Possibly born on this day 85 years ago (18 November 1939): fashion model turned Salvador Dali muse turned Roxy Music album cover girl (For Your Pleasure (1973)) turned Dietrich-voiced disco chanteuse turned TV presenter turned Playboy centrefold turned perennial gay icon and byword for Continental hedonism and glamour - Amanda Lear! Or was she? Some sources list her birth date as 18 June. (See also: Charo, who has multiple potential birthdays). And Lear’s birth year has variously been reported as 1941, 1946 and 1950. (Unsurprisingly, Lear herself prefers the latter). Look, Lear is an international woman of mystery whose precise origins, real name and even gender at birth are shrouded in secrecy (she’s widely assumed to be transgender). Would we want her any other way? I’ve seen Lear perform just once when she did a personal appearance at The Fridge nightclub in Brixton in the early nineties. I remember her throatily warbling a hi-NRG disco interpretation of the standard “Lili Marlene” in her foghorn voice, flanked by baby-oiled bodybuilders in posing pouches. Probably the campiest thing I’d seen up until I saw Ann-Margret’s nightclub revue at The Stardust Casino in Las Vegas in 2005. Anyway, Lear (who’s romantic partners have numbered Brian Jones, David Bowie, and Bryan Ferry) was reportedly the inspiration for the character of Patsy Stone on Absolutely Fabulous and her sleek 1978 disco single “Follow Me” soundtracked the recent Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume campaign. (The song still slaps hard). Pictured: portrait of Lear by Pierre et Gilles, 1979.

FLOWERBOYS

A single prompt produced so many beautiful boys in the same style through a variety of zooms, remixes, and creative upscales ("Kaden Carson in the style of Pierre et Gilles"... though they don't look much like Kaden Carson, they definitely look like the work of Pierre et Gilles)
