The SECRET LIFE of Amanda Lear
She's been called everything from the Renee Richards of Rock to Miss Before and After Science of 1984. And although she's sold millions of albums in Europe and is that country's reigning white disco queen, North Americans probably know Amanda Lear best as the cover girl on Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure album or as the is-she-or-isn't-she host (ess) of David Bowie's 1973 Nineteen-Eighty Floor Show television special.

She's been called everything from the Renee Richards of Rock to Miss Before and After Science of 1984. And although she's sold millions of albums in Europe and is that country's reigning white disco queen, North Americans probably know Amanda Lear best as the cover girl on Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure album or as the is-she-or-isn't-she host (ess) of David Bowie's 1973 Nineteen-Eighty Floor Show television special.
In the interim between then and now, she's recorded two albums (/ Am A Photograph and Sweet Revenge), the second of which has recently been released domestically. A third, Never Trust A Pretty Face, can be expected shortly.
Still, it's always been Amanda's dubious sexual history which has captured the imagination of most people so, when the man herself came to town as part of a promotional tour, I decided to clear up the mystery once and for all.
The reader is invited to draw his or her own conclusions.
