Angie Bowie's daughter, Stacie? is from her relationship with Andrew Lipka aka Drew Blood from a punk band. I read somewhere that she's now been in something like a ten year relationship with a gas fitter, or maybe it said plumber.
This is from The Standard in 2006.
'She has always maintained theirs was a marriage of convenience. "We got married so that I could work [to get a permit]. I didn't think it would last and David said, before we got married, 'I'm not really in love with you' and I thought that's probably a good thing. Then I think he fell in love with me because he got really mad when we broke up and he behaved like a bitchy queen."
Was she in love with him? "Not really. He was too much of an alleycat. I like people who are devoted to me, men who know I'm the most fabulous thing in the world and they just look at me with adoration. That's how my dad looked at my mom and that's how I expected to be looked at."
When they separated, Angie decided to leave Zowie with his father. "I just didn't want to get into a pissing match with David about custody. I really thought the best thing to keep David alive was to leave my son with him. It was the hardest thing I've ever done." She claims Bowie's drug habit was becoming out of control and believed that giving him the responsibility for their son's upbringing would stabilise him. Logical? Hardly.
Was she not wrestling with herself ? "I would never have deprived David of his son. I kept saying to myself, I've got to do this. I can't escape if I take my child with me, he'll fight me and it will be awful for my son. And I can have another child, it's not a big deal."
I find this extraordinary. It clearly is a very big deal. She looks really upset when she talks about her son. She must have expected to continue a relationship with Duncan after she and Bowie split up? "I saw him until he was about 12 or 13," she says. "He's the one who didn't want to see me any more. He came to New York and stayed with me and it wasn't what he was used to.
"He was used to staying with David in all these big houses and I had a sixroom apartment on Second Avenue over a restaurant. I understand. If you're a child, you want to be comfortable, you want to be where you're used to being. That's how it was."
or is it just me?
