The Mod twins, Chuka and Dubem, aka The Islington Twins, were a fixture around the streets of Islington. They always dressed in identical high style and would hang out at the entrance to the Highbury and Islington tube station entertaining travelers with the latest ska and reggae music from their boom box. They also danced onstage with Madness. This photo was published in the first issue of The Face Magazine and they became London style icons.

Robin, looking at Batgirl: "You know something, Batman?"

Robin: "She looks very pretty."

first oncoming thrust of manhood, old chum."

Catwoman: "Let noone say that Catwoman is not the best-dressed woman in the world." 
Batman: "There are no fashion shows where you're going, Catwoman." 
Robin: "And how could a feline feloness like you also be a fashion model?" 
Batman: "Ah-ah. Give credit where credit is due, Robin. She may be evil, but she is attractive. You'll know more about that in a couple of years."
