Candy lady Hello! The paragragh I quoted is an excerpt from a report of the Daily Mail. (The subtitle of the picture in the report)Candy lady: Amy Winehouse, pictured earlier this year, has splashed out thousands of pounds on turning a room in her London home into a sweet shop
Amy Winegum: Now troubled singer is 'addicted to sweets' | Mail Online
Could you please tell me what "candy lady" means in this context? Is it a fixed term or it is coined by the journalist? Thanks!

Re: Candy lady A lady who sells/likes sweets, but also a sweet lady, and possibly also carrying other connotations, such as drugs.
It is not a fixed idiom, but there are similar terms such as Candy Girl and Candy Man.
