Deep in Glamour?

I found this twelve inch the other day and I had a hankering for the video


Malcolm McLaren was always in sync with the times. This was from the late 80's and it inspired Madonna. He was also responsible for incorporating classical elements into pop music.
He was like the Andy Warhol of music.

His influence on music started with the Sex Pistols,
Then he gave us Adam and the Ants and BowWowWow.


He was on the cutting edge of urban trends with Buffalo Girls influence by the then new phenomena of Hip hop, break-dance, and double dutch jump rop with the World Famous Supreme Team Show.

Malcolm McLaren then ventured into classical music with a pop interpretation. I used the music of Pucinni and Bizet set to an alternative dance beat.

He also produced Opera House was the official them for British Airways add campaign from the early 90s. It later inspired Ralphi Rosario La Aria Latina on his 45 Miles of Nerves Cd.
Malcolm McLaren followed that up with a project called Paris with an appearance by Catherine Deneuve. Paris has a classic jazz inspiration

Enjoy

Such a Groovy Chick

I did Beau Hunks
Now for some Groovy Chicks
I am sooooooooooo diggin this chick
I just rediscovered her and her solo stuff is a





I've dug her band Shakespeare's Sister.


The first time I saw a Shakespeare's Sister video was "Your History" at The Revolver in WeHo


I especially loved her in Bananarama. She was my favorite.
She gave a certain "i don't know" to the trio.
She's only shot from the head up in the I Can't Help It video
(my favorite Bananarama song BTW).
She was carrying Dave Stewart's (The guy from the Eurythmics) baby.
She's the devil chick in Venus.

The Beloved - Memba them?

Being a DJ I own waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much vinyl. So I'm transfering some of my faves to MP3. I came across this one

Here's the video



Then there's this one from 96




I was a The Beloved freak through the 90s and tried to get as much of their music as I could.
Look forward to Your Love Takes Me Higher.

What A Beau Hunk!

You ever see one of those guys who have it all.
Looks (80's gay porn star)
Body
Wicked Sense of Humor
Talent
And Intelligence that you just can't stand it














He plays Capt. Jack on BBC's Torchwood. He is a star on the West End Stage (the theatre district in London)
BTW He's been in a relationship for 16 years and will be celebrating their first anniversary as a legally married couple this week. (married in London)


Of course his partner is gorgeous, smart, and talented.





Some people have all the luck. (Both of them)



Here's his latest video


Here's his wicked sense of humor


And this is what got me hooked on him a few years ago. I thought my gaydar was broke when I saw it pinged like crazy but he didn't strike me as gay. I was kinda of hopin
Oh and he was born 3 weeks before me. (He was born in Scotland)


As I watch it now, he is a very very white gay boy

It's just not fair

If there are any clones, send them my way.
