you guys dig that tranny look?
Yeeeaahhh... I been trying to sort that one out for a while myself...
I downloaded some old David Bowie TV special footage a while back, and was immediately intrigued by this person... but... I don't know... Internet research has me going back and forth... there are convincing enough looking pictures that make me believe she is all woman... but enough random anecdotes from people who *swear up and down* that they knew him before he had become she... I'm left very confused...
If she is a conversion, she is a damn good conversion.
See now... that's kind of what I was thinking... especially for whatever the state of cosmetic medical technology must have been back in the 1960's... I mean even to this day, in the 2000's, there are sometimes actual female-born ladies who get their breasts done and it comes out looking terrible (and obvious)...
The few topless/nude Amanda Lear photos I have seen in the past would then make me think "all-female" for sure, unless the photos were tinkered with(?)
But that would have been pre-Photoshop technology of course... I don't think I'm familiar with the limits of old-fashioned photo manipulation... so I guess anything is possible...?
And then there's the association with Dalí, which could definitely put a spin on and make me doubt anything that I would otherwise take as known fact...
So I go in circles, and I give up.
My mind, it's a terrible diskette.
