Happy Birthday, Chris Lowe!

Today is perpetual shades-wearing Pet Shop Boys member Chris Lowe's 51st birthday. (He's pictured  above right, circa 1986—but of course I'm now realizing he hasn't got sunglasses on, so there goes that "perpetual shades-wearing" comment out the window.)

You can wish him a happy b'day in the guest book over at the Boys' official site, and watch a bit of him in these clips from the 2006 documentary on the duo, A Life In Pop.
