By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.

No sense being pessimistic. It probably won’t work anyway.

I’ve seen just a couple of these before, including The Faith Tones. With those hairdoos, how could I help but search on them:

The hardest working BoB blogger around, lazy? Ha!
I left Geraldine and Ricky for you to research. 😀
Noticed I had a visitor and a Like on my new little test blog! Wondered how you’d found out about it, then I saw that WP auto-links back when I linked to here. Handy. No hiding!

It’s hard to believe now that girls once wore their hair like those on the bottom album cover. That hair is seriously teased. 😀 — Suzanne

Possibly; they wouldn’t have called the first one Vol. 1 unless they were planning to do another. For all I know they might have recorded a whole series. 🙂

You know the Faith Tones could have had normal hair. The girl I took to senior prom showed up with a hairdo like that. Totally did not look like herself. Not sure why she did it. It was all back to normal on Monday morning. The pictures my dad took are scary. I’m not sharing them!

I’m sorry to say that I had one of those teased-up hairdos back in my early teens; they were all the rage at the time.
I recently listened to an interview with Mary Tyler Moore where she described the hairdo they inflicted on her when she was playing Laura Petrie, and the enormous amount of teasing and hairspray that were required to achieve it. Her description of it was hilarious!

Apparently he couldn’t make up his mind whether he looked more alluring full face or in profile, so he decided to use both… and none of his friends loved him enough to talk him out of it.
