Rotten on stage. 

She became manager of Adam & The Ants in their hardcore punk era 1977 and got up on stage to sing the Warholian 'Lou'. In 1978 she gained film stardom in Derek Jarman's fantasy punk noir 'Jubilee' singing a buxom 'Rule Britannia'. She faded out of focus in the early 80's claiming punk wasn't a challenge anymore and returned to her roots on the south coast. Now works as a veterinary nurse and breeds Burmese cats.
