Edie, who?

Before there was Paris Hilton, there was Edie Sedgwick. You know, Andy Warhol's party animal of a muse with a penchant for funky clothing and cigarettes. Warhol gave her a taste of fame, she was in a few esoteric films, she became the overnight It girl, she got into the wrong scene and she died young. A true example of what fame can do to you.

Are the likes of fallen starlets, such as Lindsay Lohan, the new Edie Sedgwick? Did Edie foreshadow the tabloid-like world of today, where fame has little to do with talent and everything to do with controversy? See for yourself.



The androgynous friendly Edie pixie haircut and super skinny frames continue to make a comeback...
