I'm not of *ahem* the greatest generation BUT I do remember wondering aloud why I couldn't get a jheri curl and everyone else could :o)
and did that life kill any of us? Heck no. My 18 year old daughter has never had the adventure of walking to school. Sad.
My in-laws were playing this game once, and as the only white guy there, I was able to correctly identify what "butch wax" was. I still had to guess, but at least I knew what a "butch" haircut was.
What is that?
Yeah. Back when it meant a male thing.
LOL!!!!!!
Well, I missed number six, about the Studebaker. How i remembered Caroline Kennedy's horse was macaroni, I'll never know. However, I did find an error in the answers, although probably not completely. Judy Tyler played Princess Summerfallwinterspring. She was extremely attractive, and also appeared opposite Elvis in Jailhouse Rock. She and her husband were killed in a car wreck three days after filming was completed. Elvis reportedly never watched the movie because of it.
I just looked. Reminds of me Dax hairgrease that my mom used in a futile attempt to subdue my bighair.
A butch haircut or butch wax? Post #27 got it right. It used to be popular with boys. Never heard of any kids putting wax in their hair, though. Grease, yes.
I do remember my father using vitalis.
I remember Score, Brylcreme, and Dipity-Do being popular hair stuff.
Yep, I remember Vitalis. Oh, and "Score" never lived up to it's name.
LOL
It was pink waxy stuff in a push up stick (like deoderant today) that you used to make the front or sides of your butch or crew cut stand up straight.
Like "Spin", on "Spin and Marty". Spin was cool (Tim Considine)
I am 45, and I got two wrong. I must have covered my handicap, I think!
Dang! I missed one. At 49, I guess I am old. I never realise it until I look in the mirror. I FEEL 32! HAHAHA
"not sure I should be happy about it,"
Hey, any age you can make it to is something to be happy about.
I'm 48. I missed the following four.
3(b) (ice on highways)
12(c) (streetcar)
16(c) (another pupil's name on top)
19(c) (The Esquires)
