I didn't go, but I hear it was spectacular and varied, just like his many public personas are. I feel so out-classed, when you're a globe-trotter who has met famous people. I agree that any memoir you wrote would be fascinating...and yes, it would probably be similar to the gay novels you write. But it would be one of those things where you'd have people saying, "It can't be true!" And you'd reply, "Yes it is! You can't make this stuff up!" Or publish it as a novel and laugh when reviewers say it's not realistic or believable, while you hug yourself, knowing it's all true.Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-89940917080132450742015-02-04T17:32:16.589-05:002015-02-04T17:32:16.589-05:00If I would just stop writing all these gay novels ...If I would just stop writing all these gay novels I might have time - but then it would be a gay novel wouldn't it?JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305127219838784688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-34471383375838719932015-02-04T17:30:36.014-05:002015-02-04T17:30:36.014-05:00Yes, I knew him when he was David Jones he was a ...Yes, I knew him when he was David Jones he was a mime artist with Lindsay Kemp Mime Company.

I started my work career, fell in love, got married, and had my first of 4 kids in 88. The 10 years after that are mostly a blur of diapers and cuddly babies/toddlers. <br /><br />BTW, I don't know if Bowie is your real last name, but it isn't David's. His REAL name was already registered with the recording artists industry...he was born David Jones. Yes, that's right, the guy from the Monkees stole his name. He chose Bowie after the knife guy of legend, since many Brits love stories of the old west in the "colonies".Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19240009832568558952015-02-03T19:28:57.913-05:002015-02-03T19:28:57.913-05:00Writing this blog brought a lot of memories back -...Writing this blog brought a lot of memories back - some I can still smile about, others bring tears.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305127219838784688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-3415571038122910882015-02-03T18:52:10.353-05:002015-02-03T18:52:10.353-05:00Good to have exposed yourself (pun intended) while...Good to have exposed yourself (pun intended) while still young. I traveled, but in much less sophisticated style. Once, three of us went from New Jersey to Miami in a TR-4. 1200 miles in a 2-seater.<br /><br />Momma and I lived in the Castro, SF between 19th & 20th just before the AIDS crisis. We were the only straight apartment in the building, but we did a lot of partying. Lost a number of friends and former neighbors in the 80's too. What a horrible thing. We were so lucky.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-12949081779180395272015-02-03T17:57:34.337-05:002015-02-03T17:57:34.337-05:00One hilarious cruise I worked as casino manager wi...One hilarious cruise I worked as casino manager with 500 Germans on board.
