Elizabeth Taylor and Alexandre for "The Taming Of The Shrew"

When Elizabeth Taylor fell dangerously ill during the filming of Cleopatra in London, her husband, Eddie Fisher, asked her what would cheer her up more than anything in the world. The actress's answer was sharp and simple: "Bring me Alexandre!"  Frankly, it's understandable.

The Higher the Hair, The Closer to God

It takes a few seconds for this to travel back in time, when Vestal's hair was in its prime. But you would think that if they had all this faith in God, why couldn't He do anything to help her fashion sense.

Even the biggest, most fabulous head of hair has to start with something, even if its just a tiny sprout like this.

Everything That Uncle John Needs

In watching the above clip, two thoughts occurred to me.  The first is, how odd is it that Little Richard had so much more appeal to white audiences than black.  I also noticed at about the 1:19 mark, there's a brief cutaway to Bill Hailey sitting at a table.  My other thought was, that if I were an entertainer, my idea of living hell would be to have to follow Little Richard on stage!


What, really can anyone say about The Architect Of Rock And Roll, other than in addition to his extraordinary talent, he will always have a place of honor in The Hair Hall of Fame.

Handy Around The House.

I had one of these in my living room in Adams Morgan, Washington DC, in the early eighties (if you don't believe me, ask kabuki zero).   I purchased it for $18 from a junk shop down the street.  I couldn't believe my good fortune and promptly rolled it a block up the street to my apartment!  It was very handy as a holder for the daily mail, and at Christmastime it looked beautiful in it's festive decorations.  Sadly, when I moved to LA; it stayed behind.

My Hair Of Many Colors That My Momma Made For Me.

This model won First Prize at the Hairdressing Fashion Exhibition in London 1935. The trend to shorter hair has progressed exposing the neck and ears. The color effect was achieved by incorporating pigments in the setting lotion.

Simply. Must. Have.

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.
