    I'm waiting for those white go-go boots to come back. Or maybe they did get reincarnated but I didn't notice.

    Admittedly that plastic piece to pouff up the hair is clever..and heck alot better than upbrushing hair and lacquering hair with tons of hairspray to freeze the heights.. but probably the gals are still throwing on tons of hairspray

    I'm disappointed when the Spanx and other types of body-shapers came back in style. For so long we never saw the girdles again. It doesn't help women become healthy. But maybe I'm just a klutz forgetting that there are the special events for some women to provide an illusion of something...for 1 night.

    In the 50's and 60's they had hair 'rats'- soft netted poofs that were in your shade of color and you held in place under your hair with bobby pins or wrapped your bun around:

    They were better than these hard plastic Armpits...ooops I mean BumPits.

    Women used to make their own hair rats from their own hair!:

    Yes, the rats would be a green solution. I remember the hair rats...watched a good friend when we were in high school do up her hair..for a prom.

    And some of the short cute dress jackets with flat large collars are back.... what a thought if jumpsuits ever came back.
