i wish we had shots from that exhibit

I just finished her biography...really good read with a fair amount of pictures. Her life was so glamourous yet tragic....I find her really intriguing. I will def go see the movie, but I'm not sure it will do Edie justice

Was that Edie: An American Biography
by Jean Stein and George plimpton?



Because I've been thinking of getting that book, but I'm always a bit wary of biographies (because some of them are biased or factually wrong e.t.c)

[longlegsue]

Yup, that was the one!

That's where I had my celeb spotting of Sienna and Jude! Of course, there were no paparazzi when I saw them, but they probably went back another time or something. The pictures were displayed in a fashion and photography bookstore called Gallagher's. They were really cool photos, but pretty expensive. I had seen a fair share of them before.

You really should get it, it's amazing-it's also (unintentionally) funny in parts. Did anyone read the bit when Edie's flat caught fire and she told one of her friends she did it baking a sweet potato in the oven (when she actually managed to fall asleep with candles alight). She was taking care of Bob Dylan's cat and he died in the fire, so someone said, "The cat died and Edie didn't. The cat was called Smoke and he went up in Smoke".Then she had to go into hospital and the first thing she asked for was her makeup.

Great pics too.

i am such a fan of bios and some are poorly written with exaggeration or so dry and boring, they put you to sleep- this is neither
it is true to the subject, fairly written, juicy, entertaining and sad at times.
did any of y'all ever see sofia coppola's first film- a short- called "lick the star"?
the glammy juniour high girl who is one of the main parts carries this bio around with her and reads it...i love that sofia put that in there bc it was such a specific detail and this girl would be the type to be waaayy into edie and the whole mystique...just like i was *blush* heehee...

Yeah.I saw that once on Bravo a long time ago.I stopped on it and watched it just because that book caught my eye.I am Edie obsessed.
