From sea to shining sea, wherever there are rock ’n’ roll types who want their hair to be noticed, there are wigs designed by Sture Osten. Tish and Snookie Bellomo, who once sang with Blondie, and then with the Sic F*cks, and who later opened Manic Panic, New York, New York’s original punk boutique, and who claim to change the color of their hair more often than their underwear, typically do so with the help of wigs designed by Sture Osten. I’m not making any of this up. For instance, to be photographed recently with two members of the Pop Tarts, whoever they are, both the sisters Bellomo donned Osten’s silver glitter and platinum Tina II (suggested retail: $44.00), named—you guessed it— after every wigmonger’s favorite pop singer, Ms. Tina Turner. Diane Brill, the celebrated menswear designer and galabout-town, is said to wear a Sture too. And a Sture was one of the five wigs Kate Pierson wore simultaneously while posing for the sleeve of the B-52s’ “The Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland” single.

On the opposite edge of the continent, two of Night Ranger were glimpsed donning Stures for a recent video shoot, and Lobsterhead Kenhart, Kathleen Turner’s stand-in during the filming of Peggy Sue Got Married, wears Sture’s spikey skunk number (suggested retail: $46.00) when she wants to make the Coors-becapped, down-vested fellows of the Northern California hamlet in which she lives exclaim, “Je-sus!”
