Edie Sedgwick- her life philosophy, her experiences, her beliefs, her hope

[@awakeinthedream1111]

I like what she said when she spoke about those who tasted the bitterness of life and yet still wear flowers, deserve to wear them 🌸

There’s something so timeless about her look. She could walk down the street now and totally fit in.

She defines the manic pixie dream girl.

[@hyperdrivedoll2097]

Fit in? I think she would always stand out.

[@angelica6560]

She reminds me of Marilyn Monroe in certain ways and when she smiles. Listening to Edie speak she sounds completely drugged. To hear her decsribed drugs to "strawberries and peaches" is quite sad when you think of it and how she conducted her life back then. She constantly wanted to escape her reality. It was glamourised because she was rich and arty and trendy and beautiful and lived the party life but this girl was screaming to be recued and was taken advantage of! She has had a really tragic life with her family and she too died so young! Such a bright, vivacious beautiful girl with a sad soul deep down just wanting to be loved and seeking approval from men because of her fucked up childhood and upbringing with her narcissitic father.

[@ijotit5668]

If only she turned to God and gave her life up to him she would've been freed from her tragedy and recovered as a new creation in Christ, too bad she didn't tho.

[@chiquitafeldberg8512]

She could of got saved, but how do you go to a group of outsiders to be saved when they are all trying to be saved themselves? Andy was the only one who knew exactly how to save himself and nobody told him how. People with any intelligence would have figured out what and how Andy was doing it and they could have gone on to do their own shit but they didnt they hung off Andy. So I think it's unfair to blame Andy for her demise. If she understood his art she would have known he was not a film director, she would say, you need a script, you need all these things that wasn't what Andy was about, he was a rule breaker not follower.

I find this woman, even 4 decades after her passing, utterly irresistible. Yes, she is stunningly beautiful...but it is more than that. Her charm and magnetism are hard to describe. When she stares into the camera with those eyes...I’m transfixed...like I’m hypnotized...I can’t describe it.

[@Dogdazetalks]

I agree. When I was in college in the 80s I was obsessed with wanting to be like her. I tried dressing and doing my make up like her. I was fascinated. I left college and moved to new Orleans because. I wanted to live on the date side like her and then I saw the dark side and my obsession dissolved. But at 50 I'm still really facsinated by her.

[@johnd.1849]

Thanks for sharing your personal story Lisa. I’m glad you made it through the “dark side” of life, not everyone does (like Edie). Nico, the famous singer with the early Velvet Underground of Lou Reed, always said that Edie was destined to die young of her vices. I knew nothing about fashion before I started studying Edie and her life...what trendsetter! Faux fur dresses and coats (although Edie’s Leopard coat was real before hunting them was banned), the mini, the “micro-mini” dress, her fabulous rings and rosary necklaces (decades before Madonna would “borrow” that idea). My favorite look of hers...that incredible “Smokey eye” look-how fabulous is that! The lady was a true artist. God, I miss her...and I never even had a chance to meet her. Weird huh?!

[@gymnast2890]

@@Dogdazetalks How was New Orleans in the 80's? I know the dark side must be pretty dark....but I do love & miss it so much! I never was on the dark side, once by a freak accident. Weird things happen there, it definitely has a energy all it's own. I don't remember how I came across Edie, but I was instantly mesmerized, I've read every book & seen every movie about her. Factory Girl was horrible, no one there to say " That didn't happen!"....only Jonathon left & he never was in NYC with her & apparently incapable of correcting her manner of death in the movie. Being a child of the 80's was cool, but I have always been fascinated with the 60's. ❤❤✌✌

[@gymnast2890]

@@johnd.1849 I think she was like a shooting star, shining bright against the dark but meant to burn out. Edie didn't die of her vices. She was married in CA, & took her regular meds given to her by her husband & she had been drinking that night. No illegal substances in her system. It was probably her smoking, previous drug use, & long-term anorexia. Her body just gave out that night. Anorexia takes a terrible toll on the body & she had it & bulimia since puberty. She was & is utterly fascinating. Also, anyone with the mental issues from such complex abuse in such a short time would self-medicate to survive. Peace&love❤❤✌✌

[@davideyskens8720]

Her beauty tragically drew the most beautiful tormented men all lumped together in the FACTORY in the village 60s.. The factory was an incredible place where art and Andy Warhol were redefining pop culture! Edie was genetically loaded for addiction & hedonism recklessness and of course destruction. She represented how beauty and being a beautiful person drew the worst of our human selfishness where sexualized needs become the destroyer of innocence. I think edie really illustrated how beauty & innocence can & often does bring the worst in others! Imagine being thrown into this broken hedonistic group of tormented beautiful people surrounded by art and it's the 60s nyc the village. Your doomed from the start.... A very tragic and sad story Edie Sedgwick was.🙏❤

[@jameszamudio7178]

Has her husband released any book on their short life together? Thanks Daisy.

[@daisychristabel]

He hasn't released a book but if you read her biography Edie: All American Girl, I think that was the one, or 'Girl On Fire, but I'm fairly sure it was the former, he contributes and writes his impressions of her and about his time with her and their marriage and the experience of being with her up until he found her dead, which is heartbreaking, but it's a wonderful biography because so many people whose names today are reknowned, like Ginsberg, Capote, of course Warhol, Gregory Corso, Morrisey, Nico etc. all write contributions, in addition to impressions and input by her family members, childhood friends, college companions, 'friends' later in her life, fellow patients at the hospitals where she was admitted etc. I highly recommend it xxxx

[@johnd.1849]

James Zamudio: I do not believe her husband, Mike Post, ever wrote a book about their life and times together. I’m sure he probably had offers, and undoubtedly has stories that would be fascinating to hear of their short time together. I have ghostwritten some books in my day, and would love to do a final all encompassing biography on her life. She knew so many fascinating people and lived in such turbulent times in America...Edie deserves to have her true story told before those who knew her personally ( many now in their early to mid seventies) pass on. I promise my account of her life would do her justice

She brought heroin to the factory and I doubt Andy appreciated that at all. He was probably angry but didn't get mad at people. I personally think she gave Andy a bad deal. She bought friends and I think she is a blot on his name. Same with Valery she expected too much of Andy also and didn't get him. Nobody seems to understand Andy like Lou Reed.
