Listen, the earth is melting. Our country is being led by tyrants. With each passing crisis, now is the time that we as individuals need to focus on our mental health. I, myself, am a big fan of therapy. Second to the therapy, though, is looking at archival photos of Cher.
As a singer, TV host, entertainer, fashion icon, and Oscar-winning actress, Cher has had a special place in every gay's heart ever since she walked the 1973 Met Gala red carpet in her feather Bob Mackie naked dress. But outside of her most iconic moments, Cher was one of the most photographed women in the world during her time. From that era, we are blessed with a treasure trove of breath-taking images of our queen of Tauruses. Today, on her birthday, we review some of our favorites in her honor.
Ok so smoking is bad for you, kids, but Cher attending this 1974 event in Los Angeles is 100% fashion goals.
From her hit Sonny & Cher Show come some of the most whackadoodle costuming you've ever seen. This one, from an episode with guest star Liberace, is honestly pretty tame for her.
I miss Cher's old nose. :(
This is from her 1979 album Prisoner, which was a commercial flop, but the promotional photos we got from it were incredible.
This photo just cleared my skin, fixed my credit store, revived all my dead plants, and I think my ex is calling me right now to apologize.
Is this... the greatest image... in existence?
Ok no wait, this is the greatest image in existence.
Cher performing at the Rainbow Theater in London, 1977. We are but mortals!
From the late 80s, performing in Atlantic City. If only we could all look this good in a lace body suit at age 43!
This was one of Cher's most profound hair phases and we don't talk about it enough.
A true taurus knows that there's no such thing as too many pillows.
The one-eyed, flying purple people eater found dead!
Cher, renowned drag king.
Some people say that Eve was the first woman to inhabit the earth, but real ones know it was Cher.
From Vogue, 1979. Anyway, I think I'm bisexual now?
At the inauguration of Jimmy Carter, and looking like she's gonna come steal your man.
Is this performance art?
Cher walked so Britney Spears' "Slave 4 U" could run!
