| Helen Of Troy Helen Wellington-Lloyd AKA Helen Of Troy. Helen was portrayed in the 'The Great Rock N Roll Swindle' Film as Malcolm McLaren's sidekick. She was the South African born dwarf who created the first ever Sex Pistols logo's on the floor of her Bell Street flat.(later refined into the now infamous Jamie Reid blackmail logo). Helen had first met McLaren in '68 at Goldsmiths College where they had a brief fling. She was an integral part of the Soho nightlife mixing with the Prostitutes and doing the odd trick herself. Through her connection with Malcolm she became a regular face in the early London punk scene, which she felt secure in and not just another sideshow. Helen took to the punk scene like a duck to water. Pictured here back in 1976 at her Bell Street flat. Little is known of her whereabouts since the release of The Swindle, except that on 20 September 2001 Helen auctioned her extensive collection of Sex Pistols memorabilia at Sotheby's in West Kensington, London.
