GERDA HAS exceptionally cheerful hair, whimsically layered in an asymmetrical cut tinted a vivid, deviant red, with gold and ginger highlights. It frames a Spartan face, frozen in eternal despair, and skin scrubbed raw daily to eradicate makeup traces applied decades ago. Worn, cracked work boots are the only accessory to her drab, ill-fitting, man clothes. Gerda is a zombie with merry tresses. Who you gunna believe?
