What you’re looking at is a vintage photo of one man’s quest to become a literal “Peter Pan.”
I think he nailed it, don’t you?

Photo: Brian Duffy.
Linda Brusasco’s 2010 documentary, Duffy: The Man Who Shot Sixties, is an engaging film that shares with the viewer some of the life story of brilliant, elusive and street-wise photographer Brian Duffy. Along with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, Duffy pioneered a fresh approach to fashion photography that echoed the pop culture of Britain’s Swingin’ Sixties. His iconic shots of Jean Shrimpton, John Lennon, Michael Caine, David Bowie, Twiggy and many more, are familiar to anyone who has paid attention to rock ‘n’ roll and fashion.
The doc features David Bowie, Angela Bowie, Mick Ronson, David Bailey, among others. Mandatory viewing for anyone interested in photography as art and cultural touchstone.
I adore this hand-painted Jabba the Hutt clutch purse with an accompanied attached-by-a-chain Princess Leia coin purse by Cat Penfold. Hilariously brilliant!

Lear photographed by David Bailey for the December 1971 Dali-edited issue of French Vogue.
The glamorous Amanda Lear in her first TV commercial appearance, circa 1967, for Révillon’s Detchema fragrance.
The music is by cult figure French soundtrack composer, François de Roubaix.
I like this. Lip makeup that looks like an eye by Swedish artist Sandra Holmbom.
I wish there was a YouTube tutorial on how to do this. There will be soon, I suppose!

Okay, I have to admit, this is pretty funny and WANT-worthy, right?
May I present to you the Black Lodge hat by Connoisseur:
Well, as we are now in the fifth year of the cult Weir hat our creative juices keep on flowing, this year sees two special editions inspired by two of Hollywood’s great cults. David Lynch’s Twin Peaks is the inspiration behind this one. Based on the extradimensional ‘Red Room’ from the cult TV series and accompanying film Fire Walk With Me.
We’re proud to present the Black Lodge hat.
I think you might have to actually be standing in a room of red curtains for anyone to get it, but I still like it.
You can pre-order the knit cap here for £27.00.

A few weeks ago I posted about the Pee-wee Herman-inspired cycling skinsuit. This week it’s all about channeling your inner Slim Goodbody with the Muscle Skin Suit by, er… Muscle Skin Suit!
Do you want to stand out in the peloton? Accentuate your individuality? Enhance the shape of your muscles?
The suit comes in long sleeves and tights or in a short skin suit. They range anywhere from $174 - $194.
Bonus: There’s also an X-ray skin suit available for purchase on the site.

New York City-based artist E.V. Svetova (aka Katyok on deviantART), designs these oddly-beautiful David Bowie dolls. According to her page, she does “all of the customization and painting, as well as most of the garment design and construction.”
Some of these shots are based on iconic Mick Rock portraits of Bowie. Extra points for the mini Kansai Yamamoto knock-offs!
Unfortunately none of the dolls are for sale. My husband was crushed by this news.
More after the jump…
Aimed at the kids market sure, but I would buy a Queen-sized version of this in a heartbeat.
You can purchase it here for € 59.95.
