#SeptemBowie #day18 #JeanGenie Playing catch up on challenges.This is the first book that comes to mind when I hear this song.Set in the mid 60s it's about the rivalry between two gangs of young boys, the Greasers & the Socs.When that rivalry moves into bloodshed and murder, Ponyboy & Johnny, both Greasers, go on the run with the help of Dally, another Greaser. It's a sad book with a lot of death & loss, but also loyalty & hope. And lots of denim!

JazzFeathers As a kid, l loved both the book and the film 7y
AlaMich I named my cat Sodapop as a kid. Don't think I didn't get a lot of strange looks. Loved Rob Lowe!! ❤️❤️ 7y

As a fan of Project Runway, I love Tim Gunn's gentlemanly ways. I just knew that he would have something to say about jeans! "The basic denim wardrobe requires two fabulous pairs, one for dressing up and one for running around. If you wear jeans every day, of course, your collection should be larger. However, we feel that even the most ardent denim lover does not need more than ten pairs." #septembowie #jeangenie

Bowie is the Reading Genie in his blue jeans on this ALA poster. Too bad he's reading Dostoevsky and not Jean Genet!

Leniverse @Cinfhen I love him. He's despicable and unlikable in the best possible way. 😆 7y

I love Anderson Cooper. I used to watch him on Channel One in homeroom in high school!

His mother, #JeanGenie Gloria Vanderbilt, has had a fascinating life. I thought this was a great audioread.

#SeptemBowie

DivineDiana I also listened to the audio. It was fascinating! So nice to have it read by this famous mother and son. 7y
britt_brooke I remember him from Channel One, too! 7y
