He obviously didnt think any of his customers would be reading such a paper - he wasnt too complementary about the folk who went in the shop!

jaycee49 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi. Does anyone remember lift up your skirts and fly boutique. It was about whether the Nero cafe is opposite peace gardens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Or Sexy Rexy's, that was'nt far away.Sexy Rexy's was in the same place (41 Cambridge Street) at one time. Maybe they moved in when Pippy's moved out or vice-versa. The 1973 directory shows "Pippys Boutique" at No 41 Cambridge Street, with "Paul Rex, boutique" (i.e. Sexy Rexy) nearby at the corner of Pinstone Street..

jstarr Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi. Does anyone remember lift up your skirts and fly boutique. It was about whether the Nero cafe is opposite peace gardens I remember it well!It was owned by Roger Howe,who was a friend of Pete Stringfellow & stocked wonderful Ossie Clarke clothes.I went out with Roger a couple of times,he was agreat dancer (and I got discount!)The shop's name came from a record called "Desdemona" by a group called John's Children.
