Bowie in a dress with Klaus Nomi. Apparently Bowie hired them as performers and back-up singers for his appearance on Saturday Night Live which aired on December 15, 1979. The band performed "TVC 15", "The Man Who Sold the World", and "Boys Keep Swinging". During the performance of "TVC 15", Nomi and Arias dragged around a large prop pink poodle with a television screen in its mouth. Classic.

Damn you Fred! Now every time I hear TVC15 I'm going to be visualizing Bowie in that blue school marm get-up... What a trip!
At this time in his life, he said that he lived on "red peppers, cocaine and milk". Did you expect anything else from the Thin White Duke?
I'm pretty sure it was asparagus, cocaine, and milk :-P
