David Bowie, Scary Monsters - Pierrot, 1980

An outtake from the session that produced the cover artwork for David Bowie's 1980 album, Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). It features Bowie in a Pierrot costume that he first wore in the "Ashes to Ashes" video. The bleached-out look was supposed "to symbolize the discarding of Bowie's old personae," as the chameleon-like musician had moved away from the character he created for the "Berlin Trilogy."
