This picture is mind-blowing for several reasons:
1) It's star-packed, with the best stars you can pack into one picture. There's Bowie, Iman and Lesley Gore.

2) Fucking Lesley Gore and Bowie are shaking hands. Can you imagine the type of electricity and greatness that handshake posesses?

3) Ok, that's pretty much it. Just Lesley Gore and David Bowie shaking hands. And if you don't know who Lesley Gore is aside from a reference from John Water's "Hairspray", shame on you. Part of the "Girl Group" movement, she sang, "It's My Party", "You Don't Own Me" and co-wrote "Out Here On My Own" - that's right - that song from "Fame" sang by Irene Cara. That incredible, squeaky clean Doris Day-ish woman also came out in 2005, at the age of 63. Incredible.
