NICK RHODES WAS THE ULTIMATE 80’S PRETTY BOY AT HIS WEDDING

What could be more uplifting on a Monday than a trip back to the indulgent 80’s? We came upon this photo of Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes’ 1984 wedding at the observational Dangerous Minds.net site and it says EVERYTHING about music style in the 80’s. Nick, 22, married Idaho department store heiress Julie Anne Friedman, 25, in a costly over the top ceremony in London. When Andy Warhol met the couple (he had a crush on Rhodes) he remarked that Nick “wore twice as much makeup as Julie” and was “half as tall.” In spite of the decadent era, the marriage lasted 8 years and produced a daughter. (We met Nick at an MTV event in the 80’s and he was as adorable as he was high on something.)

THE NOT SO ORDINARY WORLD OF SIMON LE BON

Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon, 55, escorted his model daughter Amber, 24 to the Evening Standard Theater Awards in London. Amber’s mother is Yasmin Le Bon, one of the top fashion models of the 80’s. Simon is looking more like a father than a rock star tonight.

DURAN DURAN STILL LOOKS MORE THAN PRESENTABLE

Another comeback! And it looks like it will be successful – 80’s band Duran Duran has extended their run at the Barrymore Theater on Broadway in New York, starting next week. They’re celebrating the release of their new album Red Carpet Massacre. (LOVE the title) Nick Rhodes is still our favorite little fashionista. We met him years ago at an MTV party and he was very drunk and loads of fun.
