Bowie PDF Book from JFK247

charged for importuning after, he said, having sex
with the arresting officer. Bob Grace was called in to
post bail, and despite the aggravation, had a
sneaking respect for the way that Freddie insisted
on listing his occupation as ‘seamstress’. Usually
Freddie was seen hanging out with Daniella Parmar,
his ‘girlfriend’. ‘She was the first girl I had seen with
peroxide white hair with cartoon images cut and
dyed into the back,’ David remembers. ‘Blessed
with absolute style, she unwittingly changed so much
of how female Britain looked – after my then-wife
copied her sense of style.’ The ambiguity of Daniella
and Freddie’s relationship was part of the vibe.
Another of David’s protégés was Mickey King –
again, David loved to imply Mickey was another
bed-mate, it was all part of the confusion. As was the
sight of Angie, with scraped-back hair, in an
impeccably tailored suit, chatting up women at the
Sombrero. Freddie, thanks to his design skills,
became a semi-permanent member of the team
along with Daniella. Mickey would drop in and out of
Haddon Hall, as he did the rent-boy scene;
ultimately, he would die in mysterious circumstances
– stabbed by a jealous john, say his Haddon Hall
friends.
The kinky, noisy buzz around Haddon Hall
inspired David’s buoyant mood, which was
untroubled by the mess at Mercury and Philips.
Although the English version of The Man Who Sold
the World languished in limbo until next April,
delayed by the political changes at Philips, the
Americans were keen to release the album.
