Words Fail

Overheard.

While still in pre-production, the hairdresser on The Addams Family movie gave a nickname to the wig that was used on Anjelica Huston.  She called it Faye (Dunaway) "...because it was such a bitch to work with."

VERUSCHKA!

Yes, I'm guilty, I stole this from SSUWAT. What can I say, it's fabulous hair on a fabulous model, so it belongs here.

Hall of Shame!

Dandelion Head

Before, and Bouffant

Make Over Courtesy of The Hair Hall of Fame

Golda is a girl on the go in the hectic Middle East.  If she isn't on the phone with Moshe Dayan discussing battle tactics, then she's in the kibbutz kibbitzing, planting trees, placing ceremonial bricks in the wall and leading Jewish children in song.  Her life is so busy that she seldom has time to treat herself to some "Me" time, let alone a game of pinochle with the girls.  "Everyone wants a piece of me," she muses, "so whats left? Feh!" 

Her turn-ons include defying Soviet threats and moon-lit walks on the beach; her turn-offs are bacon, impromptu guitar players and insecurity.

So we out fitted her with a back-combed bouffant wig, in a softer color that is more flattering to a woman of her maturity.  Notice how the shape of her "do" emphasizes Golda's best feature - her strong jawline.  In the back, the wig is slightly higher - its a kicky look!  Now, when she smiles alluringly, and look up from negotiating table from beneath the lush folds of nylon acrylic and disarm any world power with her smile.  We also lightened her eyebrows and gave her cucumber slices to reduce puffiness under her eyes.  After a deep tissue massage, and twenty minutes in a mud bath, she feels like a new woman.  "I feel like I could go out and conquer Egypt!"

Happy Fourth of July
