Remembering the 1980's

The eighties ignited a hair bomb
With Siouxsie And The Banshees
Cyndi Lauper and Platinum Blonde

With enough Final Net and a thorough tease
Your hair would stand up to the stiffest breeze

Gershon Wolf Date: 11/3/2018 9:22:00 PM So true! Brings back the memories of that awful 'cotton candy' hair. You've certainly 'reignited' the memories, Maureen. ~ gw Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 11/4/2018 8:15:00 AM Lol! Am loving the image that conjures ;D xomo!

Tim Smith Date: 11/1/2018 7:42:00 PM I do remember "big hair" but sadly much was a blur lol Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 11/4/2018 10:12:00 PM LOL Tim Smith Date: 11/2/2018 6:45:00 PM Those were blurry too lol Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 11/2/2018 12:45:00 PM Lol!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/1/2018 3:51:00 PM Very creative approach to the contest! That wild-hair look dodges into the '60s and the present as well, Maureen. Cyndi's still sporting it and it's still hard to get used to my mailman's ever-changing colored hair and beard. Today you "stand out" more if you don't have this look! Enjoyed, Carolyn Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/4/2018 12:04:00 PM Would love to see a photo of the "rainbow colour trend." Also, wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your comment on John Lawless's poem about squirrels laughing at dogs that wear clothes. You have a keen sense of wit, Maureen! I'm a fan. Hugs Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 11/2/2018 12:42:00 PM True dat! I've embraced the rainbow colour trend but lean towards the 20's bob ;) xomo!

Chris Green Date: 11/1/2018 3:10:00 PM That was funny and brings back memories I had hoped I had forgot. :) But you know what they say....Girls just want to have fun-un Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 11/2/2018 12:40:00 PM It's all we really wa-a-ant! ;) xomo!
