Miscellaneous Babes

From Helmut Newton's Pirelli calendar, 1985

Susan (no last name) and Debbie Harry, 1977, shot by Swiss photographer and filmmaker, Edo Bertoglio. 

Bertoglio was a regular on the downtown NY art scene in the late 70's and early 80's. He made Downtown 81 (aka New York Beat Movie) with Maripol, starring Jean Michel Basquiat (and tons of my other favorites: James Chance, Kid Creole, Tish & Snooky, Roberta Bayley, John Lurie...the list goes on and on). It was shot in 1981, but wasn't released until 2000.

A 1970's makeup ad. I don't think they make it any more, but I seem to remember my mom having this brand around when I was a little kid.

My inclination is that this is a French new wave band called the Modernes, but I am really having a hard time verifying that.  JohnnyM let me know that this is an '80s French synthpop duo, Elli & Jacno, and that the photo is by Pierre René-Worms from 1981. Here is their MySpace page.

It says all that in the caption, and I tried to look up what I thought it might say, but it was too small to read!

Miscellaneous

Colorful Bodum grills.

Steve Strange from Visage. He was involved in many of the subculture scenes of the UK during the 70's and 80's, including punk and New Romantics, but he's mostly known for being a Blitz Kid (the most famous Blitz Kid is Boy George).

He was also in David Bowie's video, Ashes to Ashes.

Poster for the Niki De Saint Phalle exhibition at the Kunstverein, Dusseldorf, 1968

Madonna back when she was possibly a little bit more respectable; definitely more cute. Photographed (and possibly styled) by Maripol.

Miscellaneous

Edwige, Maripol and Bianca Jagger. Photo by Edo Bertoglio.

Maripol was took some of the coolest photos of the late 70s/early 80's. She's also credited as the stylist  responsible for Madonna's look back then. So great!

Additionally, these girls so hot in their red lipstick.
