EDITH’S SHOPPING BAG POSTCARD.
I grew up in California and as an 80s teenager, I was fascinated with the celebrities created by Andy Warhol and John Waters. I wrote a fan letter to Edith Massey and she wrote me back a sweet letter on blue stationary with a picture of Marlene Deitrich on it. She wrote in a very deliberate hand with lots of curly cued letters…sadly I lost the letter in my move from San Francisco to New York, but I do still have this postcard she sent me, signed on the back, “Love, Edie”.
Looking back on the time that has passed, it’s kind of surreal that I have made Baltimore my home now for almost ten years. Like New York and San Francisco, it has become a city that I will always call home.
