Soft Cell with Miss Bond the Governess by Chalkie Davies for The Face magazine, 1981

‟We were joined by a bona fide dominatrix found through a card in a shop window. Dave loved all the S&M imagery. I was the one who probably felt more uncomfortable with it.” — Marc Almond, Marc Almond (photo book, 2015)

The synthpop duo is the perfect dynamic to me. One is the goblin that presses buttons while the other sings a beautiful ballad about whatever they were both hyperfixating on that week
