"There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he..."
Nature boy by Nat King Cole
I didn't grow up listening to David Bowie (b.8 January 1947 – d.10 January 2016)... I only heard a few songs on the radio. I am therefore not a connoisseur of Bowie's music.
But I
admired a lot to see how this man changed his look in a chameleon way,
changed his persona and how he became an icon admired and followed by
millions. A megastar!
After seeing the film Velvet Goldmine by Todd Haynes, which was inspired by Bowie's universe, my curiosity for him increased. It was during the research I was doing to find his looks that I saw that not even the world of paper dolls was indifferent to him. There are loads of Bowie-inspired paper dolls.
I share here some that I found.

Eu não cresci a ouvir David Bowie... ouvia apenas algumas músicas na rádio . Não sou por isso um conhecedor da música de Bowie. Mas admiro muito ao ver como este homem mudava de visual de forma camaleónica,
mudava de personna e como se tornou um ícone admirado e
seguido por milhões. Uma megastar!Depois de ver o filme Velvet Goldmine de Todd Haynes que se inspirava no universo de Bowie a minha curiosidade por ele aumentou. Foi durante as pesquisas que fazia para encontrar os visuais dele que vi que nem o mundo das paper dolls lhe ficou indiferente. Há imensos paper dolls com inspiração em Bowie.Partilho aqui algumas que fui encontrando.Até à proxima!
