Christa Päffgen was born in Cologne in 1938 and she has enlightened my days ever since! She first came to fame because of her modelling career, but that affair with fashion only lasted a few years, until smarty pantsies Andy Warhol convinced her to be his latest toy and work along his musical project "The velvet underground". Her off tone voice and sadness quickly catch the media attention and made her an indie star, her long gold locks and extremely long eyelashes made a statement on and off the stage, where she dealt with depression and unbearable love affairs, like the one she had with Alain Deloin and his bastard kid Arie. She appeared on films such as Chelsea Girls by Warhol, La Dolce Vita by Fellini or Strip Tease by Poitrenaud among others, but her true call was and always will be music. Nico, you may have a gay lover´s name, but your name is tatooed in my heart!
