80s Hair

Elizabeth over at Little Bytes of Life had a great time at Scanfest - one topic of discussion was our "80s hair." You know, the days of mousse (does anyone use that still?), punk hairdos etc. I confessed, somewhere along the conversation, that my hair had been so many colors that my dandruff looked like jelly beans and my shadow looked like a stained glass window.

So, as she challenged us yesterday to show of our 1980s hair, here's mine for Elizabeth:




As you can see, in the late 1980s a bottle of peroxide was my best friend. I even learned how to do my eyebrows to match.

The year was 1989, it was the month of June and I was attending the San Francisco Symphony's Black & White Ball with my dance partner Nancy. She and I had started dancing back in 1987 and loved doing the Jitterbug, The Lindy, and West Coast Swing. The B&W Ball is a bi-annual fundraiser for the symphony where the rule is that everything is black and white - one year I saw Dinah Shore singing on the Opera House stage and then she invited people to come up an dance while she sang. It was amazing!

So, now I want to see all the others with their 1980s hair, or lack thereof. You can place a black bar across your eyes if you need to!
