That Hair. That Smile. That Poster.

Nancy Nall has a nice write-up about Farrah Fawcett.

Farrah was blot-out-the-sun beautiful and sold a million blow dryers to a million women who aped her haircut, but she was never really threatening...

...It was the smile, of course. And the fact that nothing but the hair looked excessively fussed-over. Since every woman fusses over her hair, it bound her to us, instead of pushing us away...

...You know what that poster says? Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful. It wasn’t something she could help.

And there was me thinking the post might be about Jacko.

Isn't life (and death) strange?

Yes, Jeremy, it is. And that's about all I've figured out to say about both. Just strange, weird and wild.

Great article, aif. Thanks. Love that there were no stylists or make-up artists. Love that the guy from Cleveland didn't originally like the shot. Love that everyone tried to copy it afterwards to no avail.

Love when magic happens!
