he's like a really tall lanky bald man that should be wearing a purple striped suit and a top hat.

I don't know why it's around this time every year I start getting sick of my hair (rhyming not intentional but TOTALLY COOL). Maybe it's because my birthday be coming up and I need some kind of ~change~ but the main reason is that my current hair is a mix of a mullet/No Country for Old Men/Anna Wintour (not a good thing, srsly)/and like, that really ugly little boy in your preschool that was the biggest bully ever so you eventually hit him for stealing your crayon (or it might've been a block, you can't really remember) and you got in big ass trouble for basically just showing him wut's wut in the wut.
Anyway, last year I wanted to go Twiggy, which ended up not happening, something I now don't regret because she probably used lots of gel or spray or whatever those fancy things are and I refuse to do more to my hair in the morning other than brushing it. Now I'm looking at Edie Sedgwick, who was just awesome.You can't really see her hair in some of these but WHATEVS LET ME FANGIRL.
(This isn't her singing, but MAN wouldn't that be just another reason to love her.)
I also don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me want to be 60's ladies that were crack addicts, but whatevs, if I could I would totez be friends with Edie or Marianne Faithfull.
I guess my ideal hair would be a Grace Jones cut or Bob Dylan but genetics seem to think differently. OR THIS:Yes, this is ideal.

Cruz said...

I also love Edie! As for your hair I think you should just go with your gut, whatever will work best for you. :) I totally agree about hair though, I'll only brush it AND NOTHING ELSE.

Diane said...

Edie is so incredibly beautiful - I hope you do get your hair cut like yours! I know I've always coveted her hair but I'm unsure of how I'd be able to pull it off.

McCall- It's The Velvet Underground, from their ST. It goes so perfectly with the footage of Edie, no?

AFitz said...

EM_C she's actually 67, she just has that weird disease thing that benjamin button had.


Anyway, fluorescent pink mohawk or bust, I always say.

edie's hair cut is cool, but I'm more in love with Amelie from the movie Amelie's haircut.

bobb said...

You are right - Maureen Tucker's voice and Edie - a very nice blend.

Josh Tengan said...

love edie

Tavi said...

Alyssa- Uh no, a Taurus, my birthday is April 21
AnnaFitz- Hahah I love you xD
lestylegirl- I've actually never seen that (I know, I am horrible!) but I know the hair and it is pretty cute! Just too similar to what I had a few months ago I guess.
bob- Yes, any girl drummer that sings is the best ever.

Love + Cake said...

Edie Sedgewick was an amazing woman. It's a tragedy what happened to her.

As far as the hairstyle, I say go for it!!
xox, mavi

Phone with a Cord said...

I was going through this same query myself a month ago. Decided against the cutting-- my current hair is very long and Im too much of a wuss to part with it. Consider Mia Farrow (?) her pixie was pretty amazing, like twiggy a bit

alex said...

I <3 Factory Girl :)

ps- thanks for this video. I loved it

Eline said...

I don't think I will ever be able to stop staring at the hat hair OH MY GOD. I love it. But anyway, I say go for the Edie hair!

Rachael Kearley said...

Love her, and factory girl is my favourite movie, I'm sure you'd look amazing with and eddie hair cut. I wish I could pull that off

Emilie said...

Her hair is wicked cute I think you could definitely pull it off. Errr that "fro-hat" is quite disturbing, sorry to disappoint, but I don't think that is a winner xD.

Also wanted to let you know that I have made a formal post/colorful banner about CWAC so check it out if you feel so inclined.

Leah said...

edie is such an inspiration, i know her lifestyle was probably not "healthy" or whatever, but right on with the being a 60s crack addicted fashion icon. i love the song too :)

Belinda said...

Edie Sedgwick? She's beautiful and mesmerizing and all, but come on. I think the fro hat is the clear winner here.

Skip the hair, just go for the eyebrows.

WendyB said...

My vote is for the fro-hat, of course.

Iris said...

go to somewhere like coupe bizarre (http://www.coupebizzarre.com)
and just get them to do 'whatever you want' ... they'll never go half so crazy as they do in their hair show pictures, and mine turned out wonderfully!

Fannah said...

her hair is GOOD.

and that man cracked me up :p seriously, it's 'useful' maybe, but a) your hair just kinda fails you when it's raining and b) it shouldn't be too comfy sleeping..

R. said...

Hey GIrl

I say hair grows so do what you want while you want to. I have half a shaved head and just cut my hair into a slick 1920s flapper bob...with one big ass bald patch on one side...
but its fun as from one side people think 'Aw sweet girl with her short little bob, then I turn around and they're like 'Whoa, were you in a car accident'

sweet

Sooo stylish Edie!!!

Frankie said...

I'm totally with you on the Edie love. So stylish and so fascinating. I read her biography last year and I'm still intrigued x

zekay65 said...

I really love the eye make up. But I must be desperate and plead you to come and visit my blog. I know this is sad but have a peak and fantasy finkers and I will grant you a wish I cannot hear but will know with out knowing.

Making sense I think not. So visit before I burst. Love the eye makeup!!

Elisa said...

She's incredibly beautiful, but you could pull off anything!

Ezra said...
