Epigraph

Q: Please tell me...What's the secret for retaining your sexy look? I mean, it's almost been a decade and you guys still look the same. - Melba, Cape Town/South Africa

Mags: Surely we look better? All that surgery cannot have been in vain.

Morten is the star but Mags, oh, please take on me. Pal wears eyeliner.
Pal, I hear you're the quiet one. Maybe eyeliner's not the choice for you. Pal, you look much like a ballet dancer. Even in living daylight.
Someone told Morten his bod is something special. Quit showing your butt! Morten, what is with your butt? Showing where the sun don't shine on TV?
Hey Madonna, call the cops! Morten Harket stole your rubber bracelets
Harem pants fashion? Or does Morten require extra-long inseam?
Hunting high and low for a teen idol that's as dreamy as my Mags. Mags, I can't say your last name, but I'll take it as my own, if you ask.
Mags, are you spending your scoundrel days on the road? I'll be your roadie. Mags, I know you from posters. Wait, what instrument is it that you play?
Push Morten off! I'll wrap my arms around your waist, Mags, and we can ride!
Here's Ms. Molly in her old Harlem bathroom with Morten in the tub! You would think that she would match her skivvies when she's got that company! How disturbing to see Molly cheating on Mags With his friend Morten
