Supporting The Shot

Hononegah68-004These strapping lads (okay, these two strapping lads and Kenny) display the most useful part of their shot put competition. I myself have never cast stones, but I imagine it takes a strong back to do so. These Illinois boys of ’68 would surely not chance it now.

A dollar could go a long way in 1935. A haircut, a shave, and goulash–only 50¢!

63-Year-Old Hairstyle Still Holds Up

Wow, you look like Wilson’s Airedale when he had the mange. – Wally Cleaver

Wally wouldn’t say that about this stylish gang in 1951. Although you won’t see many females rocking such short hairstyles nowadays, these fellows appear to have been plucked straight out of 2014.

 

Because That’s How Sexy People Pose

If Pink suddenly developed a Madonna-esque Material Girl fixation with Marilyn Monroe, rushed out to the closest Supercuts for a bad bleach job and an even worse perm, lamented her decision and (in lieu of shaving it all off a la Britney Spears) drank the regret away with Fireball Whisky, jumped aboard a casino boat and (while at the buffet) stole several of their fiesta-themed napkins and fashioned them into a bikini, then (like Natalie Wood) “fell” off the boat and wound up ashore at dawn with a beast of a hangover, briefly considered an alternate career as a driftwood artist, and decided that her first good decision of the day would be to seductively climb aboard a plywood crate, sucking in that tummy–it would look like this.

Bad Bang Theory 1962

Well, if that’s the way you feel about it, Janis, don’t smile. No matter. The 1962 Hardin-Simmons University annual offers up plenty of ladies more than happy to flaunt their bangs, including the “inverted heart.”

One of these ladies even showed some teeth.

These gals only look smug because they’re perusing pics of people with even inferior bangs.

And how about these bedroom eyes?

Collaborating And Listening

Cactus93-008

Kay and Peter enjoy drinks at Babe’s on Sixth Street in Austin, back when ashtrays denoted that smoking was allowed.

The next pic is “collaborating but not listening” because the bold houndstooth print jacket is too loud for anyone to hear anything. Let’s keep in mind this was the 90s, not Melanie Griffith in the 80s.
