6: Rock n roll Bowie-suits from outer space

There's a brand new dance
but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes 
do again and again
It's big and it's bland 
full of tension and fear
They do it over there 
but we don't do it here

FASHION! Turn to the left

FASHION! Turn to the right

oooooh.....

A couple of weeks ago on Bowie's birthday Candy Richens and I both happened to be googling his face (because he's awesome and cute and always google worthy). We'd been planning to do some sort of music/fashion-y collaboration, and as we were scrolling we found heaps of photos of Bowie in insane jumpsuits like these ones:

(AAW! That one was my favourite)

And we thought, hey, why don't we make up our own Bowie-inspired jumpsuits??

So we each started designing our own. Here's mine:

And Candy's:

Candy found some material, I found some clothes I'd bought that were too big for me, and we pinned them to ourselves then proceeded to cut 'em up, kind of just making it up as we went along:

Then we met up to bring it all together, doing some rough hand sewing, a bit of machine sewing, and adding trillions of safety pins and listening to this awesome garage/punk band from Newcastle (but they're abandoning all the Aussies and moving to the USA in March!) called Gooch Palms:

Here's them looking super classy:

And here's me and Candy looking almost as Classy in our new Bowie-suits:

Even classier phone-photoshop-ing:

And then later on WHEN BOWIE DROPPED IN (WOAH):

(Obviously this last one wasn't photoshopped)

He told me:

Let the children lose it,

Let the children use it,

Let all the children Boogie.
