...tons of 80's makeup and hairspray...

 

That was very much a Josephine's thing. I remember walking into a solid wall of haispray haze when opening the door to the ladies. You'd come out lacquered from head to toe. That never happened at Isabella's or Cairo Jax ...

As a punk/heavy metal fan I only very rarely went to Josephines usually when a mate was having a stag do in the early 80's.Shirt and tie (ahhrgh!).

God I absolutely hated the effing place,total sh#thole,crap music too.

Definitely the poshest place in town. Josie's is still the only place I have ever been in which had urine splash guards in the gents (so you didn't urinate on your shoes).

I have a cherished souvenir from my clubbing days in the early eighties, a Josephines cocktail stirrer. Bet you're dead jealous.
