Big Hair Challenge

Angie, from her More Than Enough blog has sent out a challenge. This is to all you gals who got up a half hour early in the 80's and early 90's just to ensure enough time to curl, tease, poof and frizz their hair up into "Big Hair". C'mon, don't be shy...post your biggest hair photo!

Here is mine. It was a toss up between this one (Poodle Head) and the next year's (Sunflower Head), but Mike voted this one the biggest. This was from Jr. High. I think around 1988 or so. It took an awful lot of Aqua Net (it was the best for such projects, wasn't it?) to get my hair into this position, and then once it was there if you lifted one strand of hair the whole mess moved! I think the cherry on top is the una-brow I've got going on. What can I say? I hadn't yet learned what tweezers were all about.

That brow has nothing on my Jr. High brow! I might be able to find an eye brow photo and start another "challenge." I love how your picture is from Jr. High and I'm an adult headed toward 30 years old!!!! Oh well!

Um, yeah, I never was good at math. I'm gonna go change that. 1988 it is.
