ANGELA BOWIE SIGNS A DEAL TO PUBLISH “LIPSTICK LEGENDS”
Published on 1st March 2012 at 16:25
Rock’s Legendary Angie Shares Her Past and Interviews Glam Rock Legends
Alice Cooper, Kim Fowley, Cherry Vanilla, and Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple
Actress, singer, author Angela Bowie has just signed a publication contract for
Lipstick Legends, her time machine voyage to the era of the 1970s when Glam Rock was
all the rage. Drawing upon memories of her experiences with ex-husband David Bowie,
Angie uses her own life as a vantage point from which to interview 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, legendary 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 the sexual mores of the 1970s. They were people, like myself, who lived
during most indulgent and vibrant decade of the Twentieth Century. I am thrilled to
share the spotlight of Lipstick Legends with such a glittering cast of characters. It’s a
little bit beautiful, a whole lot brassy!”
Drawing upon her years as a writer and performer, Angela takes the reader into
the room with her in a way that is conversational and informative, and channels an entire
era.
“Are you a “Lipstick Legend?” asks Ms. Bowie. “I bet you are. Did you dance
all night and party until breakfast, front a band, and get all dragged up? Did you march
and protest, fall in love, or swoon at David Bowie shows? Are you threatening to relive
the exhilarating panic times of Glam Rock, and the squealing tires of adrenaline
entertainment? Were you there with me on the dancefloor of the Sombrero in London? I
bet you were! Were you with me those six nights of sold-out concerts at Universal
Amphitheater? Wherever you were, come with me and relive those gay old days. Plunge
into that pool of ecstasy with me one more time.” If you are looking for something
different, Lipstick Legends is it.
Lipstick Legends will be published in the Summer 2012 by Publish America, and
will be available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com globally.
Angela Bowie has recently penned articles in British magazines Vogue and
Harper’s Bazaar, on the internet magazine Frock, and she is the author of three
previously published books: Free Spirit (1982), Backstage Passes (1993), and The
Pocket Guide to Bisexuality. She lives in Tucson, Arizona.
