CANDY DARLING'S MAKE-UP TIPS

FROM TODAY'S NY TIMES:

From the Archives, a Portrait of a Pop-Art Muse By COLIN MOYNIHAN

She was baptized James Lawrence Slattery in 1944 but reinvented herself as Candy Darling in the late 1960s after leaving suburban Long Island for the streets of the West Village, a place in the back room at Max’s Kansas City and a role as muse.

A sketch by Candy Darling is among the materials that Jeremiah Newton has assembled.



She hung out with artists like Andy Warhol and crossed paths with musicians like David Bowie. The filmmaker Paul Morrissey put her in two of his movies. Lou Reed wrote the Velvet Underground song “Candy Says” with her in mind and included a verse about her in his “Walk on the Wild Side.”

“She was so beautiful and so feminine that people treated her with respect and some awe,” he said. Mr. Newton was never romantically involved with Candy Darling, he said, but she became an important friend and mentor.
