Watch "Ciao! Manhattan" on DVD today.

Used to be a pretty close friend of L.M. Kit Carson who was Edie Sedgwick's one time boyfriend and got lots of stories about their time together. She plays Susan Superstar in this film, but it's pretty clear she's playing herself.

Kit and others told me how she was taken advantage of by Andy Warhol and all the others, for her money and her celebrity status. I have to admit being obsessed with Warhol and his work, but I imagine it was just like Crispin Glover as Andy in Oliver Stone's "The Doors" when Kyle MacLachlan's Ray Manzarek tells Val Kilmer's Jim Morrison, "Man, let's get out of here, these people are vampires."

Still, there was something interesting about, "Ciao! Manhattan," it had a good look, the improvisational quality about it was kinda dreamy and Edie has amazing tits that even when she was on her back they still stood up. She was so beautiful.

A huge sadness fell on me after it was over.
