aen27 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I've always loved that picture, he is so sweet here This happened to be one of the first pictures I loved of him. No one could pink and lavender like Jimmy. I am glad he still has this suit and included in Japanese Swinging London exhibit. That's not done by me, I found it on tumblr . Thanks.

Disco Duck Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I've always loved that picture, he is so sweet here Sweet isn't exactly the word I would use here. Nick Kent once opined that Jimmy Page looked like a corrupt choirboy. It's an apt description of the above photo. It also reminds me of a portrait I saw of a young Renaissance nobleman in velvet attire many years ago. The nobleman had pale skin, black hair and almond-shaped eyes. Who knows? Page may have been aiming for that look when he ordered his pink velvet suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy was/still is very interested in the pre-rhaphelites which gets forgotten about. He always reminded me of a pre-rhapelite prince. He is the only person who would mention Rossetti in an American magazine, which he did in his interview in December with Rolling Stone.

SozoZoso Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 He reminds me slightly of a Libertine like John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester Sweet isn't exactly the word I would use here.

april_lynn Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ^^ I love that dark blue jacket he has, he looks so good in it Me too! I love the shirt he has with it as well This just shows he doesn't always wear black these days. Oh yeah! I saw that thread, but never read it yet. He looks gorgeous in black, but this was a nice change. Looks so cosy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Duck Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The uncorrupted choirboy. . . This is a good photo. Notice the way it is lit, the placement of the candle, etc. It looks like a professional job which leads me to wonder: who took this photo and when did they take it? The fact that it is still around after 60 or so years implies that someone cherished it and kept it in a safe place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it is still around after 60 or so years implies that someone cherished it and kept it in a safe place. Yeah, it does look professional - the lighting and everything, plus of course it wouldn't have been permissible for people to just start taking snaps during a service (and look at that pitch-black background - what are they doing, having a service in a power cut?). . . perhaps there was a feature on the choir in the local press or something like that. Or (more likely I reckon, as he's the only kid in the picture and a paper would more likely have wanted a group shot), they had some professional pictures (or at least posed pictures, taken by a talented amateur) taken for the kids' parents, like they do at school. Either that or it was his mum taking a picture at home, with the lights out and a candle she had lying around, just because she wanted a shot of him in the choirboy get-up (I mean, you would, wouldn't you, if it was your little boy looking so angelic). Then naturally Jimmy's parents would have treasured it forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He named him in the interview, but I don't remember it off hand. ^ He really looks good in hats. I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
