weird words

Last night I watched a television/radio interview with Frances Schoenberger, a German woman who came from humble beginnings and went on to become "Germany’s first lady in Hollywood". In her job as a journalist she met many of the people who we perceive as celebrities and some of them are now her friends. In the interview she came across as very down-to-earth, warm and funny. I've read similar praise for her autobiography elsewhere.

Back in the wild days of the 70s, she was supposed to interview David Bowie and was waiting for him to turn up in his hotel room after a show. When he finally came in, she was already rather tired, but pleasantly surprised to see him without make-up, but in Birkenstocks. Apparently, he decided he liked her, too, so instead of the interview, they just sat on the sofa, drank lots of cognac, chatted and were generally being very silly. All the other journalists who were waiting outside and kept knocking on the door were sent away. There was some cocaine, too, and apparently he is a very good kisser. She declined to have sex with him though, because she was in a relationship at that time.

I'm impressed. And a bit disappointed, too. That's a man with serious sex appeal. Regardless of Bowie's star status, a situation like that might leave me in a bit of conflict. It's that one question: Would you or wouldn't you?
