Why Do We Love...

Bebe Buell

The first time we knew about Bebe Buell was as Liv's Tyler mum, instead of someone's wife/girlfriend. We built a website at piczo platform for some actresses we loved (Drew Barrymore, Jane Asher, Shannen Doherty, Kate Winslett, Liv Tyler...), and looking for some Liv Tyler pics, I found this photo set:

Now, Liv wasn't a child actress like Shannen or Drew, so the famous was her beautiful mum! So we started googling about gorgeous Bebe, and we learnt that she was a very successful model in the 1970s and also had been posing for Playboy magazine.

Bebe has a very interesting life. Besides being a very beautiful model, Bebe was also friend of many rock stars, girlfriend and muse to some of them, and was in the American rock/punk scene in the 1970s and 1980s. Todd Rundgren, Jimmy Page, Steven Tyler or Elvis Costello were some of her lovers; Patti Smith, Alice Cooper, Liz and Dick Derringer, Debbie Harry, John Lennon and Joey Ramone were and are some of her friends.

Bebe was a model and a muse, but she is also a rock musician and an author. She is a very spiritual woman and a vegetarian, so she respects animals and nature, beliefs in cosmic energy, UFOs and after-life once we die here. She knows about history and literature too, being a very intelligent woman.

Like all the other muses, we built both a website and a yahoo group for her, and on Facebook we were friends with her and shared many photos and memories (until Facebook didn't allow us to be there under the "Little Queenies" name and were forced to delete it...).

Our dream, of course, is attending to one of her concerts or even get one of her two books (or both!) signed in person by her. To meet her either in Europe (London probably) or the States (more difficult but who knows!). We are full of joy to know and be aware that she knows about us!

Today, for her 70th birthday, we wanted to share with all of you, dear followers, how we knew about Bebe and what made us love her.

HEATHERS (1989)—Three Cheers for Cheerful Fatalism 

by Cinema of Cruelty • A podcast on Anchor and Spotify

This week The Cultists present Michael Lehmann’s ‘Heathers’ (1989). On the surface, Heathers seems like just another flick about mean girls in high school, but lurking not even all that deeply under the film’s pastel veneer is a downright savage satire of the teen experience. Initially written by a young Daniel Waters as a three hour long film in the hopes of baiting Stanley Kubrick, Waters’ script does what only the aspirations of a fervently fresh writer with a slight sense of ego can. Packed with unexpected references from Hitchcock to Hollywood horror to Sherwood Anderson’s ‘Winesburg, Ohio’ —and heavily reliant on the metaphors of nine-wicket croquet—Heathers is a lot more than it seems.

(Deep dives include: the films “myriad” of source materials and references; “cutthroat” croquet; all the Kubrick-bait; the trouble with finding sponsors for your teen suicide/homicide movie; script excerpts from the original ending(s); and why Heathers remains a revelation of irreverence.)
