Something about messy hair

Exene Cervenka

I don't own a hair brush. I haven't owned one in years. Something about messy hair.

I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.

Angie Dickinson

(Angie Dickinson) -I dig this little bee-hive. It's very kittenish and for gals with a lot of hair, this is always a sexy up-do! (Bridget Bardot) - I like the bed head look with the partial up-sweep, which I like to refer to as the "cinchy". It's less formal but Vroom... Vroom all the way!

Tina Turner

(Tina Turner) - With that great fringe. Her hair style was very cool in it's "laid back" subtlety. The light caramels and golden browns work on this bob cut.

Mick Jagger in Performance

(Mick Jagger) - Who looks down right gorgeous with his dark chocolate tresses, in this movie image (Performance, released in 1970). I tend to gravitate towards this style of fringe when I wanna feel a bit rock n roll. 




(Joan Jett) - "The slice and dice" fringe, as I like to refer to it. It's dicey along the tips and works best with dark eyeliner eyes..the mystery is really in the eyes behind the hair!

The Supremes

(The Supremes) - I love these coifs. Above the collar and teased out to the sides. I can almost smell the hair spray that kept these styles dashing. Perfect for just about any occasion, this hair style always reminds me of Avon lipsticks, kitten heels and shantung jackets.

Jean Shrimpton

(Jean Shrimpton) - The "sex kitten" hair and side swept bangs. I've ventured into this hair style when I'm growing out my bangs and don't want to take scissors to them. 

Inspiration and the girl from Mars

At the age of 7 I discovered The B-52's . They were the first band that caught my attention with their  unique style and quirky songs. "Rock Lobster" clung to my brain as I sang it every night before bed time. My teenage sister had a friend who's sister was into new wave. She played The B-52's along with Blondie and other sounds that I was curious to explore. She wore her hair short and messy, dyed a reddish brown. She dressed so unusual that I was always intrigued by her outfits, which consisted of stripes, tights in bold colors and beaten up gold boots. Till this day, I strain my brain to remember her name. But she's never been forgotten. She left an impact on my young heart. After graduation, she moved out of her grandmother's duplex and I never saw her again. I named her, The girl from Mars, because she was beautiful in an alienated way. The year was 1979.
