Forever 27

 Let us take a moment of silence for the late Amy Winehouse and other members of the unfortunate Forever 27 Club. Then, discuss how amazing they were. Each led a new generation in style, music and mind set. People so iconic that when their names are mentioned, we can picture them exactly.
Love Janis. She is still the epitome of 1970s hippie blues/rock. Janis Joplin's care free, day three, just rolled out of bed after a night of drinking hair is still popular today. Bumble and Bumble's Texture gives just the same effect, no drinking required. 
For men in the 70s, it was all about Jimi Hendrix. The guitarist extraordinaire has shown naturally curly haired guys to just let go and grow with his ultra cool loose afro. Adrian Grenier (Entourage) and Isaac Bolivar (Happy Body, Slow Brain) have certainly (possibly subconsciously) kept him in mind when styling their hair.
 Any male human alive in the 1990s (my boyfriend included) can tell you about Kurt Cobain. Pair sun kissed, unwashed hair with the flannel shirt you didn't have the patience to fold and you have rockstar gold. Oh, don't forget the half laced Doc Martens. Those are key.
People have forgotten what real beehives actually look like thanks to latest member of the club. With hair as big as her voice, Amy Winehouse brought us back to the 1950s and 60s. I don't know if I would rock hair quite as big as hers, but I wouldn't mind being able to sing like her!
