Oh, Amanda...!!!
Apparently, Amanda Lear has been an icon for YEARS (rumor has it she was born in the 1940s! and that's just ONE of the rumors!) and got to know EVERYBODY who was ANYBODY. Also, she’s one of the OG Dolls!
Dalí? Check.
Rabanne? Check.
Warhol? Check.
Faithfull? Check.
Bowie? Check.
Gaultier? Check.
Wintour? Check.
I went down a rabbit hole after YouTube offered me this tasty morsel. Et voilà. She's FABULOUS.
XOXO
P.S. And this is the artist @SashaVelour was lip syncing to in a previous post, btw. You’ve got taste, Deb’s..

ReplyDeleteOh, my.... Talk about old school. But the...um...singing(?) ... uh.... Finally realized it: "Rocky Horror Picture Show" vibes. LOL.
XOXO
Yes!
DeleteExactly! And I think of her as a chanteuse. It's all about the mood...
XOXO
Oh my God boy, Amanda Lear has been one of the Casa du Borghese's patron saints for years!!!! I have long adored her. And her music. I've featured some tunes over the years. Another one of the rumors was is she trans? Compared to other Muses out of the time, she's kept her private life extremely guarded as to the trans rumors and age and birth date. But it really gives a shit the woman's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteShe's absolutely fantastic.
DeleteI'm mesmerized. For real. Apparently she's kept the 'mystique' for DECADES! I think she's one of the Dolls, but you know, very old-school. When nobody would utter the word...
XOXO
Wow! And her French is so clear and precise.
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteOh well. She's French, after all. She also speaks four other languages and has done voice over for several movies.
XOXO
Her singing style reminds me of Marlene Dietrich's.
ReplyDeleteI know, right????
DeleteIt's that laissez-faire that gets under the skin...
XOXO
