Show us your 80's hair
here's mine.

haha...I'd forgotten that some of you guys were just babies in the 80's. Very cute though.
That's not me actually, I wasn't copyrighted. I don't think I could even style my hair like that kid.
oh well, still, there are a few of you that would have been spring chickens then huh. Hmmm...Ibram wouldn't have been more than a twinkle in his daddies eye back then I suppose. lol
Actually 1979
Left, 1984
ok glatt, did you go to the same hairdresser as UT? ;)
gregory's girl, anyone?
That's a great flick. Almost watched it last weekend.
Hahaha I may not have had hair in the 80's but I do have 80's hair!
...well, until I cut it I kind of did.
And I plan to in the future f'sure.
Ewwwwww, bowl cuts.
Aliantha:
what, no headband???
Tell me, were you wearing leg-warmers when this shot was taken?
I have no pics available, but it was:
Early 80 - primary school - bowl cuts
Mid/late 80s - high school - crew cut/sweep back
Very late 80s ... emergence of pony tail. Acquired tie-dyed T-shirt ... oblivious to anachronism.
nope, no legwarmers. It was actually a dress which was fairly long. Kind of 40's style I suppose you'd say.
I never really got into headbands in the 80's, but I did wear mini skirts and oversized white tshirts with things like 'life' and 'gogo' written on them in fluro colours.

"WHAM!" by any chance?
and wasn't it usually "choose life"?
I'm going to see if I can rouse my brother - 99% of my childhood photos are in this house and I have no scanner. My brother is 5 minutes away with a scanner and no photos - argh!
My 80s hair is only marginally amusing. But my sister's....! Actually she has always had comedy hair. Bro & I spend a sacreligious few minutes giggling about her latest barnet in church on Friday. Platinum blonde with crispy curls...? Very noughties darling.
my eighties hair can be seen in my topless photos--where ever they are.
UT--I'm sooooooo in lurve with you!!!!!
UT, you were a hot kid. If you were about... uh, like, 20-odd years younger, i'd totally hit that.
And damn, you were hot 20 years ago too, rkzenrage.
Yep....UT you was so the hotty!
Mind you, more recent photos of UT make me go squirmy too:P
Rk, you look pretty damn good in those photos, but I actually think you got more attractive with age. The recent photos you've posted on here just shout charisma.
For most of the 80's I had fairly non-descript schoolgirl hair. Sometimes tied in a pony tail.
At the school leavers party (16) I had my hair cropped into short spiky style and died ash-blond. Somehow over a period of about a year that morphed into a kind of Princess Di type style (with ducks arse at the back :P)
UT was in my dream the other night. He was a Christian, quite thin and very earnest. Even though he was married and very moral I felt he was flirting with me... and I felt I had a chance!
But then the same night I dreamed RK was making "subversive" films (aka porn) trying to bring down the government by proving sex and power were both corrupting and therefore interchangeable. I appeared in one (later in the dream I just watched it) as Dr Who abusing his powers by seducing and practically rapiing a schoolgirl. Other Dwellars found it revolting but (in the dream) it turned me on.
ANYWAY - my bro scrapped his scanner so no 80s pics of my hair, sorry.
haha...I'd forgotten that some of you guys were just babies in the 80's. Very cute though.
I was in line at the bank last week and the guy in front of me had to give his birthdate.. I almost fell over when he said 1984!
From 1986. Warning: Photo is not NSFW but is in an NSFW thread.
Let's see, I'd say about 1984 here...
how exactly do you get old pictures like that to post?
Oh.my.god. Zippy....suddenly I want you a whole heap more!!!
UT ....you were gorgeous back in the day, but yes, I agree...you have gotten better with age.
RK...the pic of you in the stream is still my favorite.
I need to pull out my effie hair shot.
you've seen this before.
jinx must have cured teh case of the ghey. ;)
Someday, I'll go get the photo albums and the scanner and my shame will be known...
OMG LJ, you were so Jason Donovan (thats Kylie Minogue with her 80's hair too)
Okay...true story...supposedly. But given who it happened to, I totally believe it.
Winter of 1990...at the time, all my friends and I were in 8th grade. It was the peak of the big hair days...grunge and flannel were creeping up on the horizon. Anyway, at the time, we all used to go to these mixers on Friday nights at the Carpenters' Union Hall. $5 for all you can drink soda, dancing and deer hunting.
So my friend Rachel is getting ready one Friday. She was already dressed for the night, but she wanted to eat something before she went. She went into her pantry to get a can of ravioli. She then turned on one of the gas burners on her stove...nothing doing. So she went to get a long match to reignite it, as the pilot light was still lit. Well, she put a lot of Aqua Net in her hair that night, and she leaned over the store to light the burner, which was in lighting mode...
WHOOSH! Singed her bangs off. Fortunately, she sustained no other injuries. Pretty fucking funny though...we didn't let her live it down the rest of the school year.
Meh - happened to me (although I have an excuse)
I was playing Mustardseed in the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1985. We had all day dress rehearsal and the 6th form Art Students (18 years old to my 12) tried out full hair and make-up on me. As it was in modern dress, we were supposed to be punks, but it really just involved blue/ purple/ silver face paint, back-combed hair and lots of spray-in colour (same palette range)
I went home for family dinner in the evening - a special occasion I remember - and leaned across the table, only to catch my hair on one of the candles. Well it stuck out further than I was used to!
I do have a picture of us on the opening night - sans flame - but as I said earlier - no scanner :(
"WHAM!" by any chance?
and wasn't it usually "choose life"?
Yeah...that was another one.
Oh.my.god. Zippy....suddenly I want you a whole heap more!!!
UT ....you were gorgeous back in the day, but yes, I agree...you have gotten better with age.
RK...the pic of you in the stream is still my favorite.

Oh man, my dorkzilla shot? :headshake
late 88 or early 89 ;)
Kitsune and Razz are soooooo cute!!
Winter of 1990...at the time, all my friends and I were in 8th grade.
:eek:
I don't have a color scanner here at work, so I used my digital camera. I did so - so.
I was 19yrs old - 1986 - "several" pounds lighter. And at that time I really liked blue eyeshadow.
[ATTACH]15190[/ATTACH]
haha...that's the same shade Dame Edna wears. ;)
BTW, guys, thanks for not making fun of the bad modeling shots... I hated doing that but needed the money and exposure. So I thought.
The 80's were an ugly, ugly, time.... there are worse... much worse.
yep. The 80's was just one big loooooong bad hair day.
Hair was just the beginning... goth... pegged pants... it got worse...
bubble shorts and dresses, which I am very appalled to note are making a comeback. I can't believe what people will wear in the name of fashion. I do include myself in that. I've worn some really stupid clothes over the years just like everyone else.
hmmm...I don't know about jelly shoes. Maybe that fad didn't make it here...or maybe even I turned my nose up at it and then blocked it out of my mind as a bad dream.
jelly shoes are back too. they're just called crocs and are not transparent
crocks more like....
Jellybean shoes?? They were HUGE here.
Bit like those bloody crocs
oh right, Crocs. The ugliest shoe known to mankind.
Not worse than jellies... no way.
I remember jelly shoes now. They usually had sparkles in them right?
I never wore them because I found they made my feet sweat. Same with crocs.
Yes... and by the end of the day the day's dust had turned to mud around your toes and the "jelly"... NASTY!

i think we got it out of our system the last three times you posted them.
i don't know. i think i reach a saturation point for your pompousness. i let a few things go by and keep quiet, because i don't want to just heckle you unmercifully....or seem like i have a personal axe to grind with you....but i just get to a point where .....dude. well....let me try this in list form....i think i'll put it in your butthole thread, though. all of you that get uncomfortable when i break someone's balls...just don't click
this link.
I hope you'll keep in mind that ALL press is good press.That he is a dick. Yeah... he wants us to be SURE to get that.
His crush on me is embarrassing.
yes, my point is that I'M a dick. not that you're so ridiculous that it makes me want to poke myself in the eye with a rhinoceros ....at all
Can you two go fight somewhere else?
stalkystalkystalkstalkstalk
yeah...well that's what i was saying. i try not to, but christ man. your posts are one of 2 things:
1. god bashing in a condescending, insulting manner
2. telling us some new way you were, are, or intend to be really realy cool.
so....i hit a point where my soul cries out, "break his balls! someone HAS to ....for the sake of his ridiculousness/reality ratio!"
you don;t have to thank me.
you're ruining my hair god damn it!
your hair was already all fucked up.
no need to get grumpy at me Mr!
Cant all 3 of you go fight somewhere else?
like where? and are there 4 of us now?
You can't bash something that does not exist.
You can't break my balls because I don't care.
i know, i know....rubber.....glue....yeah yeah
Jellybean shoes?? They were HUGE here.
Bit like those bloody crocs
I wasn't allowed jellybeans - we ordered all our clothes from the summer catalogue about 5 months before it got warm and there was no room for fashionable shoes by the time summer came around. I coveted the next door neighbour's pink jellies in direct contradiction of the 10 comandments.
But I loooooved my Crocs. Yes, my feet sweated in them, but my feet sweat in every shoe. I only gave up in them when months later I walked a hole in them.
In fact I've just accepted I have to throw away another pair of "normal" shoes because the inside has been eaten by my toxic feet way before the pavement could destroy the outside. They were quite cheap soft-soled ones anyway - but I have replaced them with a pair of real shoes! Leather, black, by Next, at least £30 new - from the charity shop for £3.49, so I won't get wrinkly toes next time it rains :)
Rage, this isn't middle school.
Not everyone who criticizes you has a crush on you.
Not everyone who happens to be near you is stalking you.
And its NOT true that opinions count as facts unless held by a christian or, uh, anyone but you.

Ibram has a right to his opinion, just like anyone else here, Spex.

That's no fun...
Yep, and now back to our usual programming.
[SIZE="7"]Show me your 80's hair!!!!![/SIZE]
Sheesh Ali, I think you and Drax are made for each other.
Anal much? :p
Well someone's got to put an end to this incessant bickering and it might as well be me since everyone already thinks I'm annoying. :alien:
Now show us ya locks!
But it's OK for you to babble in other people's threads.

fixed that for ya

I'm sure
you did.
Your last sentence is unintelligible.
I understood it.
I may or may not agree with it, I may or may not be deranged. But I understood it. Therefore not unintelligable.
My last sentence was pretty bad - thats what almost missing the bus to post on the cellar will do for you.
My point is... Every single one of your multitude of very very, er, extreme opinions are treated like fact by you - like god's honest truth, haha. And any opinion that you disagree with, or any opinion held by, uh, any person of any religious persuasion... is 'just an opinion' and is thereby completely ignored or brushed aside by you.
It's wrong, and its intellectually dishonest.
glatt menedez?
treated like fact by you
If you read that into it... that is on you, your opinion, not mine.
Name one "extreme opinion" of mine.
Extreme... funny.
Dude, okay, no.
Can you POSSIBLY fucking deny that every opinion you voice on here isn't extreme?
I mean its not a BAD thing, all my opinions are pretty extreme.
Yours are usually more so. If i didnt have class in five minutes I'd go dig up proof. If you honestly can't admit that you are extreme in almost all your opinions... I may be forced to dig some up.
Christ man, get off your fucking high horse and do a little bit of goddamn self-reflection here.
But it's OK for you to babble in other people's threads.
I was trying to stop them arguing. I don't really give a shit about the thread. I'm sure some people saw the humour in it. You of course missed it. No surprises there. :alien:
Oh, I see... whining = humor. Nobody ever 'splained that before.
Sweet fucking jesus, is there something in the water? How can a thread about 80s hair turn into a free for all fight?
Sweet fucking jesus, is there something in the water? How can a thread about 80s hair turn into a free for all fight?
Well.........
Ali very far-sightedly identified the point at which it all went pear-shaped:
oh...there's your point.
That point was preceded by the resident attention-whore-troll feeling that they hadn't had enough abusive attention to get all self righteous about recently asking for some....
...and the resident dick-abuser obliging.
and so they were all happy, but then everyone else was all like "wtf, I'm not getting anything out of this.....if you can't beat 'em, join em.... :stickpoke "
:D
resident dick abuser? sounds chafe-ey ... no more yanky my wanky!
resident dick abuser?
No:
... dick-abuser ...
Translate: you're a dick who is an abuser.

Why do you only jump on RK for this - it's not like he's the only one who does it?
... dick-abuser ...
Translate: you're a dick who is an abuser.
Abuser is a noun, so it shouldn't have a hyphen at all. A hyphen indicates that the first adjective modifies the second term (which must be an adjective or adverb.) One who is both a dick and an abuser would have to be a "dick/abuser."
clodfobble, you are possibly the funniest person in the whole damn cellar.

the hyphens were added to introduce an element of ambiguity in interpretation ;)
-a punctuitive wildcard, if you will.....
Now that blood pressures are coming back down, may I suggest that the cellar would benefit from a new forum: ABUSE. I was going to suggest a thread but I really think it needs its own forum, because it happens fairly often and involves various people.
It seems that sometimes some people feel like a bit of a stoush. Well if it is two or more consenting adults, I have no problem with that. But it does kind of spoil threads about, for example, bad 80s hairdos. Take it to the combat zone, stoushers. Once an exchange of this sort gets started, one party can simply challenge the other to "step outside and meet me in the abuse forum" where they can then go at it while everyone else talks about their fashion follies. Or a third party can suggest that the antagonists take it elsewhere.
I'd like this. What do you other folks think?
We'd need a smiley slapping another with a glove, though.
i think you are an attention seeking asshole.
and your feet smell bad.
edit: went off prematurely. was working on a smart ass remark, but i posted befor i got it out of my pants.
Why do you only jump on RK for this - it's not like he's the only one who does it?
True, true. But he's the one in the crosshairs now, and he's the one being a jerk and being unable to listen to (or, at least, consider) any criticism at all. It's childish and immature.
[QUOTE=ZenGum;396764may I suggest that the cellar would benefit from a new forum: ABUSE. I was going to suggest a thread but I really think it needs its own forum[/QUOTE]
No offense, but that is the worst idea I have ever heard of.
worse than the members only jacket?
Ohhhh, I want a pair of mirrored sunglasses....
Lookout....get back to work!
and so, to bring this thread full circle and return to 80s hair, I give you 80s hair, troll style:
he's the one being a jerk and being unable to listen to (or, at least, consider) any criticism at all.
Incorrect, you are the one who does not listen, over and over again I have told you I don't give a shit what you think.
You choose not to hear it.
...Yes, you're right, I totally don't llisten to you when you say you dont listen to or consider any criticism at all, which is... why I said you dont...?
...What?
give it up Ibram, it is like arguing with TW if you removed his analytical skills.
I don't think tw's ever tried the 'no, its not me who doesn't care, its YOU that doesnt care, because ive told you a thousand times I DONT CARE!'
no, but it is the same game. tw's version goes like this:
poster: tw i think your analysis of XYZ may be faulty in that...
TW: well, big dic, george jr, mental midget, 7 minutes, top management, mba's, as previously shown.
that is his schtick.
Raging guys is:
Poster: Rage I disagree and I think...
Rage: I don't care what you think, something shiny, stalker, scumbag christians, and if you didn't already know i've seen everything but the wind and done everything but die.
that is his, but it is really just a different version of the same game. the difference is that tw actually does bring value in that he does research the hell out of things and does bring some indepth analysis to the table. Rage just links in articles and reminds you that he doesn'tcare what you think.
I don't think tw's ever tried the 'no, its not me who doesn't care, its YOU that doesnt care, because ive told you a thousand times I DONT CARE!'
Then quit bitching like a little girl.
If you didn't care you would not complain about my posts to begin with. So just stop.

you might want to reread that rage. that is ibby's impression of you. excellent reading comprehension BTW.
Coming from someone who followed me through the threads for two days, that's rich.
that's right psycho boy, i got here more than three years ago and have posted all over the place but my pointing out what an asshole you are in a couple of spots equates to me following you around. dumbshit.
uhh... I do care, thats why I gave you constructive fucking criticism, rk. Which is exactly what I'm fucking talking about. I'm not complaining, I'm criticizing, and you can't be bothered to read what anyone else has to say about you or anyone or anything else, because you don't care what anyone has to say about you or anyone or anything else. If you've formulated an opinion on it, you dont care about anyone else's opinion because yours is right, and if you havent you dont care what they have to say because you dont care about whatever theyre talking about. You don't debate, you tell people why you're right and then skip the whole listening to them part, and just say you're right again, then follow up with either a well-placed LOL, a sentence of contractions, a quickly photoshopped picture, or something about stalking or some shit like that.
Its getting old.

How eloquent and sussinct... I think I have seen the light!:eek:
I do change my opinion from time to time Ib. It has happened, if the argument is logical or I have been shown to incorrect. I thank anyone who has shown me I am wrong, that is a good day for me, I live to learn.
How you
feel about my side of the argument?
Nope. Don't see the point.

whew..didnt see THAT coming.
so.... seriously, though. you've been called on that statement before. and you pulled that same shit. you say that you have changed your stance...been wrong and admitted it. surely you recall what the topic was at least. give me a clue...i'll see if I can find it. or are you just talking shit, and posing agian?

No offense, but that is the worst idea I have ever heard of.
No offense taken, but if that's the
worst idea you have
ever heard of, you should get out more often. Or else follow a TW Vs UG exchange, one of those two is bound to leave you gaping. Possibly both.
Seriously, I find it repelling, seeing amusing threads swamped by personal feuds. The "80s hair" and "special talent/curse" threads have been pretty much killed by this and the "Black people "less intelligent" " thread is in dire peril.
I was attracted to the cellar for the witty humour, the bizarre stories and pictures, and quite a bit of good intelligent debate and controversy. Name calling and flame wars can be found pretty much anywhere. So I was hoping we could quarantine them.
BTW, have you been welcomed, Spectacle?
Just in case: Welcome to the cellar, Spectacle.
:welcome:
you can TRY to quarantine flame fests....i actually tried to at first here when i put the list in the butthole thread. it never works tho....and spectacle is right to a point. the boardwide dynamic really doesn't support that kind of organization. sorry if our dirty underbelly offends or disappoints you, newgum.

Ah, well, I guess that is so.
I'll just have to learn when to stop checking threads, once they've degraded. Meh.

There's
this, from a long time ago.
Abuser is a noun, so it shouldn't have a hyphen at all. A hyphen indicates that the first adjective modifies the second term (which must be an adjective or adverb.) One who is both a dick and an abuser would have to be a "dick/abuser."
Communicating is the important factor, regardless of punctuation. Limpjism is a dick and an abuser. I hope communication has taken place. :D

Can I convince you that you're mistaken here?
Mid 80s, I guess. G st. Belle Chasse,LA
Can I convince you that you're mistaken here?
Well, honestly, no - because my only point is that Rob is unwilling to listen to criticism, and uh, he not only doesn't deny it but, he's proud of it.
If you can show me an instance where he says or does otherwise... fine.

With all due respect, your first sentence sounds like something you're accusing RK of saying.
"No" - I can't convince you that you're mistaken.
"Rob is" - stating your opinion as fact.
Monster - I liked the Troll Hair
Thank you. If I had time I'd start shopping photos of dwellars into really nasty 80s styes (especially those who will not let it lie....), but i have a house to bulldoze for my sprog's bday party tomorrow and I'm procrastinating. badly.
maybe I'll find my wedding pic at the bottom of all the piles of crap....
hey quick, post some more non-argumentative stuff, maybe we can pop this thread onto the next page before anybody realizes. I am planning to find my pics and scan them one day, honest. I still had my 80s hair in the 90s. That's how sad i am, fashion-wise
My most notable 80s haircut was partly an accident.
It was at a high-school pool party, and two girls said to me that I needed a haircut. I agreed, since it was a great way to sit still and have two nice young lasses stand very close to me. In swimsuits. Hmmmmmm. Gentle grooming behaviour.
Pity they were not quite so skilled at cutting hair as one might have hoped. Nah, who cares, and the next day a professional hairdresser was consulted and found the only solution to be a number three crew cut all over. It grew back, but not before I had convinced one teacher I was getting chemotherapy and another that I was turning Buddhist.
I have a few bowl cut pictures of my hair in the very early 80s back when I was younger and my dad would cut my hair.
It wasn't until I got to college and was off on my own in 1985 that I got a real haircut by a pro. Maybe this belongs in the "how poor were you thread."
Home grown bowl cuts may look OK on a kid, but they are a bit pathetic on a teenager. Anybody want to see some pathetic pictures? I can look for them.

Yes please.
Anything to gt this thread on a new page.
OK.
This was me in 1982. All awkward and skinny with a bad hair cut. Actually, the haircut isn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. This was just after my freshman year in High School. (9th grade)
I didn't know how to pose for a picture. Who puts their hands on their hips like that? They are backwards.
Ok. That's enough self criticism for one picture.
Here is a better picture. This was around September or October of 1982. We were in Pompeii and were trying to recreate the Abbey Road cover on the cool crosswalks they have there. My older brother is in front, and I'm in the back with bare feet. Can you tell that we haven't showered in about 2 weeks? We had been camping through Italy and there were no showers.
Well done for posting the first pic, that photo is not a forgiving one.
Camping/backpacking through Italy must have been cooooool. How old were you? I'm guessing about 15, since you mention being int he 9th grade at the same year. Is that right?
My hairstyle hasn't changed that much over the years either. First, I've never colored it - totally scared to death, that it will be some awful looking color. I have had a couple of perms - I'll post one "graduation pic" - my best friend did the perm - should have known to do "only a wave" rather than "curly perm" egads. One other I'll post - maybe get them both next week.
G - you should have been hugging a tree or something. That way it would have looked less "posey"
I promise to look for some old pics of myself this weekend...but in the meantime, I think we need to start a "show me your 80's glasses thread" :lol:

Yeah, that's how old I was. I was living in Germany with my family for the year, and we (the whole family) traveled all around Europe. We always camped because it was far cheaper than getting a few hotel rooms. But the campgrounds in Italy sucked. No showers for some reason.
That was a freakin' awesome year.

Ooo, One of the pics I'm gonna post - totally 80's glasses - big, bug-eyed & rose-colored - hated it. (now)
Well done for posting the first pic, that photo is not a forgiving one.

glatt, i only pick on the ones I love :)
Yeah, it's pretty bad, isn't it? :o
Those were some awkward times, but it's a genuine picture that captures how much of an awkward adolescent nerd I was then. Still am (a nerd,) but it's not as visible now. Besides, I don't have too many pictures from back then to choose from.
Let's see some more 80s pics folks!
glatt wants 2 b durty dansin
no titme to loldwellar right now.....
Glatt it proves there's hope for anyone - yes that pic is geeky and nerdy, no point lying - but look at you now :yum:
I want a scanner :mecry:
My sister had some great 80s hair (actually, her hair is still a source of amusement to me & my brother) and I had some terrible 80s glasses.
I chose them at 14 and hated them within a year, but Mum quite rightly refused to buy me another pair ("I told you not to buy red!") I had to wait til I started work at 16, then went straight for contact lenses. In the mean time I lived in a soft focus world and my friends had to be my eyes!
shudder
They aren't bad at all. At least your pose by that tree looks natural.
Glatt, I remember those shoes and how comfortable they were... man I would love some now! I had some hand-me-downs.

very natural!
I suppose.. my immediate reaction when I saw this for the first time in 20+ years (both from a box of old pics my parents dug up.. most much older, like from the 50s) was that the shirt tail makes it hard to tell at first that my hand is in the pocket, and not actually in the pants!
Really, the biggest thing is that I've had my beard so long that these look just completely otherworldly now.
very natural!
I finally found that damn Waldo dude!
He's got about 3 times the chin I do.. otherwise, good work!! (Jesus Dallas is still more imposing, though.)
Unfortunately he doesn't love you. He's extremely unhappy with the low amounts of your offerings lately.
I plan to repent on my death bed, so it should be ok.
Here is a better picture. This was around September or October of 1982. We were in Pompeii and were trying to recreate the Abbey Road cover on the cool crosswalks they have there. My older brother is in front, and I'm in the back with bare feet. Can you tell that we haven't showered in about 2 weeks? We had been camping through Italy and there were no showers.
I'm wondering how the road traffic got over those crosswalks??? Maybe it was a water (or sewage) viaduct?

The horses and wheels passed between the gaps. Roman chariots and wagons were standardized. You can see the ruts of the wheels.
I doubt every wagon and oxcart had a team of two or four. Quite tricky for a single, not to mention two way traffic. No wonder the empire collapsed.

It reduced unapproved traffic. Think of it as an early attempt at homeland security.

http://www.cellar.org/showpost.php?p=281372&postcount=104OK, how about May 6, 1984 (so says the date on the back)? I was 8.
Bonus pic of me right before an 8th grade band concert. My appreciation of the arts is obvious here :) Note the perm and 'fish mouth' bangs. Probably took me 30 minutes to get then juuusst right. :rolleyes:

Whatever was going on in the first pic, you don't look enthusiastic about either!!
Heh, probably the fact that I had to wear a dress...I was the posterchild for "tomboy".

Good Lord I know - it was my father's job, since my parents were divorced - however, technically it was still "my choice", ugh:)
My parents were going through some stuff, found some of my old pics. So, here's my 80's hair...two stages. First one is HS grad, 1983. Second is college grad, 1987. From no poof to poof galore, though that is the poofiest I ever went and it wasn't a normal occurence. Dig the HS outfit. I had a beret, but didn't choose one of the pics with it on.
footfootfoot bangs headheadhead on table.
Why do you torment me like this?
I love these resurrected threads.
Here's my 1986 senior pic. I have funnier ones, I may dig up the prom photo with the frizzy 'fro.
I was a big fan of teh PERM.
I approve.
That poofiness is positively restrained, by the standards of the time.
(eep) Juni, I look like that now, no perm. When it's humid, I have a afro.
Since I didn't have hair in the 80s (nor in the 60s and 70s) I didn't have a hairstyle per se. But here is a picture of my eighthead and cowlick.
Circa 1986
Eighthead, LOL. That is why I always have "fringe." I may not have eight, but it's definitely more than fore.
Here's a more authentic photo of my hair, I'm guessing it's 1987 or so.
Note the beyuteeful latch-hook rug on the wall and the stereo with 8-track player in the background. :)

Yeah, footx3 does look very cute in that pic. I love the itty-bitty mustache. But then he's pretty cute now, too. ;)
I love this thread. Thanks for bringing it back, Shawnee.
Probably taken during the summer of 1986.
Dig the HS outfit. I had a beret, but didn't choose one of the pics with it on.
Was your outfit inspired by Chachi?? :D
Chachi! I just snorted out loud in the public library.
Just for that I'm finding the one with the beret.
Oh, and foot? Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry thexy pic, baybay. ;)
Shawnee, what was Dick Van Patten like?
Kristy McNichol reference
hmm....upon further review, I don't think she was actually on Eight is Enough. I remember it that way though. Must have been thinking of all those
Love Boat episodes she was on.
What ever it was, she's as hot as Shawnee. :thumb:
wow. IMDB has the
episode videos.Yabbut, those pics were a long time ago. A lonnngggggg time ago. ;)
Heh, Kristy McNichol. In 7th grade Todd S was the first person to who ever told me I looked like someone "famous." He said I was KM all over!
I was thinking 8 is Enough too, but she was on Family...another show I watched.
btw, I love your senior pic, junie!
So my parents were cleaning out a room for remodeling, and us kids were helping. The dining room, with all its cabinets and shelves, had become a refuge for pictures, knick knacks and memorabilia. We had a blast. Mom came across these photos from college graduation, and I wanted to post somewhere because hey, I like them.
The two girls to my right (one only half in the photo) were friends I met at orientation weekend the summer before freshman year. Pat was not graduating because she was a pharmacy major and had another year to go. The girl on my left was my best friend; her dad was a biology prof (Dr Dad to us kids.) The blond girl with the seriously 80's hair, I cannot even think of her name. She was more a friend of my best friend.
Good times, good times.
Another like it, with Pat peeking her head in between, and us three graduates by ourselves.
One more: me probably checking that everything was signed. I'm done now. Thanks for indulging me. ;)
Shawnee, you do remind me a little of Kristy McNichol. Those are great Pics.
Heres me in 1980 - High School Grad and then me sometime around the end of the 80's wrking at Hyatt Regency in Cincinnati. I had those big glasses too, but on me they were HUGE.
WOW Pico...you are gorgeous (but I think I said that in the cookie thread.) :)
Thanks for sharing...I LOVE it. In your HS pic, you would have been the girl in HS I would have said "Oh why can't my hair look like that?"
I always wanted hair like Jaclyn Smith in Charlies Angels and I never felt like I got there, lol. Nowadays, I wish I could have that hair back.
What time did you get up to do your hair in the morning? I wasn't obsessed, exactly, but it was a process. Wash blow dry curling iron. Wait, wtf is going on with that strand? lol...these days I appreciate a more natural style, but still fuss like a girl when I'm trying to achieve an effect. ;)
I was a blow dry baby all the way. I think I had a curling iron, but I hated using them, and still do. (Until I discovered the curling brush - that made my life a lot easier). I was able to get the flip or curl in my hair with only the brush. I had very fine hair but lots of it with a lot of natural wave and body.
But how much time did I spend in the morning? AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. I usually didn't even wear make-up. I mean, in high school.
Sorry, I know it's scary, but some of you guys scared me first. This was about 1987.
I can't seem to find any photos of my hair between 1977 and 1989. Here's 1989:
Um OK. I was going to put this in the "Not RFN" thread, but it really belongs here. Oh god, here it goes. Circa 1986, holy shit that's some large hair.
My daughter walked up behind me while I was eating Thanksgiving dinner and flipped her (long) hair over my bald head. My cousins husband (one of my crew in the 80's) without pausing says, " Hey! I know that guy!"
Glinda with Farrah hair... :D
More big hair. I was in college at the time, working in Washington DC on a summer internship. And NO, I did not do Ronnie. ;)
Farrah-head with moose. Somewhere in Helsinki, I think, or maybe Leningrad, Russia (same trip, it's all mixed up together in my head - too much vodka!)
Glinda was rockin the Jennifer Grey look.

My hair was just like that!
In the mid 80s Boeing decided to issue a new kind of ID Badge, so they took new pictures of everyone. They're still using those pictures, much to the embarrassment of some of the women.
Awesome 80's hair J!
I just scanned these old pics for the facebook page of the bar (Oyster Bar, now 4 Dogs) where they were taken. Christmas party, either 87 or 88.
Good times...
Ok, you were 15 in 87 until July, and maybe 16 if it was 88. I look at that picture, and I want to do bad awful things to you. At first I was troubled by that....but then I used logic to overcome that feeling.
Given the fact that I didn't meet you until you were 17, and didn't actually get to DO the bad awful things until you were 18, and then I eventually married you...... I don't feel at all like a pedo for wanting to do said bad awful things. I've checked, and I don't want to do bad awful things to the other girls in the picture, so I know I'm wanting to do bad things for what must be good reasons. This must be retroactive pedophelia, which is Legal in PA.

Lumberjim, I agree with your post #235.
My only question is which one is Jinx?
I'm guessing she's either the one sitting or the one standing on the end.
you didn't recognize those shoulders?
Those pictures remind me of that movie with Juliette Lewis and Uma Thurman. I'm going to go try to figure out what it was.
Repost for Jinx....since Photobucket decided to eat the last photo...damn baby eating website
late 88 or early 89
edit: math is my friend...most likely early-mid 88
Why do you have oatmeal on your head?
Well that, dear HLJ, is due to the Flood O' 96, which destroyed all my family photos. Back in my day, we didn't have new fangled digital photos and fancy acid-free scrapbookin' papers.
That's unfortunate Razz. I kind of liked the idea of you with oatmeal on your head.
You weren't in the Red River Valley, by any chance?
Nah. We just lived in a flood zone.
and by flood zone, I mean our backyard had a path down to the creek in it, and we got new appliances and carpets every year...just that 96 was a little more than new carpets and appliances...like, new house on a mountain more

That pic was on the bedside table. It's (ahem) 'friendly fire'. Or, 'overspray', if you prefer.:doit:

Here's my 80's hair. And my baby sister. :)
Don't take this wrong, but for some reason the expression in that picture put me in mind of the Rodney James Alcala.
before you poke fun, this won a blue ribbon at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair. Notice the mustache, I should have been in porn.
Hey look! It's Yon Yonson! ;)
My name is Yon Yonson, I live in Wisconsin, I work in a lumbermill there...
my sister just emailed me this and a couple others like it. Wanna talk Mullet?
this one must have been taken just before the last.....
Hey, you could have been an extra in Roadhouse with blue.
I had a rattail.
I was wise enough not to have any pictures taken.
Nice Tee shirt Jim. Wow, and you grow fast beards. :P
That is my sis. The one with RSD.
I liked fried permed hair or pulled back.
Serious Hairy arms for a teenager!!!!!! teenwolf?
Glatt, I'm loving this photo. I hope it is large and framed, at your home. It's very cool imo.
I wish I could find it anonymously in my attic and wonder who those guys were to do a very cool rendition of Abbey Road.
Thanks! I like it too, but all I have is this digital copy. My cousin took it and has the original.
You could put it on disk and have a large photo printed from it that way or upload to one of those services, I can't think of the names right now.
Just thinking out-loud.
walmart will print it - BUT ...
Make sure you bring your camera in case you see some picture-worthy "people of walmart" people
This was not my particular 80s hair. But this was early 80s high school hair in Philadelphia. And it's big, oboy it's really really big.
[YOUTUBE]O_A5G_y-SJQ[/YOUTUBE]
Watch that vid without sound. Were the 80s really also characterized by THE WORST DANCING OF ALL TIME? :lol:
Yes. It was a show called Dancin on Air, and I suppose was an attempt to revive American Bandstand, since that originally came out of Philly. In doing so it inadvertently gave Kelly Ripa her first TV appearance.
[YOUTUBE]wwC-FWP6Kg8[/YOUTUBE]
And a small unknown band called Duran Duran, for which I think there is no footage available.
I love it. That made me look up some 80s dance learning videos on youtube. Great memories. Look at Kelly! OMG!
Damn UT - That brought back some frightening memories...
Did anyone else notice the guy at 3:30 dancing with the pom pom? WTF?
We just did this on another forum I'm on, so why the hell not here too. Me and my 80's hair. :D

OK, apparently I did not mention how much I like Springsteen but I will now. A very little bit. Born to Run was a great album, after that I only liked a few of his songs. So, no concert for me. ;)
I actively dislike Springsteen. Song mostly about the same thing - urban teenage angst, horrible singing voice.
Wow...tough crowd here I'm starting to notice.
His early stuff had an undeniable vibe and was lyrically evocative, leading to my current user title.
"The Rising" contains about four notes, and I am against that sort of thing.

In my opinion, then you haven't listened very closely.

"The Rising" contains about four notes, and I am against that sort of thing.
While I too definitely like his older albums better, there were many other albums released between the early stuff and The Rising. However, I do think The Rising was still a good album.
Not liking Springsteen is not really what I meant about 'tough crowd'. To each their own is what I say regarding that matter.
"The music he plays may not be your favorite, but it has a lot of the same notes"
It takes a tough crowd to make a tender forum.
"The music he plays may not be your favorite, but it has a lot of the same notes"
Why the quotes? And what kind of music do you like?

That's debatable.
The quotes because it is a quote of some local radio station, I forgot to add an attribution.
The second is a joke based on Purdue's slogan from the 70s or 80s
I don't know any of the newer Springsteen stuff, so I can't comment on it, but the old stuff is pretty good. Fun stuff. You have to sing along to things like Rosalita.
Pank Cadillac, too
yes, pank, not pink.

I think with any artist that has sustained the test of time for 35 or so years, will always have their best work from the earlier years.

I think with any artist that has sustained the test of time for 35 or so years, will always have their best work from the earlier years.
One of my issues is this: Born to Run was a huge seller. After BTR, his fans started to like his earlier stuff. Why? Was it good when it was originally released? Then why weren't Greetings from Asbury Park and The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle popular then? They were realeased at a time when FM radio was virtually free-format. Ed Sciaky played songs from his first two albums in 1973, when they were released, and they didn't make much of a splash. Two years later and his fans LOVED the first two albums.
Don't get me wrong, I think Bruce was an important artist, and a good, but not great song writer, but I just can't understand the zealous nature of his following.
Well, that's perfectly understandable. Haven't you ever learned of a band and then looking for more of their stuff, you discovered they had earlier music, so you listened to that too? Sometimes the earlier music is good, but you just didn't know about it, and sometimes it stinks.

Love stinks.
I love J. Geils. Bruce Springsteen isn't the only artist I listen to, but he is my favorite. I like a ton of classic rock like AC/DC, Boston, Foreigner, Styx, Journey, The Pretenders, The Police, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, The Eagles, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc etc etc. The list goes on and on.
hold up. WHY is zeppelin not on that list, young lady?

You know what freaks me out? The "oldies" station here used to be strictly 50's, then they moved to include 60's and 70's. But now they are classifying 80's as "oldies". Oldies?!! Was it really that long ago? I say no. Classic yes, but not oldies.:D

Tha's a fact. I ran the battery in my brother's car flat, because he had an 8 track player in it and I could turn it up as loud as it would go. Rumours on an 8 track is more than a match for a mere car battery.

well, you've only yourself to blame now.
That chic in the santa hat looks like a dude
Yeah, sort of... still enjoy them too.
But my girls told their friends my picture was on the penny.
Like the Penny Loafer?
. Classic yes, but not oldies.:D
Wait what? Did you just call me old?
Oh, and FIRE THE BOSS!

I did no such thing! :p::D
The recent spate of beards on many of the Cellar guys made me think back to the late 80's when I had a beard. So here's my 80s hair, including the beard.

Is that your wife in the first picture? She's beautiful!
Well, my wife is beautiful. But that's not my wife. She's just a friend from college. I actually almost posted a picture from that same party of me posing with an old girlfriend, but thought it would be weird, so I posted this one instead.
But check out the beard! It's thin around the mouth. I would never be able to pull off a goatee.

No - it's his beard.
Beautiful indeed! And so is she! :)
Seriously, great pictures. I'm digging the t-shirts and the backgrounds. Where were you in each pic?
The first picture is at a big springtime party called Floralia at my college. Lots of bands on the green by the library. The second one was in my dorm room senior year. I had a nice room. A single in a nice old dorm.
Neato. That was a dorm room? I can tell it has neat features. My dorm was fairly nondescript for being on an old college campus. I had roommates until about halfway through senior year.
We had Tunes on the Tundra in the spring. The tundra was the middle of the campus in the middle of nowhere northwest OH. It really was a wind tunnel. Tunes was an amazing time.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow, dorms all the way to senior year. That would have been so nice. At the University of Texas, dorms are pretty much exclusively reserved for freshmen. After that you can enter an extremely small lottery, or become an RA, but otherwise you're expected to find somewhere else to live. There are just too many students. A major portion live in collections of apartment complexes 10-15 miles away and ride bus shuttles in every day.
Small college, about 2500 students at the time. You couldn't bring a car until sophomore year (not like I had one to bring) but I had one later and I had to park in BFE, and most lived either in dorms or sorority/fraternity housing. I was awed by those who had off campus apartments. The town itself was about 5000, counting students. The apartment above the town newspaper building was the spot on earth, as far as I was concerned. I knew two sets of people who shared it and I fell in love with old places.
I guess it was 'bucolic.' ;)
Bucolic : Is that French for smells like a dairy?

My college was similar. It had possibly the most beautiful campus of all the colleges I visited. Lots of old stone buildings and large greens in between them. Situated on top of a hill overlooking the eastern end of Long Island Sound. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods owned by the college.
I had a roommate freshman year, but from sophomore year on, everyone had a single room. They were small rooms, but they were your own. Senior year, I got to live in the foreign language dorm, because I was a German major. It was the nicest dorm on campus with pretty big rooms for singles, and it was a nice old building with thick walls and a window sill about two feet deep that I always sat on. I could poke my head out the window and see out into the Sound in the distance. I think I did that once.
The dorm in the very center of this picture was where I lived senior year, and the dorm closest to the camera was where I spent my junior year.

This isn't the whole campus, but it's close. The circled building was my dorm freshman year. Third floor, windows didn't open, dimensions of the room were about 9.5 feet by 11 feet. But I liked my roommate, so it was all good.
My gawd glatt that's a gorgeous campus.
And damn Clod that is amazing. I've always said I wished I'd gone to a bigger school.
I remember wolf saying once how flat Ohio is. Tis true in some parts; there are beautiful hills in southern Ohio. I went to college in the flat part. :)
The first pic is from the back of campus (fraternity circle) and the second is the front with the old buildings. It's not a very good representation, but I fell in love with the old buildings, the hallowed halls if you will.
The third is back in the day!
I'd feel at home on infi's campus, but that huge urban campus in Texas would have been a very different experience.
Sure got your exercise though, walking from class to class. They tried to put you in a logical dorm space (my communications classes were all in the two buildings immediately to the left of my dorm, beyond the edge of the photo,) but all your core classes were a crap shoot, you never knew where they would end up. I had some classes in those grey buildings that get cut off in the bottom right, and the biggest dorm on campus, which had its own zipcode, would be just up and to the right of those. None of the private dorms are in the shot.
