Everything I Need to
Know I Learned From David Bowie
By
Cedric MacKinnon
Right—so, how does one become a badass vampire and look
fabulous whilst doing so? Sure, I had
some wonderful teachers in the martial arts and weaponry, but all the really
important things, things that make me stand out from the dreary lot of
bloodsuckers, I learned from the Master of Cool, the Sultan of Style, the one-
and-only David Bowie.

1.
Red hair is hot.
David Bowie is a natural blond, yet he continually dyed his hair
red. Why? The answer is clear: it’s sexy to be a ginge.
2.
Although sparkling is definitely taboo for
Immortyls, a little strategically applied glitter is fabulous. Bowie once played a vampire in The Hunger.
Never did he sparkle-- and he was the Guru of Glitter.
3. Looking like a pirate can be a good thing—eye patch optional.

4.
Real Men Wear Silk. One doesn’t have to overcompensate on the
masculinity. Men who wear make-up and
spandex often get the hottest women.
(It’s even more fabulous to be bisexual and
share the love!)
5. Be wary of strangers; one of them could be the
Goblin King.
I should have listened to this
advice and not bought into my master Raj’s plans for me.
Oh well,if I hadn’t I would probably be dead
now—not nearly as fabulous.
6.
Play the guitar and sing. Everyone loves a troubadour. My instrument of choice is a vintage Fender
Stratocaster.
7.
Just when your public thinks they have you sorted
out, change your image!

So, there you have it! Of course, one doesn’t slavishly follow the master. One must evolve a personal style-- bring innovations into the canon, so to speak.

Thanks, love, for your continued support!
Cedric, dear boy, of COURSE you take the fabulous Bowie as your guide. Nobody else would be gorgeous AND edgy enough for you. I adore your new look. I wish you would visit my blog and post about your tattoos.

Marian, I'd love to visit your blog again! I'm working on questions for your mermen.
They're mermayds, darling. Email me, and I'll send you a story. There's also one on my blog. "Blood of Mermayds"
Mermayds, I stand corrected. Trotting over there.
