n is for nick rhodes, seriously


so, after you read the entry below, you'll realize why i had to dig-up-and-post a cool, flattering, pretty shot of the genius that IS mr. nick rhodes. this shot was taken in 1987, in the very cool 'notorious' era. hey, how cool was that song 'meet el presidente?' hey, i might have to post that one if i can find a good version. i think he looks great here. i mean, the fringed sleeves are quite 'dated,' but i can't bag on it too hard; i owned-and-wore a red suede fringed jacket around that time. but even with the over-posing and the jacket and the white-bleached bangs, he still comes off looking very cool. and facially in this shot, i can see why i was in love with him then, and now. and he's got a great sense of humor. have you ever looked up a video called 'nick's stolen moments' on youtube? its basically a home video nick took of himself over like, a week of being nick rhodes. he comes off very playful and bright. i hope its still 'up,' you know, if you wanna take a look at it. ahhh, my sweet nick rhodes... sigh.
