S4 Ep10: The Last Bohemians Live at Tate Lates: Hilma af Klint with Lily Cole and Amrita Dhallu

An audio addendum to our LA season this year, The Last Bohemians hopped over to Santa Fé to meet the one and only Julia Cameron. Our series is dedicated to creative women who've lived their lives outside the norm. Julia has spent hers guiding others, with her creativity manual The Artist's Way. Very sadly, Julia had just lost her beloved dog when we arrived one afternoon, but she soldiered on. It's a whistlestop tour through her early days, breaking into the boys club of 1970s journalism, through her wild thirties in Hollywood married to Martin Scorsese, and eventually how she turned her life around by relocating to Georgia O'Keefe country, with its endlessly inspiring landscapes, and discussing addiction and recovery, harnessing the creativity spirit, sexism and psychic powers, how she helped to write Taxi Driver, her friendship with Eve Babitz and much more.

French fashion disruptor Michéle Lamy is known as the wife of designer Rick Owens but she's is a chameleonic creative in her own right, forever staging art happenings and musical collaborations around the world, as well as co-designing the furniture for the Rick Owens line. She’s so in-demand that she’s tricky to track down: we did this interview partly in London, at Claridges, and partly at the Chateau Marmont in LA, where Michéle lived until the early 2000s. In those days, she was better known as the owner of cult Hollywood nightspot Les Deux Cafe, where she performed smoky jazz numbers in her thick drawl. Now Michéle is more nomadic, attracting beautiful freaks wherever she goes. A gothic style icon, her signature look is ink-dipped fingers, a line of kohl on her forehead and a cigarette always in her hand. Listen out for her many bangles too, which clank as she speaks about her style awakening in the Moroccan desert, why she loves collaboration and much more.

Penny Slinger is the British feminist surrealist whose work in the 1960s and 70s was groundbreaking – but then she disappeared. Now living in Los Angeles, she talks to The Last Bohemians about her incredible life: being pals with Lee Miller, living in a turret with pet falcons, finding her way in a male-dominated art world, how tantra revitalised her life and work, performing a real-life sex scene in the only feature film directed by a woman in the 1970s, sensual and sexual liberation – and why desire doesn't diminish with age. She just hopes she lives to see her first retrospective.

The Last Bohemians LA, supported by Audio-Technica, meets the “hyena of performance art”, whose transgressive spectacles of New Wave theatre, experimental noise, elaborate and crude costumes, chaotic rituals, gory props like pig heads and blood – lots of blood – built a cult following in the 1980s LA punk scene and predated Lady Gaga’s meat dress by decades

Lynn Castle was one of the first women in Hollywood to cut men’s hair and known as the first lady barber of LA – which she immortalised in her song 'The Lady Barber' with Nancy Sinatra producer Lee Hazlewood. Little is known about Lynn today but back in the acid-drenched 60s she hung out with movers and shakers of the era like Jim Morrison, the Byrds, Sonny Bono and Neil Young (and trimmed their long locks). In this episode of The Last Bohemians: LA, supported by Audio-Technica, she discusses her 'friendship' with Elvis, her series of almost-famous moments with Bob Dylan and the Stones, her positive outlook and life, and unexpectedly digs out letters from an old flame...
