View Full Version : Being a girl and being in the Bowie-band

Hello, my name is Fiona. I am a 50plus T-girl from Holland. When I was 14 years old I had two wishes: being in the band of David Bowie and dressing like a girl. In the years that followed I got the opportunity to dress as a girl a lot. I don't think I'm transgender but I really feel comfortable in dresses and skirts. Luckily my wife has a preference for me as a girl than as a man. Lucky me.
Two years ago I found out how I also can be in the Bowie band (well not the real Bowie-band offcourse). In my studio I can record a Bowie song and with greenscreen-technology I can make a clip of myself performing David Bowie songs (or other songs I like) It's no commercial thing, I do this for fun, but I like to share it here. Maybe it will inspire other girls.
Regards from Holland, Fiona

Thanx Patience, the fretless precisionbass is handmade build for my by a friend. To be honest, it is not the bass you hear on the recording. Fiona

How fun! When will we get a cover of 'Suffragette City' or 'Ziggy Stardust'? :)

I did do suffragette city, about a year ago, it's on my youtube-channel. I tried Ziggy but couldn't get the right 'groove'.

Nice.
What manner of Les Paul copy is that can't quite read the headstock logo.

it's called custom 77, the really special thing about it are the bullet-holes.

Thanks I was curious.
I do know they distribute out of France but not sure where they are made.
Don't think I could bear to shoot holes in my home built Les Paul copy.
She is beat hard and banged up but she plays like a dream.

Wow! Great video! I have a Honer fretless P bass with white frets that I bought in 1986. I thought they only made harmonicas

I like how each member of the band has a different outfit and wig. Dutch girls Rock!

actually, you buy the guitar with the bulletholes, custom 77 did it. It's my sons guitar, I've borrowed it for the clip. I don't think I could put holes in a beautiful les paul, Fiona

Thanx, I have lots of outfits and wigs. There is a shop in the centre of town where they sell cheap wigs, and I buy my outfits on the market. So with little money I have diversity. And yeah, dutch girls rock!

I love fretless basses, but I mostly use a normal bass with frets. On teh clip I'm playbacking the bass so it doesn't matter. Fiona

A lot of girls here experiment with photography and other media to extend the look of their female self.

Love this! I share your desire to play/be Bowie, but not the talent! When I was young I was hugely influenced by him, he gave me the excuse to put on makeup and go out in it for the first time :)
