OH! YOU PRETTY THINGS: DAVID BOWIE PAPER DOLLS

David Bowie Paper Dolls Mel Elliot Ziggy Paperboy Aladdin Sane_19

i never played with dolls as a kid. but, times change, darlings. times change.

a few weeks ago, i stumbled across mel elliot's ziggy paperboy wonder book at book soup on sunset blvd. the book contains two david bowie paper dolls and 16 fabulous outfits ranging from freddie burretti's mustard yellow and ice-blue suits to kansai yamamoto's 'wonderland creature' leather leotard and 'tokyo pop' vinyl bodysuit.

my fantasy to be bowie's stylist has finally come true! all i needed was an x-acto knife to cut out the pieces, my bowie playlist, and a whole lotta dreaming.

damn, i miss him.

David Bowie Forever Aladdin Sane

david bowie. my hero in all things fantastic. the reason why I love glitter and lighting bolts. the reason I love music. you should have lived forever, starman. on the evening of his death, i was up crying and listening to his albums until 4:00 a.m. like a teenage girl, which makes sense because that's how old i was when I fell in love with him.

Happy 2016
