YOU REMIND ME OF THE BABE

Outside of Chewbacca (I love a man who is forever loyal and wears a sashay of bullets that he never uses but has just in case, sort of a non-violence violence), David Bowie was my first crush. I don't remember hold old I was when I watched the Labyrinth, it was definitely a few plus years after it come out, but whenever it was I remember thinking, and thinking hard, something wonderful is behind those Lycra pants.

Chewbacca. Some girls liked KNOTB, I was in love with a wookie. But it was like a best friend love. 

           The striped pants and witty repartee were enticing, but look at those Wookie lips!

But then came David Bowie "How you turned my world you precious thing" in Labyrinth. I could not for the life of me figure out why Jennifer Connelly wanted to go back to the real world for a seemingly unappreciative child instead of hanging with codpiece of my dreams. The first time I watched that movie I felt like I wanted to pee, or at least that was the only way I could understand the warm feeling in my pants.

David Bowie's voice, incredible outfits and hair from outer space set my girl crush ablaze; I wonder what that says about me. It was the first time I remember thinking (a thought that soon became a pattern in my life): He's so arrogant, I like it. 

                                          Balls all over this movie

David Bowie was the first male who became the object of my admiration. My second, Spock. I find logic incredibly romantic. My mother had the book "Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care" - I just knew she was raising me to be a Vulcan. I was devastated when I found out otherwise. I hope there is still time.
