"LIKE A RHINESTONE BIKER..."

 

An AI-generated image of a rhinestone biker, created by RebelBikerDude using Magic Studio

The now late but always great Glen Campbell will forever be one of my all-time favourite singers, and one of the most popular of his countless recorded songs is the wonderful 'Rhinestone Cowboy' (click here toi view on YouTube Glen's original now-50-year-old official music video for this song). I was using Grok X1 and Magic Studio a while back to create via various verbal prompts from me some AI images that radically reimagine Lewis Carroll's very elderly, bumbling White Knight character from Through The Looking-Glass as a much younger, vibrant, heroic biker instead (click here and here to view the two resulting galleries), Both programs generated a sizeable number of pictures in which he is duly attired in immaculate white leather biker gear or armour. However, Magic Studio also generated some images in which his white gear is richly adorned with colourful brocade-like patterning often embedded with glittering rhinestones - very different indeed from what I'd prompted.

Although not suitable, therefore, for my White Knight thematic galleries, these unprompted pictures, some of which unexpectedly recalled Elvis Presley and the elaborate rhinestone-bejewelled catsuits that he famously wore during his Las Vegas concert years, were nonetheless far too attractive to discard. Consequently, I retained them on file in the hope that one day a relevant theme for them would come to mind so that I could then use them. A few days ago, I heard 'Rhinestone Cowboy' playing in a shop, and I immediately thought of those images, and of how perfect they would be if I chose to prepare a rhinestone biker-themed gallery. So that's what I did, and here it is.

'Rhinestone Cowboy' was one of my late mother's favourite songs, and she loved garments featuring brocade, rhinestones, embroidery, appliqué, and other ornamental, decorative, needlecraft design work. So I'm dedicating this gallery to her - God bless you, Mom, how I wish that you were still here with me, sharing my life with love and joy as you always did.
