| Jordan Pictured in Seditionaries 1977 Jordan (real name Pamela) was something of a star, a cultural icon in her own right. Although she was a shop assistant (in Seditionaries, the shop owned by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McCIaren), there's little that was mere routine in her life. Jordan was the manager of early Adam And The Ants and 'Sex' shop assistant in the early burgeoning London punk scene. Adam fancied her like mad!!! And even let her scream like a real Banshee on the classic 'Lou'. Because of her looks and associations with the New Wave, when she went to America and was given the star treatment and even got a spot on television in 77. Jordan was another scene stealer and would make the journey to 'Sex' in the latest Westwood/McLaren creations. An act of bravery in '76 which had her fellow train commuters quickly picking up their copies of the Times, moving seats or fucking off to the toilets for some quick relief. Her obsession was fashion. So every incident in her life (she was 20 when this shot was taken) is referred to via associations with clothes worn and make-up applied. Steve Jones reckons she had the most balls out any of the outrageous punks walking around at the time. Like a lot of the pioneering punks, she ain't aged disgracfully, but lets remember her at her best. She is now a veternary nurse and has settled down to surburbia with her prize winning cats.
