The Cosmos, The Cosmetics
T0
Powerful, funny, poetic and true, it is an odyssey of tragicomic adolescent discovery through the subcultures of the UK. Nick grew up in a quiet Hampshire village. From the moment he discovered that orange squash could make fantastic lip tint, he knew he was going to have to search for a place to belong. Beginning his quest in his bathroom, and suffering hair dye experiments and a disintegrating family, Nick finds himself unearthing a myriad of potential scenes. Nick creates a vivid portrait of a young man coming of age as the 20th Century offers a swan song of underground music, culture and outfitting. He has been mono-chromed in Goth clubs, fluorescent in new age field parties and expelled from the pastels of Winchester royalty.
