On the importance of hairstyles

especially when you have a big nose.

I learned a lot from her, but here is a woman who has not understood herself this important rule. Straight works better than curly when you have a big old hooter. Behold: on the left, quite foxy and Nerfertiti-like. On the right... the horror, the horror!

(I am not mentioning her by name, oh no. I learned from my mistake with C*h*e*r, from whom most of my traffic comes.)

This made me laugh. I have repeatedly been told that I look like BS* "but yerknow like when she was younger". There is nothing wrong with a big nose. I am a proud owner. But the afro look does not become...

*Couldn't work out if I preferred this comment or one that came that same week, by another person, when I was told the resemblance to Kristin Scott Thomas was striking, "but like not so... skinny".

I am not sure any kind of nose could successfully pull off that home-perming-kit-from-Superdrug look on the right.

A Bee- Gee? That's Kris "Me And Bobby McGee" Kristofferson, gravel-voiced, hirsute star of 70s cinema.

*wyndham claps himself on the firehead*

The 'hirsute' Mr Kristofferson has been at the Veet methinks.
(You'd think he'd lend some to the munter with the nose)

Indeed, Babs appears to be wearing his chesthair on her head.

I love the film that the photo on the left is from. It's a great scene from "What's up doc?" when after a long series of mishaps caused by Barbra, Ryan O'Neal pulls the sheet off the top of this grand piano and finds her sleeping underneath it. And then they sing As time goes by...

I think maybe I saw that film over 30 times as a kid.

Sarah, as Wyndham knows, this is Kris 'Help Me Make It Through The Night' Kristofferson. My mum had a crush on him in the 70s.

L'Oiseau - we call it the 'Jewfro'. Re: second comment - ha ha, cheeky bastard! L'Oiseau is gorgeous, ladies n gentlemen.

Jack, in my advancing years I've come to realise sadly that any kind of DIY hair kit is to be shunned (especially as I'm scared of hairdressers.)

Realdoc - ew! Those makeup artistes really earn their money don't they?

Wyndham - ha ha ha! LOL!

Claire, I remember this too. She keeps calling him Steve, though that's not his name. (those wacky screwball comedies!) Ryan O'Neal is prettier than she is in the film, but that goes for most of her co-stars at the time... (Robert Redford, Omar Sharif...)

wyndham: hahahahahahaha
I'm maybe twisted a little (consider living in the, so called, Eastern Block during the 80s), but she doesn't look that bad! :)
