LAUREN'S FIRST WORDS-

Lauren Pine

18 mins

Yes, it’s true.

I’m a bit more of a mermaid now.

A truck crossed my path while on my bike and took some leg with it.

Surprisingly I’m feeling well, thanks to all your blessings

and wishes and wonderful energy.

I was awake throughout some of it and really felt the overwhelming love,

you all mean so much to me.

This has been a testament of the love that our family and community has created.

All my Love

💖

✨ — with Lauren Pine.

“That is the shock. All clichés are true. The years really do speed by.
Life really is as short as they tell you it is."
~BOWIE~2003

"I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir," he said early on in his career. "I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, "F**k that. I want to be a superhuman."

“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring." he told the crowd at New York's Madison Square Garden during his 50th birthday concert in 1998.

"You would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is,” he said, referring to his marriage to supermodel Iman Abdulmajid.

“Fame itself … doesn’t really afford you anything more than a good seat in a restaurant,” he said in 1990.

"You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer, for Christ's sake."David Bowie

</h4> "I think <a data-beacon="{" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5zxeLwUSdk" target="_blank">we all like long hair</a> and we don't see why other people should persecute us because of it," he told BBC's "Tonight" in 1964. "We spent endless hours talking about fame, and what it's like not having a life of your own any more. How much you <a data-beacon="{" href="http://www.timeout.com/chicago/music/19-things-we-learned-about-david-bowie-from-his-time-out-interviews" target="_blank">want to be known before you are</a>, and then when you are, how much you want the reverse,"  1983 interview  “I suppose for me as an artist it wasn’t always just about <a data-beacon="{" href="http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/men-of-the-year/home/hall-of-fame/david-bowie-ziggy-stardust-2002-heroes-interview-photos/page/2" target="_blank">expressing my work</a>;  I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture I was living in,"~ 2002 interview <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tgcc5V9Hu3g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen “I feel that I’ve consistently written about the same subjects for 35 … nearly 40 years. There’s really been no room for change with me. It’s all <a data-beacon="{" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01r11wr" target="_blank">despondency</a>, despair, fear, isolation, abandonment,"~ 2002. "My performances have got to be <a data-beacon="{" href="http://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/david-bowie-pantomime-rock" target="_blank">theatrical experiences</a> for me as well as for the audience, "I don’t want to climb out of my fantasies in order to go up onstage -- I want to take them on stage with me."~Rolling Stone  1971. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uciyYTZ2B38" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

"What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time," 2002 interview.

As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated."

“All my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it,” ~ 2003.

"I mean, my whole life is made up of experimentation, curiosity and anything that seemed at all appealing," ~ 1983

"I really had a hunger to experience everything that life had to offer, from the opium den to whatever. And I think I have done just about everything that it's possible to do," ~ 1996.

"I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way . "I'm working for me."~ 2002

“I was virtually trying anything … And I think I have done just about everything that it's possible to do -- except really dangerous things, like being an explorer. "But anything that Western culture has to offer -- I’ve put myself through it.”

“Make the best of every moment. We’re not evolving. We’re not going anywhere.”

"We are just a species dependent on survival instincts, and that's how we build up our moralities, absolutes and truths," ~ 2002

THE BEST QUOTES

In those days, a gay man was made to feel nothing but shame about his feelings and his sexuality. I wanted my drawings to counteract that, to show gay men being happy and positive about who they were. Oh, I didn't sit down to think this all out carefully. But I knew - right from the start - that my men were going to be proud and happy men!

Tom of Finland

The abstract, especially in those rough sketches, is very important to me, perhaps because of my advertising background, where layout is so important. Sometimes those first few lines cut the paper into such satisfying shapes that I don't want to go on, but I always do, adding nostrils and nipples and bootstraps until I have filled the paper up as usual.

Tom of Finland

My whole life long I have done nothing but interpret my dreams of ultimate masculinity, and draw them.

Tom of Finland

If I don't have an erection when I'm doing a drawing, I know it's no good.

Tom of Finland

I almost never draw a completely naked man. He has to have at least a pair of boots or something on. To me, a fully dressed man is more erotic than a naked one. A naked man is, of course beautiful, but dress him in black leather or a uniform - ah, then he is more than beautiful, then he is sexy!

"I pass classical marble statues of nude and draped figures in the park every day, and they are a vision of sensuality – yes, but also of grace and freedom. As a participant in one of our most progressive aesthetic arenas, (IE~ fashion) am I not allowed to use this imagery? Is it only appropriate for a Michael Fassbender movie? I thought this might be an interesting question."
