Here is my new rendition of Brigitte Bardot as my entry for this week's Caricaturama Showdown. I'd caricatured her once before several years ago, but I think I like this new version better than the first one. I sketched this Brigitte while watching her in the 1962 French film, Love on a Pillow.
I like Bardot the film star, but I like her even better as one of the icons of early 1960's French pop music. I've got several of her CD song compilations from that era and there's such a fun, cute sound to her songs. Here's a performance of Invitango from a TV special she did in 1963:
Great caricature of her Pete. She's a real sex-symbol before her time. Shame that today she's became less pretty since her obsessive animals defense.
ReplyDeletetruly amazing
ReplyDeleteyou got her attitude
I love 60s French pop. Not sure if you like Godard's films, but ever see her in Contempt (Le Mépris)?
ReplyDeletePete, let's sit down and watch "Letter to Brigitte" sometime, OK?
