Aquanet is industrial strength hair spray used and loved by generations of big hair women. Guaranteed to prevent any and all hair movement. Think helmet hair. If you need a demonstration, stop by the beauty shop where the older crowd gets "done" once a week. It's there.
On a lighter note, this thread prompted a dig down memory lane. I found my Ray Bans. And I'm wearing them. Tommorrow.

Ray Bans have never gone out of style. They will always be cool.
Are they mirrored?
Drat, now I have that awful song from Top Gun in my head!

I was going to post some picture of helmet hair from YouTube but apparently it means something else nowadays. Helmet hair refers to what your hair looks like after wearing a motorcycle helmet. So now I have this funny picture of helmet-headed older crowd women leaving the beauty shop on the back of a Harley, speeding down the highway without helmets and without one hair being displaced. Anyone know how to get the movies from my brain on to YouTube? |

No, these are not mirrored. Different Tom Cruise movie. Risky Business Ray Bans here. Although I did have a pair of the mirrored ones and now I need to scratch around in my stash and see if they are around here.

Florescent sweatshirts with ripped collars are not. Just Say No to the sweatshirt and you're fine.
Alternatively, say, "Relax, don't do it." I'm choking on my water. Okay, truth: do you not love that scene in The Wedding Singer when the cook gives that advice to Drew Berrymore? Further truth: do you not love her livingroom, all pink and purple and yellow? Furthest truth: do you not secretly love the entire movie? |

I do so love this thread. And it's in 'In the Classroom', so I get to feel like I'm posting to something substantial...

Oh, Aquanet. Killing the ozone layer for decades.
Even if the Eighties Apocalypse does come, at least I won't have braces this time!
<hums 'Come On Eileen'>
Aquanet doesn't contain CFC's anymore. I do recall it was very noxious when my grandmother used it. Why do I have Wham in my head? |

Hem, it's 'Wham!'
I am convinced that I know no Greek grammar because the part of my brain that is supposed to contain that information has Wham! lyrics lodged in it. That being said, I still heart Andrew Ridgeley.

Because in The Wedding Singer, Robbie's (ex)girlfriend Linda incorrectly sings "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." It's all about The Wedding Singer at this point. |

The loose version is Kennedy hair. In the late 60s, a lot of up and coming CA politicians were trying to cultivate this look. For the tight version, try to get YouTubes of certain newscasters...The Reagan era should yield the same look for females. |

Most people believe that Stone Phillips of NBC is the classic example of male broadcaster helmet hair.
On the subject of muffin tops etc- we went to the water park this last weekend. Wow, there's a sociological study for you. I've never seen so many skimpy pieces if clothing that people were bursting out of. And no matter if you are a 300 pound mound of round woman- wear a skimpy bikini! It made me feel skinny and elegantly dressed in my appropriately sized Land's End tankini!

I'm not sure why someone would want one, but I had a pair of jeans shrink and ended up with a 1-day muffin top. I didn't realize I had the dreaded muffin top going on until I got to school. I got rid of those jeans. Quickly.
Inquiring minds want to know how quickly, and where. |

Yes, Aquanet now comes (also/instead?) in a spritz/non-aerosol form. The stuff is indispensable for dance performances/competitions. (And no, no white flakes anymore, at least with fewer than three coats.)

Did anyone else wear those Madonna hair things, the long ties that were like an open weave? No one else knows what I'm talking about.
After reading this thread, I have an entire 80s soundtrack going through my head. Which, thankfully, is better than seeing muffin tops.
