#the thin white duke

[objectiveunknown]

Today I learned some new context for this…

I.e the tweet where Micheal sheen described David Tennant/Crowley as “The thin dark duke” so uh.

The thin white duke was an infamous David Bowie look.

Ta da!

Craving Kisses - David Bowie

You are David Bowie’s makeup artist, and he has a new makeup idea he’d like you to try for tonight’s show…

“Do send her in, I’m ready for her now.”, David told his personal assistant. She left the room after his request, and promptly fetched you, David’s makeup artist for the tour. As you entered, you were greeted with a pensive smile from Mr. Bowie. You made your way over to the makeup chair where he already sat, ready for you to pretty him up.

“I was wondering if we could try a slightly different look for tonight’s show. And by slightly, I mean completely different.”, David asked you, cheekily delivered and all.

Being the adaptive professional you are, you swiftly agreed, “Absolutely, David. What did you have in mind?”

David did not initially answer you with words, but instead with an action. He reached out for a bright red lipstick residing on the countertop, and applied it to his lips. He then stood up, getting close enough to the vanity mirror, then beginning to pepper said mirror in perfectly placed lipstick kisses.

You watched, confused. And then his words came:

“The mirror is my face. My lips are your lips.”

You froze. It was hard enough to touch his face with just your brushes, or worse, hands on a normal day. To pepper his face with kisses from your lips and remain normal about it? It seemed impossible.

As if sensing your nervousness, which to be clear was quite obvious, he spoke again.

“It’s just me, it’s just art. Nothing to be afraid of, darling. I don’t bite- unless you want me to.”, he playfully added. He knew your response would be that of a flustered one. And flustered you were.

Unsure what to even say back to him, you slowly grabbed the lipstick from his hand, and started applying it on yourself. He cheered as you did such, and smugly awaited your touch.

“Where would you like me to start, David?”, you shyly asked him.

“Here love, I’ll just point and you just pucker, okay?”, he replied and you nodded profusely. Probably a little too profusely.

The first kiss was on his forehead.

His long, pale, finger pointed to the center of his forehead, lightly tapping there until you made contact. You cautiously started to lean closer to him, your eyes fixed on his, his eyes fixed on your lips, your lips ready to pucker, his lips resting in a smirk. You could hear him whispering “Any day now, sweetheart”, and just as he did so, you found your lips crashing into his face, a soft murmur you could have sworn was a moan escaping his lips as you did so. As you pulled back, you were certain your face was red as a tomato. Yes it was “just art”, but it was so intimate, so personal, your lip print adorning his face. He looked beautiful with just the single kiss on his face, but he wanted more. And he made sure you knew he wanted more, by tapping his left cheekbone next.

It wasn’t confidence, instead more of an experience thing (now having done this once before) that lead this cheekbone kiss to happen much quicker than the last. You let this one linger a little longer, and David surely noticed as he chuckled slightly as you pulled away again.

You slowly started to gain a rhythm. Tap. Kiss. Tap. Kiss. Re-apply lipstick. Tap. Kiss. The more you kissed him, the more you found yourself getting comfortable around him. It seems he too could sense this, so he started pointing to face-adjacent locations for you to decorate. He started with his jaw, his ears, then his neck, to almost his chest. By now, he had thought it clear that his intentions were lustful. But yet again being the professional you are, you still managed to convince yourself that this was just another makeup gig. Just another pay check. You were about to be proved wrong.

He pointed once again to his chin, which slightly perplexed you, seeing as you had already kissed him in that spot. Not wanting to lose momentum though, you leaned in without question. As your lips approached landing, David’s head suddenly jolted down, ensuring that your lips met his lips, instead of meeting his chin. He smiled into the kiss, and although it startled you, your increasing desperation and hunger for him allowed you to get lost in it all. Neither of you pulled away for a while, instead you began bringing yourselves closer to one another, him grasping your face, and you weaving your fingers through his hair. When you did finally pull away from each other, there were no words from either one of you. Intense eye contact and heavy breathing told the both of you everything you needed to know.

He came close to you once again, and whispered in your ear: “after the show.”

I think growing up listening to David Bowie (and basically worshipping him) makes not giving a fuck about gender/gender roles/gender aesthetic norms etc. a lot easier

#the man’s everything he wanted to be #and never ever gave a fuck abt it #imagine being that free within yourself #not to be scared abt challenging your own identity #david bowie #ziggy stardust #the thin white duke #halloween jack #gender #gender roles #lgbtqiia+ #queer #androgyny #bowieposting #mailmiocuoredipietratremaancora

david bowie said that his music is very chaotic and experimental and all over the place and eccletic bc the human brain can think a huge number of images per second and it's all about chaos and he wanted to translate this amazing capacity for chaos that our brain has into music

- so he basically gave us music for bi adhd people

Imo this is one of his best songs. It’s so sophisticated, I just love it so much.

Let's pretend that I am not obsessed with the Thin White Duke decadence. Yeah, I know, this alter-ego is more than controversial, but let’s be honest – this is pure art.

Jan. 8th - David Bowie's Birthday!!!!!

Today is a very, very special day for all of us space, classic, glam rock or simply Bowie lovers - it's David Bowie's birthday!!!!!!!

Our beloved Starman is turning 77 today, somewhere around Mars or enjoying a trip through other planets and galaxies that exist out there to celebrate it.

Born David Robert Jones, january 8, 1947, Bowie became an ultimate legend back in the early 70s, introducing wonderful (and quite shocking, for those decades) looks and characters of his to the world. Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust and his Spiders from Mars, Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke, the Blind Prophet and many others are remembered lovingly since the day they appeared, not to mention the many movies and cartoons he was a part of.

He is an major inspiration for people, be it for his bold and sweet personality, for his androgynous image or for what he means to each of us. Without even knowing, he helped many of these getting out of the blue, being an ax to break the ice or giving courage to say something to someone, maybe.

Happy birthday, Bowie. You were the best alien to ever exist. 💫 ❤️.
