♥ 31 Notes / Sat Apr 14th, 2012 ≡ reblogEdie on one level was an unparalleled exhibitionist, but on another level she was very shy. I think the thing about Edie, her antic quality had a lot to do with her charm. She would go to any length to please. She needed to be accepted really on a visceral level, not the way most of us need to be accepted — kind of casually.

♥ 141 Notes / Thu Apr 12th, 2012 ≡ reblogIn 1965, Andy Warhol spotted her dancing, doing what a friend, Chuck Wein, described as a ‘sort of ballet-like rock ‘n’ roll’ and he immediately recognised her energy, her peculiar, offbeat starry quality. The art critic Richard Dorment believes that when Warhol dubbed her a superstar it was more than just a whim. He knew what he was doing. She was ‘Warhol’s answer to Marilyn Monroe- Her gaiety and charm, her dumb-blonde chatter, infectious laugh and self-deprecating clowning combined sensuality with a quality very close to innocence.’ And, like Monroe, she was ‘frighteningly vulnerable, a borderline psychotic’. And so, fatefully, Warhol invited Edie to the Factory, his Manhattan studio, and she became the first of his superstars.
