Kim and Enid teamed up with punker Toyah Willcox under the name 'She Devils' for a gig for a Women's In Music festival in London (at Shaw Theatre, December 8, 1990). A year later they toured under the name 'Strangegirls' in July and August 91', and a second time in May 92'. They wrote some material together (which unfortunatly wasn't recorded) and did many live shows playing Girlschool and Toyah classics. They did a session for GLR (Greater London Radio) and performed two songs they had written together entitled 'Woman I Am' and 'My Life Has Just Begun', and Toyah recorded a song that they performed live called 'Lust For Love', which was included in one of her solo albums. They have not done anything together since...
