Freak out, far out, in out a.k.a. He'll be a rock n' rolling bitch for you

Today is the day that David Bowie turns a very respectable 62.

David Bowie has been a mime, a mod, a glam rock alien, androgynous, manly, an actor, a soul singer, a drug addict, an 80's pop star, a children's movie actor and is now married to a beautiful model. He inspired the likes of Johnny Rotten (below) and designer Keanan Duffty



Here's a Labyrinth polyvore from my old blog.


Ah, Labyrinth. To some of us, it’s more than just an 80’s kid movie. Besides the obvious appeal of muppets and dancing David Bowie, it’s also a treasure trove of costume and outfit ideas. Click below to see outfit.

Dance Magic Dance


Apparently me and Johnny are not the only ones who wants to dress like David Bowie, so in 1974 Rock Scene Magazine ran a DIY leotard section.
