Glamdammit Bowie Birthday Bash
David Bowie remains the face of glam rock enthusiasts, even though his glammed-up look was really the collaborative effort of Kabuki make-up expert Tomasu Boru and Elizabeth Arden hairstylist Evelyn Paget. But without his androgynous efforts, straight boys wouldn’t really have an excuse for wearing a bit of foundation on occasion. Tonight, Twig The Wonderkid, Michael T, and Harley Sears are celebrating Bowie’s B-day with tribute band Ziggy Starlet, Theodore Grimm, and cabaret by Stormy Leather.
