Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 13:30:55 +0000 From: "Andrew Shearer" Subject: RE: [AVALON] ouch In the Word magazine a few digs at BF: One is a double spread indicating what's cool and what's not - BF is shown near the fire alarm, whereas Leonard Cohen is shown as sub-zero. >>>Yikes! The Word magazine hold BF to ridicule. A bit like Laura Ashley criticizing Warhol.<<< And in another comparison with Leonard Cohen, on Cohen's ability to wear a suit, theres a remark along the lines of:"Here's a man you won't catch advertising for M&S". >>>Here's a man you won't catch being asked to<<< There was an article in the Guardian a few weeks back about the author not being able to look like BF even though he buys all his clothes from M&S - - I'll try to post it at the weekend. But I get the feeling that advertising for M&S may have backfired for both Ferry and the company, I don't know what others think? >>>>BF is so beyond the norm for style that he would frankly have to wear a clown costume to shake off his coolness - oh, sorry, that was Bowie wasn't it!<<<< Steve T. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2006 13:50:48 -0000 From: Subject: RE: [AVALON] "Oh, Pellets" as Ivor Cutler used to sing... - -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Thrower [mailto:stevesimon@blueyonder.co.uk] Sent: 11 November 2006 01:56 To: avalon@smoe.org Subject: RE: [AVALON] "Oh, Pellets" as Ivor Cutler used to sing... I don't think the M&S campaign will do Ferry any harm at all. A few smart articles from the jealous brigade doesn't hide the exposure Ferry gets from this. Ive been in Bluewater, Canterbury , Lakeside and Glasgow recently and its great to see the Prisoner of Perfection up there in the shop windows. Bluewater had a good poster of him across the whole shop front. Ok I know this doesn't mean everyone is going to head straight to Virgin / HMV and buy his records. He's more cool than Jeremy Guscott in Austin Reed, at least Ferry didn't model pullovers.
