David Tennant as Davina.

I am watching YouTube and having a bit of a David Bowie fest.....and Boys keep Swinging video came up. I have not watched the video for ages although I listen to the track often, it's on Lodger, one of my favourite Bowie albums and very underrated. Well I realised I think David Tennant's character Davina reminds of Bowie in Drag in that video..who in turn was doing it as a homage to Romy Haag.... a trans woman who he had a thing with during the Berlin years.

David Bowie in Boys keep Swinging video.

Romy Haag...with Bowie in a few photos.

No one will tell me that DT wasn't inspired by DB, who was in turn by RH. I love seeing a full circle moment. Love my connections of joining the dots... lol.

Interesting article about Romy in link.

As a Bowie admirer I knew of Romy, but was also aware of some wonderful images /book that were taken in the 70s by a fabulous photographer Anno Wilms, who also published a book of the Lindsay Kemp Company who I worked with.

If this link doesn't work, go to the kemp one below and then scroll upwards to find section or downwards and it's near the bottom on the page. Stunning images.

Even DT's biblical times Crowley gives me that vibe too...lol
