Sexy Cedric: Everything I Need to Know I Learned from David Bowie

Everything I Need to Know I Learned From David BowieByCedric MacKinnon

Right—so, how does one become a badass vampire and look fabulous whilst doing so?  Sure, I had some wonderful teachers in the martial arts and weaponry, but all the really important things, things that make me stand out from the dreary lot of bloodsuckers, I learned from the Master of Cool, the Sultan of Style, the one- and-only David Bowie.

Read on to the end to leave a comment for your free ebook of Annals of the Immortyls!

1.       Red hair is hot.  David Bowie is a natural blond, yet he continually dyed his hair red.  Why?  The answer is clear: it’s sexy to be a ginge.




2.       Although sparkling is definitely taboo for Immortyls, a little strategically applied glitter is fabulous.  Bowie once played a vampire in The Hunger.  Never did he sparkle-- and he was the Guru of Glitter. 

3.       Looking like a pirate can be a good thing—eye patch optional.

 
4.       Real Men Wear Silk.  One doesn’t have to overcompensate on the masculinity.  Men who wear make-up and spandex often get the hottest women. 



(It’s even more fabulous to be bisexual and share the love!)
5.     Be wary of strangers; one of them could be the Goblin King.




I should have listened to this advice and not bought into my master Raj’s plans for me.
 Oh well,if I hadn’t I would probably be dead now—not nearly as fabulous.
6.       Play the guitar and sing.  Everyone loves a troubadour.  My instrument of choice is a vintage Fender Stratocaster. 
7.       Just when your public thinks they have you sorted out, change your image!



The Old Cedric: Vampire Courtesan

So, there you have it!  Of course, one doesn’t slavishly follow the master.  One must evolve a personal style-- bring innovations into the canon, so to speak.
