May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Had a go at tidying up the image of Jim in the SSIS fold-out poster with the 7” vinyl. Don’t know if any of you guys have a crease proof copy, but I don’t…and I have three of them! Lol. 30+ years of being folded up will do that. The crease stubbornly would fall all…
It’s the 1981 aesthetic. Jim wearing collared shirts and tailored trousers. All very Great Gatsby and just oozing sophistication and sex appeal. He looks like a 1940s film star. So I coined the nickname “Laird Dash Fandango” for him, to sum up the look and his stage presence at the time. Stills from the Sweat…
It’s a matter-of-fact title. I gave it a film effect and added a load of stars – hence: Film Star. I also hadn’t titled anything LDF for a while – and this picture is right in the period for which I give him that title. Laird Dash Fandango could very well have been a film…

priptona-weird: This man SERIOUSLY gives me a microphone fetish! He has SO many ways of holding a mic – and, you know, mics are all phallic and stuff. JIM, JUST STOP IT! STOP MAKING ME HAVE UNSAVOURY THOUGHTS ABOUT YOU AND MICROPHONES! My beautiful Goth Prince: Laird Dash Fandango I’m the one needing a fan…
New lock screen and home screen. The lock screen isn’t really quite the same as just being able to see it as and when…but at least I’ll see it (him) several times a day now :-))
More full res scans of LDF aka Jim Kerr.
And speaking of Phase Three of the Q Magazine Special – here is the photo of Jim Kerr from it scanned at an even HIGHER res than before…in all his utter, utter gorgeousness. THE WHITE SUIT! TOPLESS UNDER THE JACKET! THE BLACK BOOTS! ***MASCARA*** BLACK HAIR! LIKE A GOTH PRINCE/LORD/LAIRD! Laird Dash Fandango in ALL…
