According to Saga Magazine (aimed at the over fifties) the beehive hairstyle is making another comeback - if indeed it ever went away. It attributes much of the blame for this not to Marge Simpson, but to troubled pop-star Amy Winehouse, whose “towering tumbleweed construction ”has become her trademark. Some of us are old enough to remember another star who favoured the multi-storey hairdo - Dusty Springfield, singing I only want to be with you as long ago as 1964. Emma Jane had a brief affair with the beehive around that time and still has her original tail-comb. She gave it up, not because the frenzied back-combing was giving her arm-muscles like Popeye, but because of the vast quantities of lacquer required to keep it in place. Having hay-fever, I was allergic to hairspray. Consequently, I only have dozen or so photographs of her with the handy-floss hairstyle.
