me and my FRO



(Gary Rith in 1986 and 1987)
My pal's Ben and Cheri were joking about my big hair in the 80s. Not sure what they find so funny...... ;^) Cheri, that darling, says I have a rather hawt Isaac Mizrahi thing going, SO THERE! And NO Ben, it wasn't aquanet, it was benign neglect--no comb, let it GO.
(AND YES, I had bunnies when I was in college, I love pets!)


(me in 1987)

And I was trying to remember that SONG from the 70s when I was chatting with Lynda, a scmaltzy mess that catches you 'lalala we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun lalala...'
Terry Jacks, Seasons in the sun 1974.

    No bunny's here, cute though they are!

  10. Ah we had joy, we had fun.... So sweet and innocent. And I still have big, curly hair, all natural..., but unlike Gary I'm a woman so that's my excuse.... :-)

  11. I was BORN with this hair and if I let it grow, this is what it does.
