do you go to Chicago that much? if so which area's your favorite?

i really genuinely hate chicago, i hate the traffic, i hate the air, i hate the way it stinks of shit, i hate the rude fucks. i'll do anything in my power to avoid chicago, the entire city gives me a headache. the only thing i like are the buildings and brick but you can go to north riverside for the same effect. fuck chicago and fuck the bean.

Candy Darling, November 24, 1944 – March 21, 1974.

“Candy was very pretty. There was something very poignant about Candy as she embraced the imagined life of an actress. She had Kim Novak’s looks and was ahead of her time. Tragically she didn’t live long enough to see the time she was ahead of. A pioneer without a frontier as Andy (Warhol) would have said.”

/ Patti Smith on Candy Darling in her book Just Kids (2010) /

To commemorate Trans Visibility Day (31 March 2025), a portrait of haunting transgender Warhol Superstar (and the world's biggest Kim Novak fan) Candy Darling (24 November 1944 - 21 March 1974) by James Hamilton. For anyone interested in Darling’s story, Cynthia Carr’s 2024 biograph Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar is required reading.
