ARCHIVE

Crayons To Perfume's Girl of the Week is Christine Pilzer and the fabulous Femmes de Francais!

Christine Pilzer was the ultimate ye-ye girl! A disc jockey, a mod, a teenager in France who loved just being a teenager! Sneaking out from her parents, hanging with her gang, loving pop music, fashion and comics. She was also an illustrator for comic books! But the one thing she had not done was make a record - and so she did!

Christine is one of the few ye-ye girls who was able to take a light hearted approach to her two EP musical career, and be in control of it - and it's why she still enjoys the memories. See her perform, looking almost exactly as she did in the 60's in her bowl haircut with petite figure and mod dress - with Les Terribles in 2006!






Now listen to a full hour of Crayons To Perfume 16 - French girls, Canadian Girls and other girls who sang in French!
