I probably watched Jim Henson’s “Labyrinth”—starring a young Jennifer Connelly opposite the rawtha formidable one-and-only David Bowie, who played Jareth, the intimidating Goblin King—approximately 100 times when I was a kid and that’s no exaggeration. You better believe Bowie brought his signature sexy androgyny to the table and let’s just say it made a very young lady feel kinda funny inside. Is it weird to dress up as your childhood crush? Nah, but maybe it is a little kinky…

YAY bowie. I hate it when blogs say “the jump” though. “Hit the jump”, “after the jump”... the jump?

I have the labyrinth DVD and probably watched it a dozen or so times, its a childrens movie, but the effects, the sentiments, and Bowies unique and flambouyant stlye make the movie a must see by everyone. Try it once and you will be hooked.

I’m glad I’m not the only who felt funny things about Bowie

But next year this may have to be it.

OMG I am being Jareth for Halloween! A few weeks in the making, although I am going for Dance Magic Dance, casual Jareth. It’s easier to achieve! Awesome!
