qui est GIGI?

as evidenced through josh gosfield's collection of magazine covers, snapshots, advertisements and album covers, gigi gaston had her meteoric rise and fall in the 60's-70's french pop music scene. however, this amazingly thorough archive covers something that never actually happened. gigi is a fictitious character 'played' by modern ye-ye sweetheart mareva galanter of the always amazing do you scopitone? i loooove stuff like this.
