Believe it or not, real people who weren’t drunk used to go out with these hairstyles in public.  They thought they looked cool and hot.  I beg to differ…

	1968 – the year that I was born, A la Mary Tyler Moore. This one isn’t too bad compared to the others.  I would think it would have involved sleeping with giant rollers digging into your neck and waking up with a crick, which explains why the head is tilted to one side.  Women have always suffered for their beauty.
	1958, one year before my hubby was born.  ‘Children! Children!  Be quiet!  Your father has had a hard day at work.  Here dear, here’s your slippers, your pipe, your newspaper.  Now I’m just going to tidy myself up before I cook dinner, do the laundry and clean the toilet.  Lipstick, check, hairspray, check…’
	1980. While us naturally curly headed people were struggling with the bane of our lives, people with straight hair opted for this very natural perm.  Unfortunately, they didn’t realise that they naturally looked like a poodle, not a human.
	1960. You too could have become a stunning sex symbol just like in this photo, with the latest designer spectacles, a thrice weekly visit to the salon and three litres of hair spray.
	1982. When I look at this photo I curse the fact that fashion always seems to come around again in cycles.  I dread this style.  I hope I’m bald by the time this one makes it around again.
