Velvet Goldmine is also a, as my Thai friend refers to them, "Gay Movie" -- meaning, a movie about gay men. This song could very well be able the movie. If you look closely, you'll notice Bowie doesn't mention if he's singing about a female or not, which leads me to suspect it very well could be about this movie (if you look at Bowie's other songs, if he's singing about a woman, he lets you know). Yes, I am aware of the line "panther princess" said a few times.. but I know some gay men who enjoy being called "princess"..
