Andy Warhols: Poor Little Rich Girl with Edie Sedgwick




To all the party girls and boys out there: 
who has not sometimes a hangover from the night before..hardly you are torturing out of bed and finally you begin to prepare for the next party?! That was almost everydays live of 60s tragic party legend and New York it girl Edie Sedgwick, perfectly put on film by artist Andy Warhol.
Pool Little Rich Girl: 
The film takes place in Edie's own apartment. Andy shot two rolls (approx. 70 mins) of Edie as she lay on her bed, talked on the phone and walked around her room. 
The first 33 minutes of the film are completely out of focus as Edie wakes up, orders coffee and orange juice, smokes cigarettes does her excercises, takes pills and puts on make up, all done in silence, except for the background music of an Everly Brothers album. The rest is in perfect quality when Edie is finishing her make up, showing off her clothes and describing to her best gay friend Chuck Wein about last nights dream, the next party, what she is thinking about millionairs, men who are after her, eating, shopping and drug behavior and how she had spent her entire inheritance in six month. 


Here it is part 6 of 7. But the whole film can be found on youtube. So much fun watching it, maybe while you are also looking for an evening party outfit or fix your make up? 
But do it as fabulous as Edie!
