I think we’ve discussed the magazine CANDY before. Like, James Franco was on the cover once? Yes. It’s a magazine for (and done by) transgendered individuals, with pictorials devoted to… well, you can guess. I’m not judging anything, seriously. This magazine is not for me, so I don’t have a real opinion on the content. Only this: CAN YOU F–KING BELIEVE THIS IS TILDA SWINTON????? OMG.
If you were going to guess the “star” of this pictorial, who would you have guessed before even considering Tilda Swinton? I have a list.
1. Florence Welch.
2. David Bowie.
3. Cher.
4. Lady Gaga.
5. A random drag-queen that Candy picked up at a LGBT Spelling Bee.
6. Adele.
7. CHER?!
8. Chaz Bono.
9. Any of the contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
10. RuPaul.
The fact that it’s Tilda, and that she wore these wigs and had her makeup done (by drag queens) and wore these clothes… does it make you love her more? In my case… kind of. She really is a chameleon, isn’t she? Amazing.

wow amazing pictures! She does have amazing skin and figure.
I guess I’m showing my age by thinking it was a heavily tweaked Lesley-Anne Warren.

Tilda is glorious no matter what she does. Stunningly beautiful in a most unconventional way. Nothing but love for her.
In the 3rd picture she actually looks like Leslie Ann Warren:

My head started reeling you gave me the feeling the room had no ceiling or floor. Ten minutes ago I met you and we murmered our how do you dos. I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms and to sing out the news.

I loved that movie so much when I was a little girl but then I rented it for my own daughter and about rolled off the couch laughing about how hokey the settings were. Still loved the actors though.

Or did love them until I found out the beautiful prince ended up as that fat jerky Quartermaine guy on some soap opera. How the mighty are fallen….sigh.

Wow! A woman dressed as a woman!(?) I don’t get it. Or is it a dis (although nobody’s offended) about how Tilda is so man-like that decking her out in over-the-top glamwear (long curly wig, fake lashes and other stage makeup, vampy clothes) is similar to being a biological male presenting themselves to the world as female. ?????? I’ve not seen any Tilda movies (so that MUST be why I’m missing all the excitement) -but I’m over her already!

You cannot mistake that bone structure for anyone but Tilda from the first photo. Plus the red hair was a dead give away. Now if you have shown her in the last set of photos I would have been stumped.

God. She has such astounding versatility. There is something about her transcendent androgyny that makes me want to drink in her presence.
Love this woman. I discovered her over a decade ago in this small indie film that she did called Female Perversions, and I’ve been hooked ever since. She restores my faith in the possibility of legitimate creativity in the film industry.
I think I’m going to go out and snag a copy for myself, and I don’t typically buy mags.

I think in a world that adores the talentless and superficial (Kardashians), it’s nice to see someone was has talent and doesn’t rely on her looks or fitting into a particular mold. The amazement comes from her doing these pics that are so unlike her, yet she rocked them without looking awkward and out of place. She’s a talented woman.
