Suggested by Bobby Bon Bon, I’m reading Cynthia Carr’s meticulously researched biography of Candy Darling - Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar. It’s riveting. Here are Jackie Curtis, Holly Woodlawn and Candy Darling, photographed by Richard Avedon, Vogue June 1972 - ThreadSky

Candy was so beautiful. Seem almost fragile there between Jackie and Holly, like a rose between two thorns.

thanks for the heads up on this jon; i recommend holly woodlawn's autobiography "a low life in high heels", if you haven't already read it. very entertaining!

I loved that book--finally a (somewhat) complete picture of someone who was so famous yet so little known. Would have been utterly impossible to write without access to Jeremiah Newton and his archive, and who died right before it was published.

Here is some footage of Paul Ambrose, who is a featured source for many of the stories (Paul is the sassy redhead) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKp_JcNOy0Y&t=27s
