Lipstick Legends

Book excerpt: Actress, singer, author Angela Bowie draws upon her years of working with ex-husband David Bowie, in the exciting Glam Rock '70s when boys were wearing mascara, and society was changing, to tell the story of Lipstick Legends. She also interviewed the likes of Alice Cooper, producer Kim Fowley, Warhol legend Cherry Vanilla, Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, Chris Robison of The New York Dolls, author Mark Bego, musician Chick Cashman, journalist Mary Finnegan, and David Bowie's mime teacher and mentor Lindsay Kemp. According to Angela, "Lipstick Legends are people who pushed the envelope, and helped redefine sexual mores in the 1970s. Their story is a little bit beautiful, a whole lot brassy!" Journeying from swinging London, to Japan, Los Angeles, New York, and Switzerland, Angela Bowie shares her own personal voyage and along the way she channels some of the most exciting voices of the era of the Lipstick Legends.
