Jordan (Pamela Rooke)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jordan (born Pamela Rooke on 23 June 1955) in Seaford, East Sussex, is a model and actress noted for her work with Vivienne Westwood and the SEX boutique in the Kings Road area of London in the mid-1970s.
She was a fixture at many of the early Sex Pistols performances. Her style and fashion sense — a platinum-blonde bouffant hairdo with dark raccoon-like eye make-up — made her a highly visible icon of the London punk subculture. In the late 1970s, she briefly dated singer Adam Ant and served as the manager for Ant's band Adam & the Ants. She recorded several tracks as a guest vocalist with the band for BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel's Peel Sessions.
She made a cameo appearance in Derek Jarman's debut film, Sebastiane and played the lead role in his follow-up film Jubilee, as the punk "anti-historian" Amyl Nitrate.
Whilst reading Amyl's self-penned chapter "The History of England", Mad (Toyah Willcox) asks her: "Who are you writing this crap for, Amyl?"
Amyl Nitrate: "Myself, It's a hobby. When I'm not making history, I write it ... I try to compress it. It would be great if all history could be written on a Mandrax"
Jordan now works as a veterinary nurse and breeds Burmese cats.
