Often associated with Andy Warhol, the great American artist, for being one of his greatest and most memorable Muses, 1965′s Girl of the Year

..Edie Sedgwick…

 Artist – Socialite – Actress – Model

With a history as rocky as the Himalayan mountains, Edie’s struggles in life were on a very personal level – although often publicised.  This eventually led to many people casting her out, ostracizing and criticizing her.  How lonesome that must have been.  And how hard she tried to overcome these difficulties which with she came face to face.

I have set  Edie as an Icon for her love and zest of life and her power to live in the moment.  Her ability to let go of rules and stipulations and enjoy spontaneity at it’s finest.  To know no boundaries and to just Be.  I envy her as I often find my self encircled by worries or doubts or consequences.  I am saddened that, like so many others’, her time here on Earth was cut short.  There are many qualities of Edie that I strongly admire and I believe a great many would benefit from her if only they knew more about the girl behind the pictures and films.

And so here’s to you, Ms. Sedwick, may your memory live on and may many more individuals find inspiration in your story.

A quote from the movie Factory Girl (and my personal email signature):

She leaves only good wishes behind. ~Edie Sedwick
