Unless of course you are one of the following people, in which case find your name.
For Nathan: Yes love, I created this partly for you. I'm going to do my part to make you famous and get that show of yours on Broadway; I expect free tickets when it opens. ;)
For David: I love you, and I am so, so sorry. (Except you love the attention, so really I'm not.)
For John Barrowman: Don't even try to pretend like you don't love every minute of it. (Also, Scott, I'm sorry. But not really.)

Right, I think that's all for now. Lovely to see you all here. Enjoy.
Oh, and just one more thing. If YOU'RE here--and you know who you are--I'm not a companion. You're wrong. You aren't the last of the Time Lords. Allons-y!
Elton John has a new baby boy, continuing his quest to have the cutest children in the history of cute. The new baby’s full name is Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John (yes, Daniel after the song, and no word yet on whether the Old Testament drenching in the first three names was intentional or not).
In other news, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John is still the cutest little thing I’ve ever seen in my life, and Elton, your shirt wildly clashes with the obvious blue theme of this picture. Did you just need neon pink sparkles in there somewhere? I’m teasing I love you.

8 Words You Should Avoid When WritingAs always, Orwell’s final rule applies: “Break any of these rules before saying anything barbarous.” There are instances where each of these words fills a valuable role. However, especially among inexperienced writers, these words are frequently molested and almost always gum up the works.
1. “Suddenly”
“Sudden” means quickly and without warning, but using the word “suddenly” both slows down the action and warns your reader. Do you know what’s more effective for creating the sense of the sudden? Just saying what happens.
I pay attention to every motion, every movement, my eyes locked on them.Suddenly,The gun goes off.When using “suddenly,” you communicate through the narrator that the action seemed sudden. By jumping directly into the action, you allow the reader to experience that suddenness first hand. “Suddenly” also suffers from being nondescript, failing to communicate the nature of the action itself; providing no sensory experience or concrete fact to hold on to. Just … suddenly.
Feel free to employ “suddenly” in situations where the suddenness is not apparent in the action itself. For example, in “Suddenly, I don’t hate you anymore,” the “suddenly” substantially changes the way we think about the shift in emotional calibration.
2. “Then”

Ok ok, but. At the risk of being a lil shit -
technically, Aladdin Sane can be Ziggy Stardust. Word of god (aka Bowie himself) described Mr (in)Sane as “Ziggy goes to America”. The album Aladdin Sane was released before he actually killed Ziggy off. The Ziggy Stardust Tour is meshed with “the Aladdin Sane tour”. The latter had a lightning bolt symbol up onstage, while he wore Ziggy’s make-up, and Ziggy’s outfits, but sometimes Sane’s (I only know from looking at photos, mind).Aladdin Sane was a schizophrenic. That’s counted for why there were so many costume changes, because he had so many personalities that each, as far as I was concerned, each costume change was a different facet of personality.
The lightning bolt supposedly represents duality, Sane’s “cracked” mind. Is Ziggy just another facet? Does Sane sing Ziggy’s songs or vice versa?? Who knows, man. Bowie didn’t seem too bothered to make a great distinction between the two… Idk why anyone should need to.
Really, it’s not unlike eye patch Halloween Jack and slinky, suited up, “American” Halloween Jack.

They were such nice boys once upon a time….
young david reminds me of satan
He does have an “I’m charming and nice, but am totally going to fuck your daughter” smile.
David still is charming what do you mean ? he has so much charisma and charm it’s unbelivable.
Young Iggy looks like Ryan Gosling.
The Western cultural revolution that took place between the 1950s and the 1970s can be summed up in this photoset.
