Bilitis = movie
Bilitis was a musical movie I believe and it probably means that as some do in concerts she rolls her head from side to side on the sound of music, flipping her hair and probbly the scarf.

an idea
First published in Paris in 1894, this purports to be translations of poems by a woman named Bilitis, a contemporary and acquaintance of Sappho. This caused a sensation, not only because finding an intact cache of poems from a completely unknown Greek poet circa 600 B.C. would be a miracle, but because of its open and sensitive exploration of lesbian eroticism
