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.
LOL. That is the quintessential 70s look. BTW, Val, good to see you here. I hve not seen your name cross my screen in ages. Hope all is very well in Texas.
I get a blank on that one
Just as ugly and just as stupid, too.
Go with the Audrey look. ;o)
What about A**hole Rose?
You look like Nicole Kidman. Pretty picture.
Mine would be closer to a skullet, if I had one. LOL
And just try telling me Audrey don’t look good.
She’s a cutie, though never heard of her.
Indeed, they were. O’hara is still alive, I believe.
John Madden?
The Cher/hippie look is a loser to my tastes.
ROFL. Larry’s was a classic too.
She has to be on every list.
Most of southern Idaho is sagebrush desert...across the street from my subdivision...we get less than 14 inches of rain a year here.
After growing up on the gulf coast, in steambath New Orleans and Houston, I love it.
I know. Washington has more arid areas than it does rainy ones as well. I guess we can call them deserts. :o)
Since this thread was supposed to be about women's hair styles that would have been more appropriate. hehe
I’ve been in eastern Washington...my hubby has family in the tri Cities area and in Yakima, and my bil and sil both live in the greater Seattle area...so we have an excuse to cross over that way from time to time.
It is dry.
Til you get to the cascades. Then we are very damp and mossy. But I think the NW is the most diverse and beautiful part of the country.
