babe with a power!
i got an email from my boss today with the subject heading: "my next new toy". this photo of the jareth figure from neca was attached.
you could say i've waited twenty years for this.
i don't remember this cape from the movie, pero di bale na -- the pointy, flipped-up leather collar (which i do clearly recall) and the distinctive 'do is more than enough to inspire all-consuming lust.
now if they came out with a figure of david bowie as he appears in his final scene in labyrinth, i would not stop going ape freaking sh*t until i had it in my hands. that flowing cape with the owl feathers and distressed floaty hems. that deep v-necked puffy shirt. those white tights. aaaggggh.
"just fear me, love me, do as i say, and i will be your slave."
oh YEAH.
I think there's a whole generation of little girls who grew up lusting for David Bowie because of Labyrinth (myself included). As a kid I kept on thinking, "And she wants to escape because...?"
