The Hair Care Bunch
Some goofy hairstyles from 1977’s Vogue Body and Beauty Book might serve as inspiration for halloween costumers or drag queens. I’ve always liked that “disco helmet hair” look in vogue briefly during the late ’70s. Dorothy Stratten in Galaxina, Frida of ABBA and (briefly) Elaine Joyce of Match Game had that ’do. And it’s not in an ironic “ha ha” way, either; I really do like that hairstyle. It takes a certain kind of nervy woman to pull that look off, however.
Completely unrelated: Ken Jennings blogs on his experience guesting on NBC’s 1 vs. 100. Interesting reading with Jennings pointing out the obvious shortcomings of the show. I watched one and only one installment. Cool set, nice concept, non-engaging gameplay, unbelievably stupid questions. A Television Without Pity forum poster accurately desribed the show as “Jeopardy with a lobotomy”.

Hi, Scrubbles, and thanks for the plug.

One of the trillion reasons I so enjoy your blog (and your friendship) is that you can casually mention "Elaine Joyce" and I am instantly transported back to my youth, replete with fish-sticks, Donny Osmond, and Kliban kitties.
Will my kid some day wax nostalgic for WMDs, Lo-Carb diets, and Lindsay Lohan videos?
Yikes.
