roxy doll

ummm, okay... where do i start? when one thinks of the glam-rock heroes of the 1970's, perhaps no band was more glam than bryan ferry and roxy music. which leads me to the question: what the hell is bryan doing posing in this low-down, tacky, and very non-glam residential room? i mean, it's almost scary. dig that rinky-dink shower curtain. dig that sink behind him with naked pipes. the drapes on the window don't match anything. and it looks dark outside. what is he holding? a miniature version of himself? that doesn't cancel out the bleakness of that lighting fixture. and the ceiling is like, what? the whole damn thing is hilarious.

ferry frame

okay, i admit i don't really have a whole lot to say about this screen shot... except that i took it from a very groovy roxy music dvd i got from my partner some time ago. i'm just in the mood to post, so i guess anything goes. its weird, when i watch bryan ferry... i mean, he's incredible, and very 'lovely-to-me-in-the-face,' but... jean-lucien knows as well as i do that certain parts of his face bear an uncanny, even scary resemblance to a certain 'man-in-my-past.' i try not to think about that, about him, when i watch mr. ferry do his very fabulous thing. sometimes i'm able to turn it into a bizarro form of revenge. like, i watch bryan ferry, and enjoy his hot looks, knowing i would NEVER now entertain the other guy's looks, despite the similarities. like, the other guy can only wish he was as cool and flash and talented and sexy as bryan ferry. so yeah, i took this shot a long time ago from a 'deev,' and i think the tricking turned out alright. i think he was wailing out the marvelous 'roxy' song, 'do the strand' on some kind of tv program. man, he IS super-cool.

hey, i'm not certain what year it was, and i'm not sure what show they were on... but i do know i love the hard, dreamy, candyfeathered sound... ohhh yes. let bryan 'take you there.'

glam mouth

here's a shot i snapped from the wonderful and very worth-the-price roxy music dvd jean-lucien was kind enough to give me a couple of months ago. i've taken dozens of shots of bryan ferry, but whilst i was tricking this shot, (taken during a tv performance of 'ladytron' ) i found myself struck with the curious way his mouth turned up on one side and down on the other. i thought it communicated better in black and white, so i drained all the color out of it, and did some artful cropping to somewhat hide the overgrown lines in his hair. i never really thought he was that good-looking growing up, and though i find him very lovely now, the verdict is still out on the 'raw sexiness' question. like, sometimes he turns me on, sometimes he doesn't. but i still think its a pretty successful shot. and i love the song, too.

ferry dust

this is a smallish one, but i love it. i wanted something punch-colored to go in this slot, so i chose this wild, hot shot of mr. bryan ferry. jean-lucien sent me this screen capture a long time ago. i can't remember exactly where its from, and i can't glean enough information from the image to place it, like as to what year it was. i can tell its probably sometime during the roxy music days. even in this small frame, in his eyes, you can see the wild dedication to his art. whether manufacturing hard, loud, jagged glam rock, or the calmer, more serene stuff from his later days, i've never questioned bryan ferry's sincerity. he believes in what he's doing, and he always does his best. he works damn hard. and we all reap the rewards of it.

can i get an amen? roxy music : psalm

church, indeed.

amen

mr. bryan ferry reminds us who is in charge.
amen.
