It's true, Winehouse simply adopted the beehive.
Though she was fairly unique, in combining it with heroin hillbilly chic.
Most, like Mari Wilson, were retrospective, in that they aped the girly sixties back combing maniacs.
The girls in the B52's, in deepest Georgia, spent the seventies with masses of hair piled on their bonces, but had a harder look.
In the early eighties I was playing with the bad girl biker look. Design wise. Not myself. Depending on the year, I was either wearing fifties curtains, or sporting the look of a thirties matelot.
Though caring about the environment I was making behives worn as hats, made out of faux fur.
Which could be chucked off at the end of the night, instead of being gently wrapped in net headscarves, before being carefully propped up between two pillows, whilst the hair hopper tried to sleep.
