I was at a record convention in Massachusetts today when I dug around and found this. The woman sold it to me for only $20, which is a great deal.

It's "Boy George's Fashion & Make-up Book." It was released in '84, only in the UK. I couldn't pass up such a gem like this, and I figured you'd all get a kick out of seeing it. I'll try to get some page scans within the next few days.

The book shows how to cut and sew fabrics to make George's clothes, and has a whole section on applying make-up to look just like him.

Cool book! I was into Boy George and Culture Club for a while, and I still have a few of their albums. I even used to have an early biography about him. I wish I could find that on Ebay!

The "George's Sayings" are priceless!

It makes you understand how he wound up in rehab just a few short years later.

Great job, Nate!

Dang. I Totally Forgot About That Book. I Picked It Up In Cali @ A Swap Meet For A Buck. When Boy George Was In Town I Got To See Him At The Hard Rock Casino Because I Took It Down To The Local Radio Station And Loaned It To A DJ (Jessie) Who Was Set To I
