The 10 Best Film Femme Fatale Hair Styles

In no particular order ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fifth Element (1997) - Leeloo

In Luc Besson's The Fifth Element, the survival of the human race rested on this ancient female, resurrected super being. Played by Milla Jovovich, her bright orange locks matched with her strapped band costume made an iconic action heroine look that is copied by millions of racy girls during halloween.

 

Amélie (2001) - Amélie Poulain 

Just so nobody thinks I am excluding the hipsters fav, Amelie's cutesie neck revealing bob had audiences swoon over this French daydreamer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pulp Fiction (1994) - Mia Wallace

Everyone knows why Mia Wallace - the coke head wife of a gangster gets onto this list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

True Lies (1994) - Helen

Love when Jamie Lee Curtis sports the gel head look as Helen and does her sexy dance for secret agent husband Harry (or the president of California Arnie Schwarzenegger).

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Ring (2002) - Samara Morgan

The majority of the fear created by this character has been in her dingey, wet locks emblematic of her after-life spent in a well.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pink Flamingoes (1972) - Divine/Babs Johnson

Rocking up in a caravan with her egg loving mother, her off the chart son and companion Cotton; Divine's receeding hairline with the roots showing gives trailer trash a fab edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blade Runner (1982) - Rachel

A futuristic dystopian L.A. plays host to a realm of robots and humans. Although Rachel (Sean Young) lets her hair down during the film, it is this 50's, perfected inspired do that completed this replicant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Star Wars Episode IV - Princess Leia

With doughnut ring hair on each side mimicing a panda, Princess Leia takes her place on this hair list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty Woman - Vivian Ward

How can you not want those soft call-girl curls of Julia Roberts?

Harold and Maude (1971) - Maude

Constructing the uber cougar with her sexually passive agressive plaited locks, Harold had no hope in hell of resisting the playful mother figure.

101 Dalmations (1996) - Cruella Deville

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) - Lara Croft

Ghostworld (2001) - Enid

Leon (1994) - Mathilda 

CK One Shock

I just think its hard to make an advert that encapsulates a brief wave of 'cool'. I welcome thee CK One Shock advert with open arms. Might go and have a sniff meself.

Sleep Party People

Danish post-rock lofi band. The Guardian has written an article about their 2nd new album, which recalled my first experience of listening to them a while back before I discovered the joys of venturing out 4 times a week on a slack uni schedule. Understandably they have some more upbeat new stuff but I can't help but to circle old territory - in this video I am drawn into their movements consequently reassuring my liking of this seasoned track despite perceiving the branded bunny masks a little outdated (think The Knife). They will be playing White Heat in Soho, April 17th.

Azealia Banks

Give a Helping Hand to 2012!

Happy New Year!!!

To start the New Year in style why not cleanse those hangover legacies and 'returning to work' blues by investing in some decent charitable merchandise for your new January wardrobe.

The advertising house that is Mother, has come up with a nifty idea to sell a limited amount of T-shirts with predictive, psychic slogans that remain unbeknowst to the purchasers until delivery. For £100 you can get your paws on one of these tees of the future, being comforted by the fact that 100% of the revenue goes to Age UK, despite any fortune told! Make the rising fuel prices and fixed pension incomes bearable for someone today.

Broken Social Scene Tee Above

As I love Canadian indie bands and their origins, I could not help but blog about the Montreal based, non-profitable charitable scheme that is The Yellow Bird Project. Catching various musicians they ask them to design a T-shirt for a charity of their choice with the likes of Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah, and Bon Iver having graced this tradition in the past.

   



Baubliscious

Feeling the festive season rather late, I decided to quickly make a penguin bauble after being inspired by a gift from a friend. Lots of thread, circled round a fluffy ball you get from arts and crafts stores, and pins to hold it in place. Hurrah! Live long and prosper you crafty thing.
