Theme Time! Hair
So, following on from my recent hair-related posts I have decided to go all out with the hair thing and bring you some of the best hair moments I can think of (whilst creeping myself out).
Hair is supposedly one of the erogenous zones, it scandalises and delights and there have been some pretty great scandals or trends started by pop stars:
Marilyn Monroe

A cut so iconic other 'icons' have since adopted it to confirm their iconic status.
Madonna

Lady Gaga
(Admittedly, I am loathe to mention her)
Elvis Presley

The Beatles

Okay, so this was silly, they had bowl cuts and everyone got very upset.
Cher



Those wigs!
Dolly Parton


No words.
Tina Turner

Bring It On.
Grace Jones

Who else could make a high top look so cool, ever?

Hmm? Gimme one of those I say.
Keith Flint

Haha, the firestarter and those horns.
Skin

Skin. Great name. She made it okay to be bald, black and queer. Impressive stuff.
PJ Harvey

Rid of Me album cover. PJ Harvey also has a song entitled Hair from her debut album Dry.
Amy Winehouse

If I see one more bad beehive...

There's this mad scene is Hable con ella/Talk to Her by Pedro Almodovar where small people enter a huge vagina with close-up on pubic hair follicles which is quite fun but unfortunately I can't find a link to it so you should just watch the whole film! (It also includes a scene from Pina Bausch's Cafe Muller)

Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's Rosas danst Rosas film from 1983 contains my favourite hair-focused dance scene.
Yoko Ono's Cut Piece (1965) involved the audience taking scissors and snipping off her hair, amongst other things...Cut Piece
Black is the Colour of My True Love's Hair sung by Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair. Beautiful.
River Phoenix just had Amazing hair.
