Factory Girl







I'm reading Edie, American Girl right now.
So who comes to mind for style icons?
None other than Edie Sedgwick.
Was it her short cropped blonde hair and twiggy eyes?
Was it her penchant for wearing black nylons and fur coats?
Was it the long earrings, cigarettes, smoky eyes and leopard print?
I think it was her magnetic personality which translated through photos
that caught peoples attention.
She was doing something that no one else had done before.
Of course such a delicate soul would become enraptured with drugs and eventually ruin oneself.
Too bad, but she had a great burn out (minus that film Ciao! Manhattan)
