[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 728240, member: 1550"] This is off topic but I remember when in order to curl my hair, I had to wear either rock hard or spongy rollers, sometimes with Bobby pins. I also remember when my best friend had to wrap her hair to straighten it, and some girls even ironed their hair. And some boys used perms (see the dad in Brady Bunch). On the topic of fashion, that reminds me of school. I remember greasers (with black leather coats and grease on hair and Uber make up and high heels and short skirts for girls), freaks/hippies (mostly richer drug users that generations difficult kids who were given every advantage), preps/jocks and queers (this is what we called nerds. It had nothing to do with sexual orientation, which was not yet something discussed). Then there were those of us who didn't belong to any group. This was me. I sort of dressed a little hippie like but I NEVER did drugs, not even pot. The Nam war and boys getting college exemptions from parents if they didn't want to go. In my neighborhood it was not considered a good thing to go. Every boy from my neighborhood, smart or not, was in college to avoid Nam. Long hair on boys. I am not sure this lonet hair ever really disappeared. [/QUOTE]
