S2. Ep.24 WE JUST NEEDED COMPUTERS ft. Angie Bowie

We have the author, journalist, model, cultural curator, and glam icon Angie Bowie!

We ask her about her legendary work as an image maker, including 7 years of training in couture, followed by the fashioning of David Bowie with designer Freddie Burretti. She tells us about making the deals and getting the means to build the team to make the shows look the way they wanted them to look in those early days, including David Bowie’s transformation from folk strummer to glam superstar.

We wanted to know about her 1982 appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, with Mick Karn from the English new wave band Japan and she tells us everything!

Nerd Alert! Marc had to know all about Angie’s interest in Marvel and DC comics, including her role in visioning Wonder Woman (as we know her). It turns out to be one of those fascinating show-business gotcha stories. She and Stan Lee were both ahead of their time. We get to find out what they might have done together if only they had access to the technology of computers at the time…but you really have to hear her tell it.

Listen into to this episode where we learn all about “bad hype”, Magic Fingers, and “getting to the nook!” with Angie Bowie!

S1. Ep. 27 Thank You Bambi Lake... and Eartha Kitt ft. Justin Vivian Bond

We have the legendary Kiki DuRane AKA Auntie Glam, that’s right... it’s Justin Vivian Bond! Viv and Heklina recollect sharing stages in San Francisco and then Mx Viv gives us a pretty jarring (canning?) account of Heklina’s first ever drag performance... Marc is not sure if we should include a trigger warning: it involves creamed corn. We remember the recently departed Bambi Lake. Viv regales us with stories about Eartha Kitt and Bambi Lake. We find out about the Bambi-Lake-inspired San Francisco origin story of Kiki and Herb’s Kiki DuRane and all about the masterclass Eartha Kitt gave Vivian Bond on being absolutely glamorous and perfectly political.

“Golden Age of Hustlers” is written by Bambi Lake and performed by Justin Vivian Bond. The song is featured with permission from Justin Vivian Bond.
