On David Bowie’s Makeup Table

Bananas, on David Bowie’s makeup table backstage.

Labyrinth was how I first became enamored with the man. The myth. The legend.

“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring. I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, ‘Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman. I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.'”

— David Bowie

Rest in peace, David Bowie.
