The Jean Genie


If Helen’s face launched a thousand ships, then The Shrimps figure launched a thousand shifts! Irrevocable, unforgettable and so chic it hurts, we’re still enamored with last week’s ‘We’ll take Manhattan’ – get us a teddy and a chain-link fence quick!

In-between You-tubing Bailey, Twiggy, Edie & Andy [we’ve gone all ’60s this week – get me a Besey & call me a ‘quaker!] we found this clip of Shrimp from the States…

Jean Shrimpton on \’What\’s my Line?\’

See, even her handwriting was sassy!

In the midst of this sixties-ness, we’re crying out for more sixties TV. Less ‘Twiggy’s Frock Exchange,’ more ‘Shrimp my Ride’ [possible cover art below]

Here’s hoping!

    This was quite high-larious. I think my feahtr must have given me the same look when I, by the age of 7 had the entire Funny Girl soundtrack memorized. Running around singing Sadie, Sadie, married lady must have set off some red flags, or rather, some rainbow flags. Can’t wait to read more wee articles by you.
