Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) MrStonky has not read the post correctly - it is not said that Rigby originated the phrase, merely that she popularised it. I will try to find some references to add. 13:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC) |

[edit] De-stubbed
This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.
By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability and making them seem less credible. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubbified.
If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 06:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Charlotte Rigby
This popularity of this item of clothing have been traced to the eminent social commentator Charlotte Rigby, who is believed to have brought it into mainstream popular culture during her time at the University of Warwick in the mid 90's.
This is undoubtedly vandalism that has remained unchallenged for too long.
- It was posted anonymously (on 12 March 2007).
- There is no citation for the statement.
- A quick Google for Charlotte Rigby (with associated terms) does not yield the results that would be expected for an "eminent" social commentator.
- Given the frequency with which unitards appear in footage of early 1980s discos (and pop music videos of the time), the statement is unlikely to be true.
Charlotte has now been removed from the article. Mrstonky 07:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
