Bugger.

Like 90's pop culture is being erased.

Ohh dear, the Rough Guide lady?

Corrrr, she was utterly brilliant in that and a real cultural influence on a few of my friends ..

Couldn't remember the name until i saw the picture of her, then came flooding back..

Can someone call Terry Christian and make sure he's feeling alright?

I was a massive Rough Guide fan. Magenta (and Sankha) were responsible for filling my head with a kinds of wonderfully daft travel ideas. RIP

Darn. Always fancied her. Saw her a lot wandering around town when I had a studio in Soho, always seemed cool and edgy as she was wandering between whatever it was she was doing.

Yes, she was. Their publicist iirc. Me and my mates were big fans back in the day. Couple of awesome road trips to see them.
That late night Channel X thing was her doing I think. Groundbreaking stuff.
RIP

Via relationship with Tony James (ex Generation-X) but I mostly remember her from Rough Guide. Sixty one seems so young to die these days

Oh yeah, it was Network 7 I was thinking of. She used to present it.

for some reason I visualised a fat transvestite who had a minor hit in the eighties, then realised she was a bit of a teen crush in raybans from various youth programmes back then. Sad for her friends and family, she can't have been much older than 50 or so.
