Style Icon: Andy Warhol - Andy you’re a star

Andy you’re a star.

Yeah it’s a wonderful song by The Killers. And another brilliant man, Andy Warhol, with whom I’ve completely found myself fixated upon in the last few days (about 7 but who‘s counting). Granted, yes I’m an odd bird (an eccentric myself), so my fascination with unique characters never really dissipates , does it? I’ve always loved and admired his work, but it wasn’t really that I was curious to know more about the man. About a week ago during my hiatus from the internet I was privileged to be able to watch a ton of movies. One of which, had happened to be a re-watching of Factory Girl. This portrayal of Andy (Guy Pearce) made me WANT/NEED TO KNOW MORE. And Sienna Miller is quite lovely as Edie, I thought she completely captured her visually. (*Almost so much, I maybe thinking of a new color for this lovely haircut of mine.) This new fixation, I couldn’t have better timed it myself if I tried. See the De Young museum in SF is hosting an exhibition of Andy Warhol and again wonderful timing, cause it started last weekend. Of course, I will be attending as soon as I have a day off. Which shouldn’t be long. Anyway here’s some of Andy’s brilliance…
