Demi Hair from Bobby

Lounge act Virginia (Demi) downs a few stiff martinis and smokes some Parliments while gossiping and kvetching with her Beautician Miriam Ebbers (Sharon Stone).

Though its dark, Miriam's creation crowning Virginia's head is the biggest head of hair to hit Hollywood since Norma Shearer in Marie Antoinette.  Its amazing that Demi's eyes weren't pulled over the top her head from the weight of the wig. Shear (rim-shot) genius.

  3. Thanks Matthew. The hair is flawless. Everyone who could be is Bouffanted. White lipstick for days!

    Of course Bobby meets his end, and thus sets into motion all of the wrong that we've been paying for since. Hollywood can make every fantasy in the world come true for real. Its a shame.

    The world would have been a much better place today had he lived.

  4. I remember where I was on the Day of Bobby Kennedy's funeral. I was five and half, and we were having a garage sale in preperation of our move the following week to the big new house of South Woodland. My father moved one of our big blonde wood RCA TV's out to the backyard so we could watch the funeral. I didn't understand what had happened, only that (in my childlike mind - remember I was five and a half) Kennedy's got shot and that the last one to get shot was on my first birthday. For me, the TV OUTSIDE was a bigger event than what was happening in Washington.

    A week later we moved to place that was unfamiliar, I started school, discovered UHF TV stations, lost my dog when my mother gave him away instead of letting him move with us and Bobby Kennedy died.

    1968 was a bitch of a year.
