Face to Face with the Man Who Sold the World

Day 15 of 25 Days of Bowie

Here's Bowie with his ex-wife Angela Bowie, probably during the Ziggy Stardust era.

Angela wrote a book about her time with Bowie called "Backstage Passes: Life on the Wild Side with David Bowie."

In the book she claims that she made Bowie into the star he is. She claims that the man-dress, androgyny, Ziggy Stardust, etc. was all her idea. I don't know the truth in that, but it was a scandalous, interesting read.

The Man-Dress

Day 9 of 25 Days of Bowie

This is the cover for the album

The Man Who Sold the World circa 1970.

This was during that long flowing hair and "man-dress" phase.
