Huh. I never thought I’d cheer on barbie. But damned if they aren’t sending a big ol’ fuck off to the christo-facists. First a transgender Barbie honoring a great woman and now a Barbie celebrating a person who really pushed gender norms, complete with glam-rock makeup.

Probably still my favorite Bowie LP, even without the hit “Changes” the whole thing is solid.

Of course, the video was shot in ‘73, so not really contemporaneous with the Hunky Dory album.

Ah! Yeah I’d forgotten about that. And for that matter, IIRC the “Space Oddity” video was Ziggy-era.

Yes and no. There was a video from ‘69 as well as later versions.

The irises are the same colour, and the pupils are the same size. Pls fix.
