Women In The Fifties In Corsets

Labyrinth and comics

time ago, after many years, I saw Labyrinth. As a child I always looked at him, alternating with the classic Disney comedy, and some of Toto.
remember that the furniture of the hall was full of video tapes stacked on one another, some horizontal, some vertical, and those put out in bulk were the films that we looked more at home. I remember there were always some in front of everyone Toto, The Little Mermaid, Ferngully, Pocahontas, Aladdin and Labyrinth.
was only a matter of time, and sooner or later we would run some fanart on Labyrinth ...



I've always loved the magical atmosphere of Labyrinth, outlandish situations, the creatures he met Sarah ... Perhaps some scenes are a bit 'childish, but you want to, I was un'infante too. After all, Labyrinth is half a movie for the family.

older, I began to argue that the other half of the film is for women. The presence of
Bowie did his part. They were all in love with him, all right: my cousin twenties, the neighbor with two children, two years older than her friend, even I, so that once, when the teacher asked the pupils what they wanted Elda do when you grow, I replied that I wanted to become a groupie of David Bowie - I was not absolutely certain of what he meant, my cousin told me more or less what was the work of a groupie ... The passion for
Bowie has persisted over the years without realizing it, until I realized, shortly after reviewing Labyrinth, the hero of my comic is spat at him.
Maybe not exactly spit spit, but there is something about him, like the body a bit 'thin, hollowed cheeks, nose slightly aquiline, his eyes close ...





I feel that this will not be the last post in which I will talk about David Bowie.
