Edie Sedgwick #1

[TheKiwi]

There's a new song that mentions Edie. It's called "Lust In The Movies" by The Long Blondes. Here are the lyrics:

A svelte young man, eighteen lovers to his name.
Well if the rumours are true then eighteen lovers came crawling back again.
I don't feel well.
I've got this rattling in my chest.
My doctor said that I should give it up because I'm clinically obsessed.

I know you think you're in the movies.
You're in the movies that don't wanna know me.
Well I know all about fear and desire, I know all about lust et cetera.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karina, Arlene Dahl.
Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karina, Arlene Dahl.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.

A sweet young girl, dressed to the nines in Cacharel.
Oh, under the weather my heels click together, and following her is hell.
I feel quite ill.
I've got this rattling in my chest.
My doctor said that I should give it up, I need to get some rest.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karina, Arlene Dahl.
Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karina, Arlene Dahl.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.

So never, neve, never try to tell me it's a pleasure being alone.
All I have here with me are the records and the books that I own.

Nag, nag, nag.
Nag, nag, nag.
Nag, nag, nag.
Nag, nag, nag.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karina, Arlene Dahl.
Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karina, Arlene Dahl.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart

I came across this quote just now and I immediately thought of Edie. Don't you think it sounds like her?
"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars... "
~ jack kerouac

Theres another song about Edie (but in french)

Véronica Antico - Edie S

C'est une déesse
Au regard abyssin
On peut lire Edie S
Tatoué sur un sein…
Cet archange du glamour
En nylon transparent
Dit que la vie, l'amour,
N'doivent pas durer longtemps…
C'est Edie S
C'est Edie S, Edie S

Elle porte des bracelets
Des médailles qui scintillent
Petite fille haut perchée
Sur ses talons-aiguilles…
Une main sur la hanche
Et les yeux au plafond
Cette unique façon
De tourner les talons
C'est Edie S
C'est Edie S, Edie S
C'est Edie S
Est-c'que la vie ne vaut rien, Edie?
Est-c'que rien ne vaut la vie ?

Les sourcils anthracites
Edie danse le Segdwick
Bel oiseau de passage
Des palaces et des vernissages
Edie aime la nuit
Les rock-stars qui s'ennuient
Toutes ces amours de ien
Autour de ses reins…
C'est Edie S
C'est Edie S, Edie S
C'est Edie S
Est-c'que la vie ne vaut rien, Edie?
Est-c'que rien ne vaut la vie ?

Edie héroine
Du fond d'une limousine
Elle essaie des mélanges
LSD poudre d'ange
Et petit à petit
Petit enfant fragile
Edie S s'expédie
Tout droit au paradis
C'est Edie
C'est Edie S, Edie S
C'est Edie S
Est-c'que la vie ne vaut rien, Edie?
Est-c'que rien ne vaut la vie ?
C'est Edie S

Edie s'en fout
Edie se fout de tout

^^this has been written several times in this thread.

I don´t know about anyone else of the "old" people reading/writing in this thread, but I´m getting a little bored by this thread. there´s nothing new to discover anymore.
there is only new people writing things/posting pics that we have all read/seen and discussed many times.

all you newer persons should go through the whole thread before writing something, there is so so much info about our wonderful Edie, that you will learn alot!

anyway, can anyone translate Veronica Antico´s Edie S?

I agree about the bored bit. There really isn't that much new being discussed. But I have a feeling this will change when the "Girl on Fire" documentary is released, don't you think? With new material comes new discussion, just how when the two recent Edie books were released, there was so much discussion.

that´s true!
oh I hope it will be released soon!

 

[ediesedgwick]

ive seen it and IMO it was nothing special. it was about 15 minutes long with a courtney love song playing in the background, she just talked a bit about being raped by someone at a party who got her drunk and it was very, very depressing.

we´re not talking about the same movie here... what you mean, is the ciao manhattan tapes, which used to be on a website called girl on fire.

the girl on fire movie, that we are talking about, is a documentary about Edie that hasn´t been finished yet.
it´s David Weisman and Melissa Painter that are making this documentary, the same people who made the book Edie: Girl On Fire, which was released in the end of last year.

Yeah i agree with you, i'm pretty new here myself, but i feel that all the lates pics that have been posted here are reposts and it's a bit sad that there's nothing new to talk about but i hope we will get some new stuff to talk about soon.

But i can kinda understand why there are so many reposts and stuff, since it's much nicer to be able to respond and comment when there's a disscusion and not just read what other ppl have written

Anyway, i'm reading my edie book again, i just love to read about her life

 

[loonaka]

can't wait to see the David Weisman and Melissa Painter film, hope it's good

Oh, my bad. I did see the Ciao Manhattan tapes on DVD, it was labelled "Girl On Fire"

Well, what do you expect? There is only so many pictures and stuff to discuss about someone who died almost 40 years ago. And I don't know if anyone really wants to go through all 194 pages of this thread. Sorry, I hope I don't sound rude.

 

[babydoll1125]

Well, i think she was just saying that it's annoying when people ask questions about things that have already been discussed earlier in the thread or repost things that have been posted already more than once. And 194 pages isn't really that much and there's so much to read and look at it will go by very fast.

I am SO excited about the documentary! But what ever happened to girlonfire.com releasing new pictures and video clips and news every week?

 

[TheKiwi]

Yeah, good question! I know they must have tons of photos that haven't been released yet. I hope they do that!

I agree, 194+ pages is not practical to ask of people.

if you´re really interested in knowing things about Edie, I don´t think it´s such a big deal.
I went through all the pages that was here when I discovered this thread.

did you even know that her real niece, writing in here as Liberty Bell, has been writing down her own experiences of Edie, posting her own private pictures of her?
things like that makes it really worth going through all pages...

 

[kissmesweet]

did you even know that her real niece, writing in here as Liberty Bell,

Wow, I'm going to do a 'search' on this page to find her posts!

Of course I know, and I personally have gone through the entire thread. I'm not talking about myself here though, I'm talking about others - not everyone has the time to go through that many pages, whether or not it's a big amount to you. I'm not trying to fight with you at all, I just feel for other Edie fans who have busy lives that get lashings for posting something that's already been seen... they're trying to share something with other fans, so I think it's generous of them rather than "annoying" to make sure we've seen it.

Also, for someone who HAS gone through the entire thread, it's still hard to remember everything that's been posted so it's nice to be reminded of things and rediscover them. Edie stuff is going to get reposted all the time, not just at TFS, everywhere, so the best thing is just to enjoy it or ignore it. These are my feelings anyway, and I say these things because I don't want anyone to feel unwelcome or unappreciated in this most fabulous thread, so I hope you're not offended.

You said it just perfectly, I couldn't agree more.

And by the way, that Jack Kerouac quote does in fact really remind me of Edie, I have it written everywhere, so it's really strange you chose to post it, julesrules815. I love it
