“Dear Elle, Love Kylie”
Read the cassette that came in the mail.
Let’s ignore the fact that my brother got an identical package from Johnny Farnham on the same day. (Yes, Chain Reaction.)
Let’s also ignore the fact that the script was in my Grandfather’s handwriting.
It was 1989 and I was, without doubt, the luckiest girl in the world.
I played that tape until it wore all the way through and then begged for another.

Kylie – the Princess of Pop and the woman who needs no last name – gave us The Locomotion, Better The Devil You Know and Spinning Around … And so much more than that. She gave us those gold hotpants, the Showgirl costume and how to truly wear denim.
In honour of her birthday, we look back at some of her best…
Denim dreams
