"Don't you ever, don't you ever, stop being DANDY...showing me your handsome..."

Shien and i had a dream..a dream of a time when men and women got dressed up to go out to dance...when make-up and hairspray were de rigueur...when being Dandy wasnt a crime...it was a NECESSITY!!!! When music was fun and electronics were big and chunky...when colour was king and Dancing was done with wild flailing abandon!!!! So we tried to make that dream happen in the form of DISKO NOUVEAUX...but the dream was short lived....

however...

Dreams can ometimes come true AGAIN...So in honour of the re-birth of DISKO NOUVEAUX...i wanted to add some inspirational pictures here....I have been entranced with New Wave/New Romantic since i was young....The hair...the make-up...the grand illusion of it all..the decadnace and the irreverance.....The music AND the image.....they fit togther...unlike artists today sometimes...everything was new and fresh...everything was big and electronic....and I LOVE alot of music...and I portrayed alot of sides of my style in my life...but THIS movement always remains close to my heart!!!!! So I hope in these tawdry pictures of a bygone era you too find some inspirations...some solace.....some JOY!!! So tease up your hair...smear on some panstick....turn your stereo up...and dance like tommorow your going to DIE!!!!!!!

And join us on April 15...for the RETURN OF DISKO NOUVEAUX {at Le poisson Rouge NYC}
