About this item

The women of the iconic eighties band the Go-Gos will always be remembered as they appeared on the back of their debut record sunny, smiling, each soaking in her own private bubble bath with chocolates and champagne. The photo is a perfect tribute to the fun, irreverent brand of pop music that the Go-Gos created, but it also conceals the trials and secret demons that the members of the groupand, in particular, its lead singer, Belinda Carlislestruggled with on their rise to stardom. Leaving her unstable childhood home at the age of eighteen, Belinda battled serious weight issues, having been teased for her pudginess throughout grade school, and grappled with her confusion about being deserted by her biological father as a child. This talented but misguided teen found solace in the punk rock world that so openly welcomed misfitseven though acceptance had its price.
