The Decade of Hair

The Decade of Hair

We tend to think of the 1960s as the dawn of hair, which it was, but the 70s is when it went mainstream. Me and my brother in January 1974. It was also the decade of alternative pants, you'll notice. Got my trusty camera bag slung on my shoulder. 35mm Kodachrome. View Big Hair.

On Hair, Cont...

Most of the youth I see today would disagree...especially those of a more ethnic descent (I won't say more, because it doesn't need to be said). Hair is out, on everything but emo white kids, and they look like sad pathetic trash. Short hair reigns, almost as if the 50's have returned. Thanks be to God!

Stylin'

Lookin' good! I love this photo.

Re: On Hair...

I wonder if the poster of "On Hair" has seen today's youth...

"Long hair is disgusting"

We haven't all "come to our senses," you hysterical germophobe. I for one am thoroughly tired of the unattractive cliche of head shaving. Also goatees and tattoos, but I'll save that for another thread.

On Hair

Thank God we've all come to our senses, finally. Long hair is disgusting and unsanitary, and one thing positive about modern style is the return of head shaving and short hair on both sexes. Hopefully it will stay this way. At the very least, however, I think 1970's style has gone the way of 1870's style: never to be repeated.

Niiice

Ooh, you looked like Richard Chamberlain, but better!

Who would've thought?

You and your brother are quite the lookers! Oh why can't I be about 35 years older?

I agree...

I was also captivated by this image...I love it.

The Pants !

Gotta love the plaid. Reminds me of my dad's red pair. He has promised to will them to me.

Yowza!

You two turned out to be a couple of hottie pitotties! Cute!

I had a pair of those "styish" lovely platforms when I was a 14 yr old girl and promptly tore some ligs in my right calf ... When my 14 yr old wanted a pair, the answer was, "Oh~look at those lovely flats.." Thank goodness she's 5'10".

Great pic!

Platforms

I trust these "steppers" have those godawful high-heel shoes on! I had a pair when I was in college back then--fell down when I first wore them and tossed them into the closet. I hate to look at photos of my time in 1960's...and cannot understand why I ever thought I looked "hip"!

Renaissance painting

I don't know if you're aware of it, but this photograph is one of the finest I've ever seen, from amateurs as well as professional photographers. The long lens, out of focus background, your attentive gaze towards some mysterious event somewhere to the the right, all this gives a kind of surrealistic feeling to the picture. And if you isolate a close up of yourself, you'll see it's almost like an Italian Renaissance portrait in oil.

Sharp.

Love the chestnut corduroy blazer -- perfect.

Mmmmm....

And right above "meat market" too -- interesting...

Please tell me Bro became a professor.

Because if he did not go on to become a professor with elbow patches, a pipe, and student assistants who did all his work, he missed his calling! Love the photo, love the HAIR, and am envious of that camera bag. (Oh, and at least you two had natural highlights & body; those poor fellas on the album cover have limp, lifeless pelts on their noggins.)

Absolutely awesome!

It's like a JC Penney ad!

Just wanted to say

I have all your albums!
