    I used to live near that lady. She was hilarious. I'd see her at the gas station occasionally. She would wear a shirt saying her catchphrase. I'm not certain she lived there maybe visiting people she knew but I saw her plenty of times. She was very nice.

    Thing is, those photos are of Gene Tierney, a classic Hollywood actress who was big the 1940's.

    (I never understood why Rita Heyworth got a higher hotness rating, I think it was down to the films they starred in - Gene was stunning in Laura..)

    No spray cans filled with CFC propellants at that time, she just had a glorious head of hair.

    This is the second screenshot post today that asked why women used to have big hair and someone snippily "replied" that the hairspray is illegal now, which is objectively false. Only the CFC propellents are illegal. You can still buy a big ass can of AquaNet and spray your hair into the same big crunchy hairdo.

    What are the odds of the exact same idea but with different photos and slightly different wording happening organically on the same day?

    Those just look like wet set curls to me.

    Fashion isn't always about what looks the best on a person.

    This is my favorite fashion story.

    King Edward VII was at a country estate and decided to play tennis.

    His valet pulled out his tennis outfit, but was shocked to find that there was a sharp crease in the pants from being folded so long. The King told the servant not to bother ironing the creases out.

    The King went down in creased pants, and it's been a sign of a well dressed fellow to have a sharp crease in his pants ever since.

    supposedly the same Edward VII is the reason why the bottom button on a suit jacket is supposed to be left undone. he got too fat to fasten it, and the other men imitated that style

    It seems to me that the age of the fashion icon has passed us by.

    I can't remember the last time I saw a lot of people imitating any star's looks.

    When was the last time there was a Rachel haircut?

    Have you seen how the current king dresses? No thank you.

    Back in the day, John Kennedy killed the fedora when he went hatless to his Inauguration. James Bond had a hat in the gun barrel sequence of Dr. No and had lost it by the time they did Goldfinger.

    Miami Vice's look was widely copied.

    Like I said, I haven't seen any true fashion icons in years.
