 In Sleeper, Buffy asks a bouncer at a club if he’s seen Spike. The Bouncer says, “Yeah I know the guy, Billy Idol wannabe.” Billy Idol was a punk with distinctive bleached blonde hair in the 1980s. Buffy mutters something about Billy actually stealing his look from Spike. |

And we actually get to see Spike in his “Billy Idol” clothes in the Season 5 episode ‘Fool for Love’.

Haha I have to agree with that. :-)

Me too, love that punk look he had on the subway in the 70’s!
November 15th, 2005 at 8:49 pm
haha noooo:P’
That was awful!! ^^
But I think Angel and Spike has pretty alike dressing sense.
Maby all vampire dresses in leather jackets and shirts?

I love his punk look.
“Maby all vampire dresses in leather jackets and shirts?”
Well, we know that’s not true. Brad Konig wore an orange sweatshirt.
My favorite line regarding how Vamps dress was in Lie To Me when Angel, Willow, and Xander are at the club and Angel’s all annoyed (particularly at the kid in the cape and stupid blue bowtie) and he says, “they don’t know anything about vampires…how they dress” And then a kid walks by dressed just like Angel.

oh my god, he was…are there words? well, very hot…. but my friends call him that. whenever i talk about spike they’re like “oh, does she mean the billy idol looking one?”
November 15th, 2005 at 11:43 pm
Haha I LOVE that scene with Angel and the kid dressed exactly the same. Hilarious irony — something the show positively excels at.

Love that scene with Angel and the matching vamp-wannabe! It was so great when Angel would try to be all cool and then something funny would happen to show him up.
And regarding vamp style, Buffy has a talk with the Potentials in “Potential”, season 7, explaining they can live anywhere, dress anyway they want. Very cute moment when Spike explains his crypt could have been considered “posh” and Buffy says “comfy, really”…just goes to show Spike had his own originality and style (love him!!!)

The exact quote from the conversation between the bar bouncer and Buffy, when she’s looking for Spike in “Sleeper” is:
BUFFY: “Oh, uh, actually, I need some help. I’m looking for this guy. Bleach-blonde hair, leather jacket, British accent? Kind of sallow, but in a hot way?”
BOUNCER: “Yeah, yeah, I know the guy. Billy Idol wannabe?”
Buffy: “Actually, Billy Idol stole his look from…never mind. Has he been here?”
My second favorite quote of this scene is “Kind of sallow, but in a hot way?”
Such a good one!!!

He was’t wearing the leather jacket was he? This was pre-Get It Done, so he was still wearing his little denim jacket and jeans and random t-shirts, right?

re spikes crypt:
remember tht scene where buffy and spike may or may not have been having a post-shag actual conversation… and he said, ‘i ate a decorator once.’
January 30th, 2006 at 6:19 am
Yeah, I think it was in Dead Things and they were talking about the rugs and Buffy said something about her New Kids On The Block poster.
“I ate a decorator once. Maybe something stuck.”

The Billy Idol look on Spike is SO much hotter on him than it is on Billy Idol himself. If that makes any sense.
I did like that wee exchange between the bouncer and Buffy though, it was amusing!
