That first silver-blue dress...Am I the only that came to think of that mermaid-dress Pj talked about in some interview? she said that it was a custom-made dress she wanted to wear on stage during the TBYML-tour but John Parish thought it was "too much" or something like that...I even think she called it the mermaid-dress herself. There´s a thread about it somewhere here

I have never seen this picture (thanks for posting it!) before and wondered if this might be that dress?

I remember the interview and now that you mention it, it could be that mermaid dress, but I don't think I've ever seen it otherwise. That is, I'm sure I haven't seen it, but the some one always corrects me.

Is that her? I had never seen this picture before and it's an amazing one!

It's not PJ. It does looks like her though!

i'd say not - i reckon it could be the same person as below who appeared on page 19 of this thread who again i don't believe to be Polly!!

But Mart, That IS Polly! Look at the hair style and her nose. Dead give-aways, I think.

It is commonly mistaking for PJ (obviously) but the gun in mouth photo was taken by Helmut Newton of Italian Actress Jo Champa

I find it hard to see Polly in this pic too, there's something strange around the neck...a shadow
could be a "decopage"...but still maches with this other one
so...

don't know what to think...

^ nope still not having it

It's Anton Corbijn that B&W shot of her, seen it at an Corbijn ex in Amsterdam last summer.

Agree with last comment, it is Polly since I saw the photo on a Anton Corbijn exhibition in Sweden. He has also taken photos of Nick Cave, Captain Beefheart, Zappa, David Bowie, Patti Smith, Joy division etc

Is that it? I WANT TO SEE THE TAIL!

I just remember that they had this thing made, but then it was way too awkward to actually wear on stage.

obviously old ones but i've not seen these particular ones before;
