During a sweltering concert at the Riviera Theatre in Uptown, Jane Nye flourished one of her accessories to provide a cool breeze for the sticky crowd.
“She pulls out this fan made of ostrich feathers,” said her friend Juliet Weber. “And one sweep of that fan, and the whole row is glad we were there. She just had a style.”
A barber who cut and colored generations of punk, Goth, rock and glam hairstyles, Ms. Nye died Feb. 18 of cardiovascular problems at her home in Andersonville at 65.
She was a lean and angular presence, with stick–straight hair that floated down her back and a wardrobe that was Stygian black and heavy on skulls.
