There will be competing blondes on the Croisette this May, and we ain’t talking about some of the random bimbos crawling out of the Nikki Beach parties. Marilyn Monroe plus birthday cake will be a regular sight and further down on the main, we have this Jean-Luc Cramatte photograph of what looks to be a Scandi-looking hipster blonde haired beauty in the wake of a nasty police house search, or if you want to read into what the committee might be thinking – the mess that was left over from the previous Quinzaine programmer (the 2011 edition was heavily criticized for its lack of punch). We look forward in seeing Edouard Waintrop unveil his first line-up.
