Do you remember Phil?  He was the lead singer of “Thin Lizzy”, an Irish band, whose biggest chart topper was “The Boys are Back in Town”.

There is a statue of Phil outside Bruxelles pub on Harry Street, just off Grafton Street.

What I remember best about Phil was he looked amazing in black leather pants!  This is not a look easily pulled off; typically, you need a long, thin, sexy leg for it to work well.

In my opinion, the best leather pants wearers have been (not in forced order):

• Phil Lynott
• Lenny Kravitz
• Adam Ant
• Mel Gibson in the “Mad Max” movies
• Michael Hutchens of INXS

I will entertain adding some other names if I get any comments.

In a future post I may add a list of the best kilt and gladiator costume wearers 🙂
