Can't Believe...

P...I forgot Bowie and Prince for my recent style playlist.

Here are two tracks from the overlords of all that is fantastic and ever so slightly odd to make up for it. These two bad boys (the tracks I've chosen, and in fact, Messrs Bowie & Prince come to think of it) make me want to jump around and squeak with excitement, thus transforming me from normal(ish) person to a gerbil on acid.

 Ah well, you can't have everything.

• David Bowie - Let's Dance
• Prince - Get off 

Playlist: Artists with Style Chutzpah

Sometimes you just gotta give props to those who not only write a banging tune, but also to those who wouldn't bat an eyelash at the concept of wearing paisley, or indeed a conical bra.  

1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man. That hair, that dress and a song dripping in soul. Beyond stylish. 
2. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady. Oh this man, this man. What. A. God. 
3. Madonna - Express Yourself.  Like her, loather her. You gotta hand it to the woman, she's got chutzpah by the bucket.  
4. The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses.  For a start there's Mick, who back in the day was one hot rock god and let's not forget Keith -  a man who is slowly evolving into a walking privet hedge. Amazing. 
5. Kraftwerk - The Robots. C'mon people they're German electro minimalists.
6. Beyoncé  - Why don't you love me?  The video for this song is solely responsible for the look I shall be working this summer.  It's merely a bonus that I'm already a martini drinking hot mess.
7. Diana Ross - Chain Reaction. The woman's clearly batshit crazy, but she owned the '60's with the Supremes and she's nailing '80's decadence with white fur, shoulder pads and a alarming amount of sequins. I love it. 
8. Louis Armstrong  - Hello Dolly.  A bow tie. A nice suit. A proper shirt with cufflinks. A handkerchief in his breast pocket. Lovely. This is what I call dressing for dinner. 
9. Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal . Screw Thriller, this video is so stylish it actually hurts. Prohibition era bar, white suits, fedoras, and that leaning dance move. 
10. Snoop Dogg - Drop it Like it's Hot . This video is smokin' and in Snoop's case, quite literally.
