Bin-bag

Lou snapped off a bin-bag from the roll. In her present mood, there were some things she wasn't going to shy away from any more.

On special occasions, like when we went to the Marquee in London to see The Damned, I wore: the big black jacket; a black plastic bin-bag with holes cut for arms and head which I emblazoned with safety pins; a pair of vintage gold stilettos; ripped fishnet stockings, and er...that's it.

Up a street called The Grove, just before the tax office, there's this alley, half hidden by a skip overflowing with bin-bags smelling of bubbling nappies.
