Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

good work

This isn't unexpected but it makes me happy all the same - so much blondeness! Harry Nilsson and Joni Mitchell.

I meant to post this here a while back when I first found out, but apparently Alexander Skarsgard and Jack McBrayer are besties?!

Colonel Sanders & Ziggy Pop

is that Lou Reed on the left??

OK, a buddy insists that it's a fake japanese Colonel, but I don't want to believe it. It's on a japanese cruise ship.

I don't think so Stevie... could you see Lou wearing that tie?

not really, but the 'fro?

that colonel looks a bit... wide.

maybe this explains why lou and bowie had that mysterious fistfight that time

david bowie was about 5'9", 5'10"

according to imdb.com, colonel sanders was also 5'10". old age may have cut down sanders' heigh a little, but in that photo, if bowie is 5'10", then sanders is like 5'0"

But Bowie could be wearing 7" stack heels

that's john lennon on the right, btw

Huh, I thought it was Robin Gibb... good to know.

Thought it was Barry Manilow.

Bowie was never 5'10", though I think this argument's been had before.

(xp) Yes!

i definitely don't mean to argue or make an argument, it was just what a quick lil google said (5'9 and a half is what i actually saw)

i do believe, though, that colonel sanders is 4'11"

that's clearly Rod Stewart on the right

FPing Andy for bringing th impeccable standards of this thread into such shambolic repute

harsh but fair

Has this one been posted?

WT...?

xpost (blushing slightly) At your service.

That's a fake Melania.

No, that's Michael Jackson.

Countdown to Tuomas has begun.

lol

George Lucas is wearing a fetching official ILM baseball sleeve shirt.

Free Agents of Misfortune.

this is something to do with Captain Eo, right?

surely not

can't believe the producer, star and director of the same film would ever be in the same place together

It's a smaller file than the version posted four months ago, but the same photo.

George Lucas is wearing a fetching official ILM baseball sleeve shirt.

it *is* sorta odd that there is not ILX gear out there

we could fund a dedicated politics board with the proceeds !

We kind of missed the window for trucker hats

There were baseball shirts on Cafe Press at one point - I think I still have mine at the bottom of a drawer.

But then there was the whole "selling what belongs to all of us for profit" argument (over a book?) which derailed it

Yes, I believe George Lucas sold the ILM rights for several billion dollars a few years ago.

Fuckin' Disney.

xpost I'll see your Liz and raise you a Di

always crashing in the same car

sorry

I lolled.

As did I.

Me too, but I'm an American.

I lolled and may take time to do so again tomorrow

On another note, did Bowie ever look worse than this 1987-ish period? Bad fashion and bad music colliding spectacularly...

You think that's bad, you should've seen Di in her 1997-ish period.
