At one time, she ran a maid service for doctors, gaining access to the keys to their drug cabinets.
She once visited Andy Warhol, asking him if she could shoot a few of his Marilyns. He agreed. She did, and not with a camera.
The New York Times obit editors cropped this photo at Ms. Podber's knees, but here she is, boots and all.

She looks like she was a real old broad. RIP.
I love her.
I knew about the shot Marilyns, but I never knew she hung out at Keller's.
Yes, there was a time when $100 would buy you 100 beers. and a $25.00 tip for the bartender.
She totally stole my look for our night out on the town in May! I spent hours on ebay securing a pair of zebra boots with platform heels, to wear to the Eagle. I guess its chaps and engineer boots AGAIN.
*sigh*
Thanks for the link. As a former Iowa farm-girl, am always appreciative of Farmboyz.
Now, go forth and be naughty, in honor of Dorothy.
