Whether JPG really was making a tribute to her style or was just trying to cash in on her image I can't tell. I don't know if they were friends or if he ever did any work for her. Only his conscience can give an answer to that question.

Yeh I still think there was a dodgy relationship there but will never know now.

Apparently they never met!

The same style would have been created if Priscilla Presley had starred in Rus Mayer's Run Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Just had to Google that film -didn't know it. Sounds interesting, might be able to identify with thrill seeking go-go dancers;):D

Bit like a 1960's prequel of Tarantino's "Grindhouse"....?:confused:

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.
