"“It’s a shame about that hair,” a cab driver once said to her as we hopped in the back of a cab, and even though he had a point, the driver failed to understand the total Cookie “look.” She was the only person I knew who didn’t comb her hair for twenty-five years and still managed to look … well, beautiful. Girls and drag-queens copied the Cookie “look” when she was alive and they still do today. The Lower East Side is still filled with fake Cookies but they never seem to pull it off as effortlessly as the real Cookie did. Yes, they look crazy. Yes, they look scary. Some even cheap enough. But Cookie combined it all, and somehow became a knockout."
