How-To: A Honey of a Hive
For those of you saucy Bella Donnas who strive for a hip beehive that stars such as Amy Winehouse are making chic again, here's an easy way to recreate this punkier and slightly messier version of the popular '50s hairstyle at home.
There's no doubt that you can use a wig, like makeup artist and hairstylist Yvette Beebe did here for Halloween. But if you want to rock a hive with your own hair in under five, you'll need:
- a styling spray
- a comb
- a set of bobby pins
- firm hold hairspray
How-To: Amy Winehouse's Beehive
A year ago, the only people talking about Amy Winehouse were music aficionados. Fast-forward to the present day, and she's become a sort of style icon. While her look isn't for everybody, I like the fact that she has her own individualistic look.

Would You Let Your Salon Play Matchmaker?
Need a date? Brooklyn's Beehive Salon keeps a notebook filled with Polaroids of single customers (after their hair is primped to perfection, of course) along with their responses to a brief questionnaire. Though the success rate is unknown, the receptionist tells me she's seen lots of desirable specimens flipping through.
Bella Donna: Ronnie Spector
Girl groups from the Spice Girls to Le Tigre might not exist were if not for Ronnie Spector, the lead singer of 1960s girl band The Ronettes and first wife of murder suspect (and alleged nutball) Phil Spector. During a time when multiracial, all-female bands (Ronnie and her sister-cum-bandmate Estelle's mother was black and Native American, their father Irish) were uncommon, The Ronettes topped charts. Their most famous song, "Be My Baby" (yes, from Dirty Dancing) has been covered or sampled by bands from The Beatles to Concrete Blonde to Amy Winehouse.
Halloween How-To: Amy Winehouse
I'm hearing a lot of buzz about people going as Amy Winehouse this Halloween, which is a great idea—her look is unmistakable, and it's over-the-top fun. So when makeup artist Yvette Beebe offered to show me how to recreate her hair and makeup, I jumped at the chance to share the steps with you. Yvette has her own cosmetics line, and she really knows how to get a rocker-girl look down pat—not surprising, since she went on tour with Pink to give her that cool-girl look.
Love It or Hate It? Gong Li's Conical Updo
Curse of the Golden Flower star Gong Li showed up at the Cannes Film Festival with a very bold updo. Though it looks like it would be heavy, I really like this look — sort of an Eastern-influenced beehive. What do you think?
Christian Dior Cruise Collection 2008: Backstage Beauty
Last night in New York City, Christian Dior put on a fashion show to unveil John Galliano's 2008 ready-to-wear cruise collection. The look of the show was very 1960s mod, reminiscent of the looks we saw on the runways for fall and of Sienna Miller in Factory Girl.
The clothing was full of color, and the hair was bouffant and dramatic.
