The pic was taken from the front, that's why I didn't recognize her.

Apparently in that first photo I posted Sir Jimmy Savile and Frank Bruno are meeting the Yorkshire Ripper.
The ones I didn't recognise in the second are Liberace and wrestler Wendi Richter.

I can't name all the people in that Jay Z pic either, but at least Skrillex is getting attacked.

It would be nice if people actually wrote the names of the people in the pics, I have no idea who some of these foks are...
I have no who the other two are... But at this point I've given up hope people would actually include the names with the pics.

the impression that i get is that if you don't recognise who the people are then you won't get why its unusual why they're photographed together, and that writing underneath who they are might somehow spoil the surprise of seeing them together - have i got that right? i don't mind either way personally...
― face depalma (stevie), Friday, 24 February 2012 08:35 (twelve years ago) link
No, I didn't recognize Alicia Keys, even though I'm familiar with her work. The thought of her and Adams sitting next to each other is still mind boggling.

i'm bad w/faces, i haven't even recognised many of the people i do know in this thread. and i know who wayne coyne is, and do find that funny (in a bad way), but wouldn't have recognised him by sight

The same with me, I don't every celebrity by the face but I might recognize the name. I know about Flaming Lips but I didn't know what their singer looks like.

So yeah, like Billy Dods I certainly know Alicia Keys is, just don't know her face well enough to have recognized her in that pic.

Didn't realize that was Liberace in the first pic. I mistook him for a particularly goofy David Hasselhoff.

I was waiting for that objection but tbf I'd be surprised if the three of them have been in the same room much of late. That photo was taken backstage at the old groaner's 30th anniversary shindig at Madison Square Garden.
Besides I think a lot of the pleasure from some of these photos comes out of the fact that they are unposed and informal, which that one certainly is.
