Girdle your loins, 1996 saw the United Kingdom blaze a trail with the Gina G entry, Oooh ahh, just a little bit. Gina may not have won Eurovision but she can take comfort that her song was a world wide hit even getting a Grammy nomination in the states. Did you know her dress was designed by Paco Rabanne and was originally meant for Cher? Cher declined, Gina took the scissors to the hemline and the rest as they say is history. The 90’s had arrived at Eurovision.
