Product Description

Ask Dr. Mueller captures the glamour and grittiness of Cookie Mueller?s life and times. Here are previously unpublished stories - wacky as they are enlightening - along with favorites from Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black and other publications. Also the best of Cookie?s art columns from Details magazine, and the funniest of her advice columns from the East Village Eye, on everything from homeopathic medicine to how to cut your cocaine with a healthy substance. This collection is as much an autobiography as it is a map of downtown New York in the early ?80s - that moment before Bright Lights, Big City, before the art world exploded, before New York changed into a yuppie metropolis, while it still had a glimmer of bohemian life.

Customer Reviews

Cookie is a Goddess
I am a big John Waters fan, and I think Cookie is one of the best actresses in his films. This book is a very interesting and entertaining insight into her life and thoughts. Even things that you would consider boring to read about she makes interesting and homorous. I know it's a cliché, but I really couldn't put this book down!!! Cookie has had a very interesting life, and this book will make you want to pack up, leave your home and have adventures!!!!

Brilliant!
Any lover of the kitsch, unusual and bohemian would adore this book of the strange, funny and sometimes sad adventures of one of the best actresses from the Cult movie director John Waters!
