this cover is so awful - yet you can hardly look away !
as you know Sting had to earn some money when the POLICE were still struggling and this photo was just one of his modelling jobs
there are more like this on my flickr page
enjoy

Hahaha! Awesome! I used to buy those photostory magazines when I was about 10 - they were pretty hilarious.

Thanks, Dietmar.
That sure is one pathetic little Superman logo Sting's got there.

Great stuff! Never seen these before.
>> His nose is quite tremendous
At least, it used to be...I suspect a little bit of a trim at some point, but I could be wrong.

YOU ALL MISSED IT !!!! THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE RED JACKET !!!
Maybe he got the Jacket from the photo shoot (I was a model too and we were very badly paid, but often got free clothes...)

I remember the kerfuffle back in '85 over Sting's nose job.
IMO? It's obvious he's had at least one, and one has to wonder why he wasn't concerned about the possibility of it affecting that fabulous vocal range.

Kerfuffle is right. I remember ordering my Sting calendar in 1987 with pics of his new nose and just shitting bricks. What the hell is that thing on his face! I loved the old nose so much more. I forgave him though, especially since the calendar was all beach photos and he was only weazaring a shirt in two of the pics.
I agree Dive, that you'd think he'd be too afraid of affecting his singing voice. Maybe he was thinking he was going to go full-time into acting or something. Which is humorous given the Sting curse--no movie no matter how promising has ever been a big hit as long as Sting participates in it...
