Shanna says

Very interesting autobiography. Very funny stories as he and a friend travel through the bible belt to get to NY. Loved it.

Gilbert says

Holly Woodlawn led a remarkable life. Don't know if she is still alive (hope so). A true survivor. Her performance in "Andy Warhol's Trash" is a comedic classic.

Tom Schulte says

Lou Reed, on Transformer (1972) in "Walk On The Wild Side" gave a brief biography of her:

Holly came from , Fla Hitchhiked her way across the USA. Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her leg and then he was she

This books amplifies the sordid fun and games, sorrow and pain of Andy Warhol's New York and being Divine's roommate.

Scott says

A fun read...as I've always had a fascination about the Warhol scene. Holly certainly lived a fascinating life...and anybody that inspires the lyrics to Take a Walk on the Wild Side is alright by me.

Brenda says i think I would have liked this better if I had had some background knowledge on the Andy Warhol Factory scene

Jer'ell Hartsig says

I enjoyed and thought it was an entertaining read. Holly Woodlawn was a trailblazer and before her time transvestite, she claimed her fame as one of Warhol's protege.

Selena says

Money, Fame, and Power mean nothing if it kills you. Live for love only.

Bri Ana says

I was loaned this my freshman year at Reed - a welcome escape somewhere between Heroditus and the Letters of the Younger Pliny. Now it qualifies loosely as work related research...

Regardless of circumstance, it is a fun, hyper-campy tell-most of the life and times of a bubbly, unwittingly avant garde transvestite, rocketed through 15 minutes of New York infamy as one of Warhol's Superstars.

Read it as the transgender (cleaned up) alternative to Anger's "Hollywood Babylon".

Andy says

Holly Woodlawn's memoirs are essential reading not only for those interested in the Andy Warhol Factory legend, but is as close as we're going to get to a full-blown (pun) biography on the Warhol Trans-Triad: Holly, and . There's tons of dirt on the three divas for your entertainment, as well as fascinating info on Divine, and an inkling on what might have killed him (heart attack? nope!). Tightly told with very little chaff, Low Life In High Heels is the memoir to gobble up this summer.

David says

Not a bad read, and Holly's voice is funny, witty, and perfectly bitchy, but at some point this starts to feel like a cataloging of movies, shows, events, and people more than a memoir. She's lived a fascinating and crazy life alongside some amazing people, but there's very little insight or reflection.

Thirstyicon says

The same thing I learned from Rocky Horror and countless (gay) icons and stars: Don't Dream It, Be It. Oh and while drugs are fun: consume them, don't let them consume you.

Linda says

I had forgotten I had read this during my Book City days until Patti Smith mentioned her in Just Kids.

This book is a fun read that dishes the dirt while also talking in deep and complicated ways about intersections of identity, discrimination, and resilience through issues such as overincarceration of black and brown people, the targeting of trans people for brutality within prisons, considering sex re-assignment surgery, the dynamics of exploitation in Warhol's world, and many stories of queers fighting back and surviving. Ms Woodlawn models telling deeper truths through trashtalk!

Kathy Gilbert says

My daughter had to get this through interlibrary loan - difficult to find and super expensive to buy. Pretty fantastic story, but if even 50% of it is true this woman has to be given a lot of credit for making it through her life alive. Actually I suppose it's all true, just difficult to believe! She died in December 2015 and was only 4 years older than I am. Makes my life look very tame compared to hers. Interesting googling some of the names she drops while I was reading - some of her cohorts were also fascinating people, and I plan to get the movies Trash and and take a look at them sometime when Ron is gone. I am just fascinated by transgender people in general. If you've heard the song "Walk on the Wild Side," you'll recognize Holly in the first stanza. The three girls mentioned in the song did indeed walk on the wild side.
