Factory Girl Obsession.

Watched Factory Girl the other day - the (slightly romanticised) story of Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol's superstar and for a long time, America's 'it' girl. I've become infatuated with the art direction of the movie, Sienna Miller's portrayal of Edie and the general ambiguity of the entire film.

I've also, of course, become obsessed with Edie. Her story, is actually a sad one. Coming from a horrible family of heartbreak and affairs, she ends up dying of a drug overdose despite attempts to come clean. The woman was a superstar though, an 'it' girl before it was cool to be an 'it' girl. And beautiful, she was beautiful.
