Straigtened, flat, messy and spiky. What a load. Hollywood types today spend almost as much as John Edwards on their hairdos, only to have them look purposely tussled as if they just rolled out of bed. No style, nothing to complement them. Granted, long gorgeous hair is nice anytime----if its combed. But the gals I grew up watching on the tube or in some cases, dating, at least took the time to try to be pleasing to the eye.

Enough grumbling. Here are the top 7 sexiest styles of recent decades, in no particular order.

7. The Farrah look. Feathered, thick, and nice to sink your paws into. A late 70s phenom.

6. The Farrah Plus. Bigger, better and fluffier. best exemplified by Stephanie Powers and my 10th grade girlfriend.

5. 1980s "every hair in place" Perm. Even the wind did not effect this style.

4. The bob. Not the modified, modern, messy pseudo bob, but the real thing. Neat and short.

3. Updo. Not just for special occasions. Hot all the time. With infinite variations of the theme.

2. Boy cut. Also worn most exquisitely by one of the greatest all time beauties, Audrey Hepburn.

1. The Flip. Laura Petrie and Emma Peel. No more needs to be said.

Oh, HELLS yeah! Helicopter hair is teh hawtt.

I can't believe I forgot to pay tribute to one of the most hairrific men out there . . . Mike Score, lead singer for A Flock of Seagulls.

Who is that beautiful girl? I have never saw her on TV and in 1975 she would not have given me the time of day (although I was six even if I was her age....ignore would have been the word. lol).

How can we leave out Phil Spector's great contribution?:

Mike Score, lead singer for A Flock of Seagulls.

Classic!

(How could he drive anywhere with his hair like that?)

[Xenalyte]

That, ma'am, is a HELLUVA question. I don't think AFOS was big enough to have drivers. Maybe the keyboard player? ;)

And while we're at it, let's not forget these guys. But for them, there would be no such thing as the phenomenon that is Hair Bands.

[Allegra]

Ay, kaaza!

THAT is the epitome of a Hair Band! They're almost....frightening.

Aaah, the perm. That would help.

If she got caught in the rain, would it look something like this?

If I were to join a rock band, it would be to get girls...not dress like 'em!

[cajungirl]

Oh my! Have you seen the new headbands?

I have fond memories of one of those buns on top of my head with a little ribbon around it.

[ThanhPhero]

Not better...not bad

[RockinRight]

I SO want to go to Rocklahoma! Have you heard about it?

[Allegra]

If I were to join a rock band, it would be to get girls...not dress like 'em!

Right? They must have been competing with the Go-Gos or something. Whadda bunch of pretty boys.

I like men to look like MEN.
