Some more VHS quality imagery

Continuing the nostalgic wave, here is what YouTube claims to be Madonna's first performance. Whether it's true or not, it is quite cool. I'm not sure what i like best: the set, the choreography or the supporting gays. Actually, I am sure: the gays. Especially the tall one.



It also reminds me a little bit of this:



Leigh Bowery in d'Offay Gallery, 1988

This is one of Bowery's projects I didn't know before seeing this documentary about the gorgeous genius, made by his friend and collaborator Charles Atlas. He spent a week in the Anthony d'Offay gallery space, locked up behind a two-way mirror and dressed in some of his magnificant, iconic looks. The result is something like Marina Abramovic meets Grace Jones on the set of a Jodorowski film.
