[preshtime]

I think that Candy looks like Patricia Hearst in this clip.

[copodeazucar]

[deathbypowerglove]

See what I never really see is this "transgender"

If you don't have a dick, your a girl...or unfortunate boy.

You wanna cross dress, add things or remove em....at least say "I'm a boy with boobs," or "girl with a penis"

I support that kinda thing if it makes the person happy.

But be honest, your not a girl. or not a boy.

Because adding/removing doesn't change the fact that your name is Steven and you can't have your own baby

[GallifreyanTARDIS]

@deathbypowerglove You have a very sad outlook on life, my dear. I see Candy as a woman, Candy saw herself as a woman and so did many, many other people. I'm sorry that you can't. You could never imagine the pain and confusion that comes with feeling like you're a man trapped in a woman's body, or a woman trapped in a man's and then how wonderful it feels to express your true self.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@GallifreyanTARDIS Candy did see herself as a woman, but the definitions of words cannot be altered based on people's personal feelings or interpretations of those words. A person can also feel younger or older, or relate to another ethnicity, but these things can't be changed any more than gender can. I respect the right of people to regard themselves however they want, but expecting others to adopt their personal outlooks is naive. Definitions of reality exist for a reason.

[forces45]

candy was so buty and sexy she or he at that stage,have not important i will like so much to have a friend like this,peace

[lipsdaz]

A true beauty! Too bad she died too young! 

[jrjrloreto]

oh candy how i love you

[exeuroweenie]

She vaguely reminds me of Nancy Spungen.She was equally quick witted,despite what you may have heard.Candy Darling could have written advice columns well.

[fancynot]

loves that repeating candy love ! so i stole...

[Overgrow89]

Wow she does look alot like Nancy!

[marly100]

Maybe she did, but she looked A LOT better than Nancy and wasn't as annoying. "SSIIIIIIIIIDDDDD!!!!"

[ritter89]

Yeah, it's almost freakish how much she looked like Candy. I don't find Candy particularly convincing, however. Something about her eyes (most transgenders, in fact) gives away gender, regardless of hormones, plastic surgery or innate femininity.

[marly100]

What the fuck are you talking about?! Candy's eyes are extremly feminine and absolutely say "I am a beautiful woman!" Her whole presence screamed female, regardless of her birth anatomy. If you don't see that, than you're a fucking moron. :)

[ritter89]

@marly100 What's with all the ignorant psychos on youtube? You all want to be dictators. I'm tired of receiving rambling and incoherent messages from random nutcases, simply b/c I don't agree with them. No, she didn't look all that convincing and I'm not the only one who feels this way. Her bone structure, hands, feet and eyes were dead giveaways to anyone w/ a discerning eye. Hormones don't compensate for genetics, which is why I can spot a transsexual from a mile away.

[marly100]

First of all, not all transsexuals have a "distinct" look, second of all, there are many ciswomen (that means women born genetically female) who look more manly than Candy herself, for instance, Valerie Solanas and final, instead of looking at bone structure of transwomen, try validating them becuase many of them deserve validation.

TOP CLASS

all the best

[kayaburning]

Damn your beautiful!!!

[MegaMickyboy]

wow you are very sexy.xxxxxxxx

[MarxBakuninMe]

Don't get your hopes up . . .

[sweatizzle]

i think warhol associated himself with these marginalised types of women to get over the hurt that Edie had caused, from one extreme of beauty, to another

[Andrewsmate]

I think Warhol was a twat. The factory imagery looks so glam and amazing and left a great legacy, but the truth was, it was filled with broken people, Edies life was horrendous...Andy became rich from it.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Those people were broken because society treated them as freakish outcasts, which Andy did not. He allowed them an environment that supported their individuality, where they could express themselves among others like them. Drugs being rampant at the Factory ruined many, but that was the time period and the decadence of the scene, not Andy himself. Saying "Andy became rich from it" ignores the fact that it was quid pro quo. The Superstars just didn't benefit in ways that were monetary.

[Andrewsmate]

Point taken....and he did create an interesting and safe enviroment; he also payed many of their wages, and very miserly at that. Let's not forget - he was a business man with a very shrewd nature...which ultimately made him very, very rich.. while most of the factory remained penniless, dependent and broken.

[andreandeahhh]

brilliant

[desariec]

rupaul makes a beautiful woman too!

[kabardinkasf]

I've never, ever heard of another transwoman getting leukemia from hormones. That's an urban myth. There is some possibility of getting breast tumors, liver damage or blood clots from incorrect hormone use, but I've never heard of anyone getting a blood disease. She had leukemia but actually died of pneumonia.

[gatohombre072]

it's a HE

disgusting

[Candyfan993]

Not half as disgusting as how bigoted you are, you piece of shit.

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

Fuck off, narrow-minded imbecile.

[ImmortalChaos]

She's so beautiful, like old glam beautiful. Those eyes

[tahrahNYC]

This video is gorge! Thanks for posting. She was

a trail blazer. Check out Antony and The Johnsons for lou reed updated.

[MinkStoler]

I'm drooling. She's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FABULOUS!

[kelperhelper09]

I Want Candy!

[marycigarettes]

you can see where the young lou reed got his style...thanks for posting this for us all to see

[pjdaft]

Such a sad ending to her short life. RIP Candy.

[NinetyAteTimes]

Warhol was a hack, all he did for art was create a whole new aspect of printable mediums and the only reason Candy made it as far as she did (as little as it was) was because she was so good looking. It had very little to do with her talent, as in the case of 90% of women in the limelight, media, mainstream and public eye. As long as you look good to the brain washed public who gives a shit what you can contribute on more than just physical level.

[DBCrowns]

Well doesn't that still hold true by todays public, media standards????

[kabardinkasf]

I disagree. Candy was an incredible wit... way beyond any of the other Warhol so-called 'superstars.' Yes, she was good looking, but she also had real style and a sense of wryness that only slightly comes out in some of the ways she was used in films. People who knew her described her as magical, not just because of how she 'passed' or looked, but because of her personality and clever way of expressing herself and striking presence. That goes way beyond looks.

[danniet31]

Luv the photo shoot .. awesome ... two thumb up on the facial ... totally awesome !!!!

[InTheWoods20]

thats candy darling? the girl that dude potrayed in "i shot andy warhol"?

[BernardProfitendieu]

yes --- the reason the "dude" portrayed the girl was that Candy Darling is a guy ... get it now??

[TheGodMar]

Candy was an MTF transsexual.

[BernardProfitendieu]

Candy was a transvestite who took hormones (never had the operation)

[inflatablewhores]

I don't see how your comment got two points, because you don't need to have the operation to be considered a transsexual. The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual basically says that transsexualism and Gender Identity Disorder are the same thing, and you don't need to have had surgery to be diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder. Candy was a pre-op MTF transsexual, thank you very much. :o)

[BernardProfitendieu]

Can't be pre-op if there's no "op" in your future.

Try thinking for yourself in the future instead of consulting manuals.

Uneducated, vulgar and running to consult manuals is no way to go through life, dearie

thank YOU very much!

End of conversation.

[inflatablewhores]

Try not being an ignorant fuck. Because I'm sure you're better educated than a fucking doctor, retard. Using words whose definitions you are clearly unfamiliar with is no way to go through life... dearie.

[WafffleHouse]

you should change your tag to DEflatablewhores coz that Frenchie really took U down!

your comment was pretty stoooPid... but he ShUT u DOwN wiT StyLE ... ahahahahahahaha!

... rolled you up and threw you in the fucking garbage with the rest of the trash and flies all around you --- ahahaha!

[inflatablewhores]

Oh, what are you, his fuck hole? Do you think it bothers me some retard on the internet got his panties in a twist because he refuses to learn something and can't accept it with grace? Please. Oh, and alternating caps with lower-case letters, what are you 13? I provided him with proof his comment was wrong and his got a bug in his prolapsed anus about it, big deal.

[WafffleHouse]

yup! he owned you! hahaha

and you're still burning about it ObVIousLY!!

only a complete moron would respond after he said 'end of conversation' cuz all he hass to do is ignore you after that to make you look even extra stoooPid if you respond ... and ... IT WORKED!

hahahah - what a dimwit you must be!!

ahahahaha!

[WafffleHouse]

"Uneducated, vulgar and running to consult manuals is no way to go through life, dearie"

he really nailed you!! ahahahaha!

[inflatablewhores]

Oh, you must be a sock puppet of his to keep obsessing about it. I can understand why he'd be mad because I provided actual proof to dispute his bullshit claims, what I don't understand is why you care so much that I made Frenchy look like an ignorant fool. Seriously, you must be an extra account he created just for these occasions, and I don't waste my time talking to sock puppets.

[HeavensToMurgatroid9]

Candy is a Darling ... but you sound like a delusional skank!

(just an opinion from a passerby)

[samthor]

Pre-op is a pretty typical term in the GLBT community. I know lots of trannys, andros, and gender queers that use the term "pre-op".

[TheGodMar]

Candy was a transwoman.

[TRAVISJAMES03]

Work it, girl! WORK IT!

[freestuffffff]

Candy succumbed to leukemia and pneumonia on March 21, 1974, aged about 29; she died at the Columbus Hospital division of the Cabrini Health Center.[2] She allegedly developed leukemia as a result of the hormones she had been taking, the long-term results of which had not been sufficiently studied.

[mashamorgan]

Died due to complications of his/her jabs in the process of a sex change so i was told. Possibly Andy's favourite alongside Edie Sedgwick !!

[WhaleSperm]

No if I got this right Jackie and Edie were the few of Andy's favorites.

[WhaleSperm]

So sad wish there were more books about her, I'm fascinated with the way she looks O.O so pretty

[elobeja]

Mmmm... I thought it was cancer.

[frrrrrankenstein]

She died of leukemia.

[belindadarlington]

[TRAVISJAMES03]

Candy Darling died in 1974.

[TerryRoberson]

[TheGodMar]

She's transsexual.

[VividGirl00]

[carezzza]

Nancy Spungeon was an ugly whore. Candy was beautiful.

[VividGirl00]

Sorry, but I have to agree. For shame!
