Lately Andie has been considering bangs, which apparently are again in vogue. Critics claim “an instant tuneup to any hairstyle!” and “look better in berets!”
I told Andie I’m all for it. For inspiration, I emailed her this photo of Jane Birkin and her bangs from the ’60s. Jane was known then as a singer/actress although her performance in either field could be described as “insubstantial,” or, better yet, “breathy.”
I’d say she’s more famous for appearing nude on film and nearly so on her record covers. The Vatican, the BBC and several countries censured one of her singles, not for the cover, but the orgasmic lyrics and moaning therein. And as legend has it, Hermès named one of its most exclusive bags after her.
I am confident that, with bangs, Andie can meet or surpass these achievements in foxiness.
