VICTORIA MARY CLARKE: Love is a scary thing. You're bound to lose them one day if you love them. The more you love them, the less you will miss them. It's been so difficult to love that many of us will not take the risk. When I first met Shane MacGowan, I wasn't looking for love. It was the furthest thing from my mind. It was 1982, I was 16, and if I worshipped anything, it was fashion and music. I had opened a vintage clothing store in Cork, Ireland, and I was earning a living off importing cool clothes from London's Portobello Road and Brick Lane to sell there. I was a New Romantic aspiring to live in a world of lace gloves, cigarette holders, and cocktails in trendy nightclubs.
