Happy Duran Duran Appreciation Day!

Although I have pretty much been listening to nothing but Take That since this whole depression thing set in, I still always have my boys in my heart and this is the week I celebrate them most, especially today since it is an official holiday! From my very humble beginnings as a 10 year-old girl falling in love with this very young and handsome man:

To even today, when we've both aged more than our fair share, but he still looks as hot to me today as he did then (if only I could say the same about myself):

So for my video dedication, I'm going with the Duran song that was written with the Duranies in mind...it's their song to us:


And, since once is never enough, let's go as far back as one can...to the demo version of Planet Earth, which I can guarantee that only a Duranie has ever seen:

To my favorite spin off (sorry Power Station):

To my ever favorite:

A bit of solo Simon (because I can):

To the most recent video they've done:

And finally, to the one song that should be my anthem right now considering how everything in my life is going:

"The past is another country, the present will never last, the future is still tomorrow, are we living too fast?" Story of my life.
