’80s hc punk mohawk = (photo by: bill hallman, atlanta)
I stumbled across the Flickr of Tonya, a girl who was totally into the Atlanta punk scene in the ’80s. She lives in San Francisco now but plans to dig through more old B&W negatives of punk shows at Metroplex et al and eventually add them to Flickr.

She’s a little older than me (hence, she was going to house parties in L5P and I wasn’t) but those were awesome, fascinating times. I certainly hope she DOES upload those Metroplex photos because there’s very, very few of them on the Internet. Best post this week!!!!
These people are all so beautiful! Who looked that awesome in high school???
I think Siouxie Sioux makeup covers up the ravages of adolescence and insecurity. Why didn’t we think of that in the late 90s!?!?!?
