What Price a Diva?

So, Alec Guinness' old tea towel goes for £45,000 plus premium and tax at Bonham's Sale - The Angels Star Collection of Film & TV Costumes. I was intrigued in Lot #185+, a showgirl outfit from the Bond film "Octopussy" feeling certain I'd seen it some where else.




Whaddya know. Annie Lennox had yanked it out of the dressing up box to wear in the video for her 1992 single "Why," and album artwork for "Diva." It went for £360 plus premium and tax, but then Annie did seem to pick it for it's worn out tackiness. Any way, the evidence......


And for someone who's alot funnier about all this kind of thing http://www.bayraider.tv/

I also liked the ripped red satin dress that Annie wore on the Eurythmics 'Revival' tour in 1989.

Faded glamour and the dirt behind the neon always seem to be mixed into her visual output.
