Edie Sedgwick

[odelay]

and some from edie_sedgwick at livejournal (awesome community!)






it's so strange that she actually looked more clean-cut the closer she got to death and the more drug addicted she was.

Thanks to everyone for the really lovely pictures of lovely Edie!! i recently read about Audrey Hepburn's style, that what made her such a style icon was the fact that she stuck to what worked for her, she found what she liked and stayed with it. I agree with that and i think the same pretty much goes for edie, and i think that's why we can call her a style icon now.

And that's what differentiates them from the fashion-victim stars of today imo!! Alot of women today have good style, make good fashion choices etc. but i think few of them will reach the same iconic status as these ladies ^

Even though I would probably find it hard to always wear the same style... hehe. But i admire the women who did, and became immortal for it like EDIE!

Apparently he’s threatened to sue the makers of Sienna’s new film ‘factory girl’ if they imply that he had an affair with Eddie

Gosh, you can tell who Madonna was inspired by in the beginning of her career...

I believe Bob Dylan was so taken by Edie ,he's still inspired by her and he'll never forget her.And you've got to hand it to Edie because Bob Dylan is just the coolest of the cool and possibly[in my opinion definetly]the best songwriter EVER and his best songs were inspired by her.He loves her soooo much he will not discuss her and claims to hardly know her-met her once-yea right!She dated his best friend for a while.I think he loved her but couldn't keep up with her,she was so strong but yet so vulnerable and he couldn't save her,so he took some of her shadow for himself and ran and now is haunted by her memory so he gets either very angry when she comes up or claims to have forgotten.
I think they would've been so great to look at together-
same with Edie and Brian Jones.You know she was involved in a jealous love triangle -Edie,Dylan and Jones.So FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hollywood is just going IT-GIRL CRAZY-now I've heard Katie Holmes is set to play Ms.Edie in a movie,go figure.I think none of these movies will be made because absolutely NOONE CAN PLAY Edie,yes!She's THAT special.And they just keep throwing names out there like they have always done.I don't even think the Sienna movie will be done,we'll see.
Back on topic---Edie looked her best to me with her lighter hair,but that last shot in Caio where she walks to the camera is so breathtaking and beautiful,hauntingly sad and gorgeous....whoosh.I guess people are so taken with her because she really looked like a doll brought to life.I've stayed at the Chelsea and Stanley Bard was very disturbed acting when I brought up her name,he'd talk about any other resident but her-even Sid and Nancy.Whoever hasn't read her book should and you should also read any other factory books you can find to clearly get a sense of who she was.
