Bowie was cool as hell, but ugly

looks avian

how to make skin thinner?

>>14964710
>ugly
What was ugly about him

>>14964720
those facial aesthetics

>>14964733
He was old in that picture. Thin white duke Bowie had great cheekbones.
>>14964735
He looks good in a normie Chad kind of way, whereas Bowie looks good in a more elegant patrician kind of way.

Bowie was cool af

>>14964761
supremely based

>>14964761
Caught with half a pound of weed in 1976, released. How?

>>14964761
How did he look so insanely cool at the peak of his cocaine addiction in 1976, yet look so bland and average just three years later?

>>14964776
I like his straight forwardness and lack of neuroticism especially while being a junkie

dope fiends usually come across as ugly soles
Bowie didn't strike me that way

>>14964785
*souls

>>14964776
He looks like someone who had some excellent psychotherapy, few demons

>>14964784
He was most interesting in his junkie phase. He became too normie after he cleaned up.

Keep cool
Diamond Dogs rule, ok

>>14964807
THE HALLOWEEN JACK IS A REAL COOL CAT.

he only lived with milk, cigarettes and peppers, skinny af

>tfw David Bowie was an occultist and he might be in hell right now

>>14964862
Were you the guy who made that thread on /mu/? Why are you so upset about it?

>>14964865
He is one of my musical heroes.

If the thin white duke was an Aryan fascist, then why was he interested in Jewish mysticism?

>>14964873
as if the nazis weren't obsessed with all kinds of occultism

>>14964862
fuck off freak.

>>14964761
insane

>>14964770
Crowleyan black magic

>>14964971
But why wouldn't he prefer Germanic paganism if he was an Aryan fascist?

>>14965349
he was a true schizo, don't try to make anything out of it.

>>14964770
Probably agreed to fuck the sheriff's wife...or the sheriff himself

>>14964761
how can someone be this effay

>>14965443
The way he handled the interview afterwards was also very /fa/. He was very calm, polite, and collected.

>>14964720
He got decked in the face as a kid which gave him anisocoria, ie one pupil bigger than the other. I don't think it makes him ugly though, it makes him seem even more otherworldly

>>14964707
Could you build a Thin White Duke inspired wardrobe or something with a similar vibe?

There's something about the simplistic and nearly fascist austerity of his outfits during the Isolar tour. I was thinking dressing slightly up more with trousers, dress shirts, and so on, trying to reach the aesthetic of a regal Duke while also trying to incorporate more militaristic/fascist elements into the wardrobe to keep it casual enough to be worn in public while also giving off the villainous vibe of the Duke.

This is autistic but I've been debating this for a while now.

>>14964710
>>14964750
Honestly I think he looked better when he got older. Young Bowie looked a bit too creepy and alien.

>>14966305
>alien.
That's what was so /fa/ about him.
Old Bowie in contrast looked too average and normie.

>>14964761
He looked like an elf.
Exceptionally /fa/.

What about Berlin era Bowie

>>14964707
He’s overrated and looks like a fag

>>14966642
Most fashionable era for Bowie that can be worn today. I think you can also take some inspo from Isolar 2

>>14968025
On a side note, how do I achieve this mullet as someone with thick, coarse, wavy hair? My hair poofs out more than it grows out.

>>14966642
>>14968025
1974 - 1978 is peak Bowie aesthetics. After 1978 he started looking too old.
He looks great here in the Diamond Dogs era, and the fact that he is acting weird and out of his mind makes him even more effay.

>>14968041
hes cute

>>14964720
Long Face Syndrome. I have the same feature on me. His square Jaw and Hairline are handsome though. But his personality makes that all irrelevant.

>tfw have teeth like Bowie

>>14968027
Coconut oil, lots of it. Look up deep conditioning. And only cut it to a mullet when it's long enough for God's sake

>>14964710

>>14964707
Bad British teeth, so no.

why does he have no philtrum tho

>>14968487
Why did he age so quickly in the early 80s? Late 70s Bowie looked so much younger.

>>14966630
>too average and normie

>>14968899
AIDS

>>14968899
Bowie admitted he had a problem with excessive alcohol, and drug usage well past Berlin. He cut it off entirely sometime after the release of Scary Monsters. However, Bowie continued smoking cigarettes well into the late '90s. That's likely why Bowie suffered from routine, near fatal heart attacks in the early 2000s, before finally dying from liver cancer.

Surprise, surprise; that stuff ages you quick. Take care of your bodies, anons.

>>14969347
I thought he quit drugs when he moved to Berlin.

Quite fascinating 1983 clip with a sanctimonious, virtue signaling, power tripping David Bowie being put into his place by a soft-spoken Mark Goodman. I highly recommend watching while stoned to catch on the subtleties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZGiVzIr8Qg

>>14969491
>to catch on the subtleties
or to amplify them

That was when Bowie sold out. 70s Bowie never acted like that.

>>14968041
Fairly certain he was coked out in this particular interview, which would explain things

>>14969341
Absolute Worst era both in sound and vision

>>14969636
Drum and bass era Bowie was based.

>>14968041
>>14969609
Did Bowie wear makeup and eye shadow? His skin always looked so perfect.

>>14969499
>Suggesting black artists should have a higher profile in a time when few would say so
>Having a calm conversation open to other perspectives
>virtue signalling
fucking /pol/tards who saw one photo of Bowie Nazi saluting off the back of a black Benz

>>14968201
Bowie's jaw was pretty good but it wasn't really square. Ralf Hütter from Kraftwerk had a square jaw.

>>14969714
Depends on the year. There is definitely some makeup during most of the 70s, especially in concerts.

>>14968761

No, not at all. How is Bowie selling out? Bowie supported, if not propelled plenty of African-American artists from across the United States during '74-'76. He dated Ava Cherry for some time, ended up marrying, and having a child with Iman. On top of that, Bowie idolized the early African-American rock singers.

He's forever been that way. No, Bowie wasn't a National-Socialist, either. A still photo of him mid-waving to fans is not a salute, nor does an album persona make him one. Is an actor an avid National-Socialist for portraying Adolf Hitler in cinema?

>>14964707
For me, it’s David Sylvian

>>14969510
Bowie has always been liberal. It's pretty evident throughout his entire life. He sold out musically but it sure didn't mean he did so politically

>>14964761
Based as fuck

>>14964761
>>14964873
>>14972820

this hair is unachievable for any lesser men

>>14971901
based, his work with Sakamoto is great

>>14964761
4chan is full of edgy people who think contrarian opinions are cool, but this was the best era of him imo
