Had the delight yesterday evening of heading down to the V&A's "David Bowie is" exhibition and it was really really great. Lots more then just his costumes & stage wear, the collection featured some amazing artefacts (most enjoyable: handwritten lyrics for "Win"! And "Young Americans"! The glass bauble from Labyrinth! Most chillest: coke spoon, used tissue with Bowie lipstick smudges).
Though photography was not allowed in the exhibit (massive anachronism), we snuck away with a pic of Dave himself's portrait of Iggy Pop from their Berlin days:

| Judging by this masterful photography, maybe the 'no photos' rule is a good idea. |
Not bad! Massive disappointment though that amongst the collection, his blue suit from Live Aid was stuck up on a stupidly high platform making it impossible to see, but still, the whole show is very worth going to have a look at.
A similarly fabulous & talented entertainer is our director, Jan Kwiecinski. His latest spot for Thompson Punke is as good as anything Bowie has done, and that includes having his picture taken with Paul McCartney in said blue suit:
Jan's favourite Bowie track is 'Life on Mars?', which you can enjoy below.
