Cynthia Heimel who recently died at 70, has left a mark in writing that created HBO big money-maker “Sex and the City”. But she will be remembered more for her straight advice to men and women in her columns at Village Voice and Playboy columns.
Her first book “Sex Tips for Girls” was a collection of her columns.
Most remarkable of the passage in it was this: “Sex is a perverse little devil and the minute you ignore it, it has a serious temper tantrum and tries every trick in the book to get you to notice. It clamors for your attention until it gets it at which point it disappears”.
Such was the power of her mysticism and phallus worship- rough and straight talk. Richard Sandomir has compared her with the soul of Janis Joplin, the legendary icon of 1970s rock scene in his column in New York Times, but Janis Joplin died from heroin and alcohol mixed overdose at fragile age of only 26.God bless her soul
