Good Old Days?

Talking about  good old days:

Did you know
- that men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October)? When they changed from winter to summer clothing and vice versa, perhaps?

Warhol inspired Wig ?-artandhockey

-  that women kept their hair covered,  while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs-hmmm did bugs prefer males ;-) ?) and wore wigs.


- that the wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. These wigs could not be washed, of course  so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig into it, and bake it for 30  minutes. 

The heat would make the wig big and fluffy/ Which is were we get the term 'big wig'!

Now, we often use the term 'here comes the Big Wig' because someone is powerfully wealthy.
Or seems to be  ;-)!

Good ? Old Days of Hockey

    And so there is this paean to hair by Big Wigged Lady Gaga.....

For a place in the spotlight....

people will go to extremes and so there you have:
Bra fashions from almost chaste (although raising eyebrows THEN)

Tina Turner

To Engineered (?)

Cher                                               Early Madonna

back to nature (albeit with some visible help ;-)

and finally to  'The firework bra' 

and "The defender bra" complete with machine guns. I did not post the Video ALEJANDRO where Lady Gaga (how appropriately named) sports this .... personal weapon! Readers, if THAT curious, can go and find it on YouTube for themselves. Let me just say I think she tries (?) to spoof Madonna as in "Don't cry for me Argentina" but with questionable taste and sentiments.
A sign of the times..no need for concealed weapons :-)!

Even the arts follow suit as in this piece or maybe it is meant to reveal the "INNER WOMAN" ..lol.

 

And what about length in hair some people go to ..for their second of stardom?

Veritable gardens on hats sported here at the races...nothing like the ingenuity of American race goers!

Well, this post has nothing to do with hockey and very little with arts, just a thing that bugs me-the depths of sillyness to out do anyone else.. an extreme 'matching the Joneses' perhaps.

It  does makes me wonder if  extreme and/or funny hats are seen at hockey games, too?

Anyone out there with some snapshots? Feel free to contact us and submit any amusing pictures for the enjoyment of all.
