It Was a David Bowie Kind of Day

“Dude, the DP for Labryinth totally had a thing for Bowie’s junk”, I said.

Jennine didn’t even think twice before putting the giant, knee-high sock in the crotch of her overalls. I might have fallen in love Jennine at that moment.


Emily didn’t seem too happy about pretending to be the heroin-crazed, Nazi-loving, hallowed-out cheek David Bowie.
Thomas Newton doesn’t have anything on you.

“I’ve never seen a crotch do what yours is doing right now”, Emily said.
She was giving my crotch way too much credit.

    The Labryinth used to be one of my favorites! Great photos.

    I think you might be my new favourite person. I love Bowie so much. I've never dressed as him though. But I have tried to dress like Sarah from the Labyrinth. ANd I wanted to marry David Bowie so much when I was 4. That's pretty weird and wrong isn't it.

    Angie- "slap that baby make him free!"

    Chelsea- thanks for the compliment. we're always taking fun photos on sundays down on congress.

    Adgirl- that is not wrong at all. Bowie has the ability to seduce men, women, children, and dogs. now, if you were attracted to thomas newton from the man who fell to earth, i'd be a little concerned. 😉

    You did a mighty find job of finding matching photographs! I was worried about my pose with those suspenders, but it's pretty close to the hat grab!

    This post is amazing and my part of my inspiration for my Halloween costume. Did you ever watch the Flight of the Conchords episode where Bret keeps dreaming about Bowie giving him advice and then in the end they sing about Bowie in Space? Hahah, fricken priceless.

    Except Bowie was never a heroin addict. It was cocaine. Otherwise, nice little story.
