1998
My Thesis in Anthropology is pre-approved. Problem is, a year of on-site experience is required in order to obtain my Ph.D. and I'm still on a wheelchair. I drop everything and play housewife for a while. That could not last. I get into Website design and marketing.
April 1982
I decide to move to the USA. Life starts here. Miami, Florida, where my beloved sister is living. Best thing she ever did to me was to stick me in front of the TV stating "I'm not translating anymore" and threw a dictionary on my lap. I read it from A to Z and know more archaic and totally useless words than natives.

Alexandre Jardel Born on 16/12/1973 BIOBBLE Founder |
1981
Among my childhood memories, the one that stands out most is a journey
to Centre and North America, with my brother Etienne and my father. 20
years later as I write these lines, visions of this period are still
strikingly clear. The mysteries of the pyramids and of Inca cities, as
well as the gigantism of America and the Statue of Liberty, which
didn't enjoy the same reputation as it has today, amazed my young eyes.
1995
I meet Marie-Laure and work as a trainee at Challenger's In the Events
Department of this Marketing Communication Agency. 3 months later, I'm
promoted to Director.
At the time, I also organize "Les Soirées des Templiers" – a French
regularly-held one-night festival with themed costume parties, role
playing and set decor.

David Bowie Born on 8/1/1947 Singer |
1970
Later in 1970, Bowie releases his third album, "The Man Who Sold the World", replacing the acoustic guitar sound of the previous album with the heavy rock backing provided by Mick Ronson, who would be a major collaborator through to 1973. The title track provides a hit for UK pop singer Lulu and will be performed by many groups over the years, including Nirvana. The cover of the first release of this album, on which Bowie is seen posing in a dress, is an early sign of his interest in exploiting his androgynous appearance.
He marries his first wife Angela on 19 March 1970 at Bromley Registry Office in Beckenham Lane, Kent, England. She permanently takes his adopted last name.
1959 - 1962
Bowie's interest in music is sparked at the age of nine when his father introduces him to records by Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. His mother gives him a plastic saxophone for Christmas in 1959. Bowie learns how to play a real saxophone and forms a band in 1962, the Kon-rads. He then plays with various blues groups and releases his first record the single "Liza Jane", with the King Bees in 1964.
