The title of Smith's memoir comes from a comment she and Robert Mapplethorpe overheard about them while they were on Coney Island in 1969. The photograph of them taken that day (on the book's cover) depicts a young man who would become one of the century's most controversial photographers, and his muse, a poet, artist, and future punk rock goddess. With its roots in the New York counter culture of the late sixties and early seventies, their story is equally revealing, moving, tragic and memorable.
