So I watched (part of) "The Hunger" last night thanks to Netflix instant queue on my xbox. My interest was mostly piqued because Bauhaus is in the opening sequence. Well it was mainly just Peter - I don't think you saw even a hint of anyone else - but I digress. Other appealing facts about this film were that it was a vampire story and David Bowie was in it. So it was getting instant street cred right there. One word about Mr. Bowie in this film. Gorgeous. Until he gets old. But I digress again.
Considering my penchant for skinny, pale and usually British rock stars, you think he would have always been on my list from day one. But oddly enough, he never really was. During Ziggy Stardust times, when perhaps people seem to know him best from, he was too skinny, even for me. I always considered him one of those guys who got better looking as he aged, but I still never paid much attention. But ummmmm. Thin White Duke period? Fuck. Yes. Seeing him in the movie last night made me tingle. Looking at photos today and it's the same. I mean can it get much better? His hair was perfect. Alabaster skin. Angular face. Thin. Dressed like a fucking killer. So to answer the question, no, it cannot. Funnily enough, I contend that this may be the only period of his where I find him especially attractive (though I may prove myself wrong here). That's good enough for me. So what if he was practically turned into a cloud of powder due to all the coke he was doing? It all adds to the allure. And his mismatched eyes help to add a certain je nais se quoi. Overall - it's a win.
Let's just do it and then I can die in peace. God damn.
Best mugshot in the history of crime? Gives Jack White's a serious run for the money.
What a smile.
Gettin' all vampire on us.
And just for the lulz.
I suppose I should do some work now.
