Her Beauty Sleep

Advice for socializing in the sobering ‘90s comes from no less a veteran than Holly Woodlawn, the former Andy Warhol superstar, who now lives quietly in Los Angeles and has taken to moderation.

Woodlawn (nee Harold Ajzenberg), who has just penned her autobiography, “A Low Life in High Heels” (St. Martin’s Press), was out every night in the ‘70s, partying until 5 or 6 a.m. with the celebrity crowd. “I was at Studio 54 opening night and stayed five years,” she quips. But it took a toll. “If you’re out all night you look horrible, you can’t go to work and you become a mess. I drank, took speed, took coke.”

To politically correct charities, of course.
