When I was a prepubescent nerd, the hard-drinking, sex-positive, postapocalyptic rebel grrrl character Tank Girl was my ultimate style icon. Obviously I could not go to school swinging a baseball bat with x-mark pasties on, but I could dream. Unfortunately, Tank Girl, adapted from a comic created in the late Eighties by British artist Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz), was an absolute box office disgrace. Like many flops, however, it later found its true audience and has become a cult classic. Soundtracked by Courtney Love and production designed by Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, it’s the Nineties feminist anti-fascist extravaganza wrapped up in a steampunk bow that we all need now more than ever. Tank Girl, take me away. – Lina Fisher
